This video was made from archive footage filmed by the Ford Motor Company around 1917, for a film titled "The Making of a Ukulele".Some fascinating technique on show.Love the way the bar frets are notched, just snapped off and bashed in with a regular carpenter's hammer.

  • VERY COOL....................................

  • Interesting use of the small hand plane and that big chisel.
  • thank you so much for posting that video, absolutely magic. A real treat to watch.

  • Ukes were hot back then.  Getting hot again.  Especially the concert and tenor sizes.   I need a new model T and a uke.
