The new venture of building ukes starts with making jigs, molds, templates and patterns for uke construction.  I will need:

1.  Bending mold for use in the side bender.

2.  Template for back and top.

3.  Workboard and side mold.

4.  Shooting board (to cut tapers for sides and fretboard).

The top and back template is complete, and is used to trace out the bending mold.
