Really enjoyed this Rich. Glad to see you undertaking a restoration. Thats going to be a lovely one to play.

[@richdavis4007]

Thanks, friend. A very satisfying project. Rich

[@reginashaffer5627]

I would love to find an ole girl to rescue!

[@richdavis4007]

I posted an ad in Craigslist and a lady delivered two ukes to me. She'd been carrying these around since 1960 and was ready to get rid of them!

Rich - I am a wood butcher - not a cabinet maker. I have "restored" four 1950s ukuleles so far. I discovered one had a crooked neck and was unplayable when I finished it. I was not happy. I sold it as planter box/boat paddle/wall-hanger/whatever. Where is the description/link so I can see the rest of your video. Fun stuff. Thanks. Rick

[@richdavis4007]

Sorry I didn't respond to this earlier. I guess I was scurrying around trying to find that other video. Rich

@@richdavis4007 I am basically computer illiterate. Still do not know how to find description/link on a KZbin video. Grandkids are not available. Can you help? Thank you. Rick.

Refurbishing one exactly like it can't wait tell I get all the stuff I need for it. Bought it from my friend for 10 bucks who go it from a retired music teacher. I am excited to start refurbishing it

[@richdavis4007]

Thanks for sharing your excitement with your new project. This ukulele still looks great after I fixed in up a few years ago. Have fun! Rich

@@richdavis4007 thanks you know you are one of my most favorite KZbinrs just because you are such a genuinely nice person making videos to help people and for fun keep up the good work

Thanks for your very kind words. Best wishes to you today! Rich

I'm not seeing a link in the description Rich and now I'm left in suspense. Must have gotten itself lost coming across the ocean 🤔😊

[@richdavis4007]

My fault. There's not a link because the video was stolen. I'll look for the other part (or the original video) and will post if I find. Rich

[@arc1105]

Interesting Rich, I seem to have a memory of that headstock sticker?? Is the one you rescued when you went to someone's house to buy a guitar (or uke) and you brought that one home as well? Anyways, cool view at the beginning of the video, those cracks have disappeared, quite the transformation. Good job Rich, happy day.

[@richdavis4007]

A woman and her husband drove many miles to bring this ukulele to me is response to a Craigslist ad. A couple more videos are coming very soon on this one. Thanks, ARC. Rich

[@barrywendelson]

When I follow the link in the description I am not able to find part 2. I would love to view the completion of this video, how could I find it? Thanks

[@richdavis4007]

My entire ukulele channel was stolen by people in Russia (over 2200 videos).This video I found and reposted. I thought it contained the complete project but maybe it doesn't. I have the ukulele and could post a video of it reclaimed, if you like. I'm not a ukulele or guitar tech and my work was amateur quality. Still, the ukulele looks and plays pretty nicely now, whereas before it was quite beat up. 😊😊

[@crochet18burple]

Does it play well? I’ve been curious about those

[@richdavis4007]

I will play a song and post. Off hand, I'd say not to go with these old ukes when new ones are better and so cheap. Rich
