Uke build 1.0 - neck and tail blocks

First, here's the neck block with model and serial numbers stamped in. Kind of hard to read. They are U1-AM and 2008001.


I added some waxed paper to the jig to keep from gluing the uke to the jig. This turns out to be important a little later. ;^)


Here I'm taping the two end of the sides together. I used a couple of small bar clamps to hold it together at the waist so it wouldn't fight me.


Here are the sides, neck block, and tail block dry clamped together.


And here's everything glued in place. You can see from the line of glue on the tail block that I got a little overzealous there. Good thing for the waxed paper.


That's all for now.
