HERE IS THE PLAN FOR SIDE SOUND PORTS.

NOW THAT I HAVE a supply of those lovely sound port rings I will share how I intend to use them.

I have taken one of the tough boxwood rings to the oscillating sander to shape it to the curve of the ukulele bout.  Once I get that curve perfect I will have a reliable scribing oval to draw the thin pencil line marking the hole I must cut into the uke.  I will keep this as my marking tool for future installations.

Here it is ready to use to mark the side bout of the first uke.  I will use the thin lead of a .500 automatic pencil to make the finest line I can.  Then with great care cut to the inside of that line seeking a perfect fit of one of these rings.  Watch in future blogs as I attempt this delicate work and wish me luck.

If you are building a uke and would like to try this send me an email.  Cousin Ric says he will make more of them and we can probably get them to you for about $12.00 each.  You specify the wood that you would like.
