Today was the day to get the bindings on Ree's uke. in preparation I get lots of pieces of tape ready because they want to go on rapidly once the glue is applied to the bindings.
The bindings are trimmed to length and tapered where they meet, then held in place by this special hi tack tape while the glue sets. The clamp does the job at the end where I can't get tape to
hold tight.
hold tight.
Oh yeah! This is a nice fit on Stephens maple tenor. I will trim it off just at the pencil mark.
This Japanese saw makes short work of the trim, Now for the other side.
Another nice fit so now it is time for the glue and the clamps.
And here we are, sides on, tentalones on, See I have not forgotten you Stephen.
