ANOTHER UKE CONSTRUCTED.

LLOYD'S # 146 is now constructed and ready for its final sanding.  This is going to be a good one.  Here I am shaping the peg head having just glued on the spalted maple faceplate.
Picture
Lloyd ordered Waverly geared tuners and they require a pretty thick peg head to fit properly, so I am carefully measuring the tuners to make sure the Peghead is the proper thickness.
Picture
Here I am measuring the space needed for the Waverly tuner.

Picture
a handsome box for these lovely tuners.
Picture
I must reduce the thickness to this point
Picture
Here is the challenge scribed on the peg head
Picture
I will reduce the thickness with this Shinto rasp which does a great job flattening wood.
Picture
After a few minutes with the great Japanese rasp the peg head is now the proper thickness.
Picture
Yep,  the Waverly tuners now fit.

and Lloyd's tenor, #146 is now built requiring only its final sanding and the french polish.
