THAT TIME HAS COME AGAIN;  I am in the final finishing stages on the three concert pinecones and I got the itch to start the next build.  I have been thinking about making some more of the soprano Pinecones, the ultimate travel uke.  The have been so popular that I sold my last one more than a year ago and don't have one for myself.
This morning I decided to build a bunch of them and try to learn something about the efficiency of building a number of instruments at the same time.  This afternoon I started at 1;00.  I decided to build six at one time to test my efficiency theory.  By 5:00 I had assembled all of the parts to make them.

Many of the parts I had made previously .  The back blanks I had cut several years ago to be shipped to Mexico when I was having ukes made there.  The peg head plates were recently completed and I ordered more than I needed immediately .  The walnut necks have been hanging around the shop for a couple of years.  Once you start making parts you might as well make a few extras has been my theory. Many of the parts I was able to rough out just this afternoon.  Now that I have them all assembled and the fun begins.  Watch the blog as I take you along on building six soprano
