How to Build a Ukulele Bass // Sides, Linings, End and Neck Blocks - Ep.1

[@JolienBrebels]

What a beautiful Ukelele!

[@paulmurray938]

The sanding/glue-up jig was outstanding. Great work!!

[@jcsrst]

What an ambitious project! I don't think there is a greater test of woodworking skill than making such a complicated instrument. Very impressive work!

[@theneves60]

Hi Cristiana! Glad to see you have entered the amazing world of lutherie! I am a hobbyst luthier and, in my humble opinion, your job is very good! But I must warn you: lutherie is an addiction! You will not stop in one only instrument! By the way, I like your musical preferences! Beijos do Brasil!

[@ajca69420]

That's what I'm talking about! A lot of maker channels don't make musical instruments. Awesome video!

[@jasper6916]

Honestly you don’t get enough credit, legit an awesome boss who makes a ukulele because no one els has, I wish I could do it with as much confidence as you.

[@philliparudolph9595]

your perseverance, patience and artistry are phenomenal, thank you

[@LewHarriman]

Tape one side, partly open the joint, then insert glue and flatten... what a great, great way to edge-glue wide-but-thin panels!

[@beardedgremlin8117]

Ok haven’t played a bass in 20years but this makes me wanna get my hands dirty and make one so I can play. Great video looking forward to next one

[@adammono1839]

Such an amazing video. Exactly what I've been looking for for months

[@lauravaldes9794]

The satisfaction of do it with your hands 😊 (made it from scratch )😍

[@Automative]

Like for "The Time is Now" and "Whole Lotta Love". Great project btw!

[@Bergalicious38]

♪♫ Money...get away. Get a good job with more pay and your okay! ♪♫ I love the colors! Beautiful work!

[@TravisMeeks6]

most interesting person on the planet, i swear. awesome work!!

[@grabdmitry]

Спасибо тебе Кристина за прекрасную работу. Смотреть одно удовольствие. Лайк!

[@joshuagrai7330]

My goodness. Unbelievable. Way to crush it, you are very inspiring.

[@reavalo_]

I don't even know anything about crafting and all those awesome tools. It's just a pure pleasure watching your videos Cris... Can't wait for the next episode! Such an honor to be able to witness the growth of your channel :)

[@amys3168]

Nice Even and katelyn shirt! I love how supportive the making community is!

[@vinicoutinho]

Wow! Set the bar high up! Amazing job! Great video!

[@julianvidela550]

I see your videos from Argentina, I just want to tell you that I admire you even though it costs me to understand what you say because I do not understand English. I admire you and forgive me for my English I am using translator

[@GetHandsDirty]

Julian Videla Muchas gracias, o teu inglês está muito bem ;)

[@jadenlee.mp4]

Su inglés es mejor que la mayoría de las personas en este sitio, bien hecho por encontrar una manera de superar la barrera del idioma. Lo siento si mi español es malo, también estoy usando el traductor.

[@EnderRis]

Patiently awaiting episode 2. Okay I lied we want the next episode now please. ❤️

[@ravelitschimo]

You are the Stradivari of the UkuleleBass, great Video.. I’m an Bassist..

[@Jade-zx8md]

The project is great and the video production is also great 👍 very different from most videos on KZbin

[@CStewart0416]

The time and attention to detail is amazing! Absolutely brilliant!

[@AliAlSawad]

All the respect Cris! That was huge work and research.

[@seansysig]

Very interesting project. I really dig the bass and its rich tone. Can't wait for episode 2!

[@Olliesmither]

this is the best youtube channel ! i cant wait to have my own workshop and make videos like this !!

[@airwolf61970]

I was enthralled!...... Wow! What a great project.

[@thechumpsbeendumped.7797]

Lovely work. I’ll be watching the whole series. A little tip for when you need to shorten bolt threads is to put a nut or 2 below the cut first and then cut to length, round off the end then remove the nuts. The nuts will clear any damaged threads and make putting any subsequent nuts on much easier.

[@osvaldocalzada2583]

Just mesmerizing!!! Great work.

[@MRrwmac]

Absolutely amazing attention to detail AND ingenious innovative ways to clamp, mold, shape pieces for the project!!

[@SeymourClearly2]

This is the most amazing thing you've built. It's on another level. I'll never build one, but totally fascinated by it. Truly brilliant!

[@xspager]

Very complex, good to see that you had success, can't wait for the next episode

[@Papa_D]

Wow Cris ... You are such a talented woodworker ! I am truly inspired by your skill level and the things that you make. You are one heck of a maker ! Excellent work as usual and a beautiful job. I wish you lived closer so I could be a friend to visit and watch you work and enjoy comradery. Just love the work you do and really love your X-Carve machine ! :-) Dennis from western Canada

[@inventables]

You always find the most creative, beautiful ways to use X-Carve. Can't wait to see part 2!

[@KLWStrings]

I've built about 30 string instruments, i wish my first ones had looked as good as your first is looking!!! Well done!!

[@zachwolfrom4522]

You are my favorite person on KZbin.

[@lydiazeigler3019]

Incredible! Love the documentation of this process

[@ddexpress]

Amazing work so far, especially making an instrument from scratch like that. I have my popcorn with me now, so onto the next one.

[@canoeconcerts]

So much looking forward to Part two....thanks for the great entertainment.

[@frankbusuttil2572]

Didn't want it to end Cris. Exceptional work and great vid. Can't wait till next week.

[@GetHandsDirty]

Frank B I appreciate that, glad to see your enthusiasm 😃

[@JakobFo2]

That's the coolest project I've ever seen so far.

[@angushoban347]

what a great achievement , looks like you didn't have any plans , i have built guitars and its not easy especially bending the sides , you did a fantastic job well done !

[@jrvdl8]

Holy smokes that was incredible! I have a law exam in 5 hours and still need to study six articles and revise my summary but this was definitely worth my time! The skill and effort you put in this is amazing, well done!

[@lilbohbeat5785]

This is so enjoyable to watch!! Something tells me I’ll be playing this later, to listen to whilst falling asleep

[@bastelbaer_eu]

Und ich dachte immer, man müsste Instrumentenbauer sein um sowas schönes erschaffen zu können aber da habe ich mich wohl geirrt. Du spielst ziemlich gut auf diesem Bass. Ich bin echt beeindruckt von deinen Fähigkeiten! 👍👍👍 :-) (Ich freu mich schon auf den nächsten Teil....)

[@andreylebedev1988]

You really are the best master girl! Only in the air conditioner do you need to change the filter more often.

[@sgsax]

Really impressive for a first try. Research and having good friends/community pays off. :) Looking great so far! Thanks for sharing!

[@imprezawrxru]

Greets from Russia. You are the Best!

[@Katsumoto94]

What an ambitious project. I'm very happy for you that it turned out that great. Can't wait for next sunday...

[@elleventeenmkhoza921]

I love the way you do these things

[@ashilling9283]

Amazing work! I feel so fortunate to have been able to watch you create that piece or rather the first half of it. Time flew. Excited about what I have learned. Obrigado!

[@leonardcrate]

I never seen these strings before, I do own one u-bass and the strings are almost like a big elastic band, I gotta find these!! Great build by the way 😉🎸

[@raynoladominguez4730]

This is a very enjoyable video to watch. Rather ingenious methods of molding and clamping. Congratulations, from what I have heard it sounds great.

[@reeceburns5681]

So many clever tricks great video and beautiful work

[@Bluenautilus843]

Such a great build! What a wonderful piece of functional art.

[@Zorndar83]

Incredible ambitious project. Well executed too it seems, you should be damn proud!

[@Branwolfe1]

Wow I always love watching what you do. You're so smart and creative!

[@anayazg]

This was truly fascinating to watch! Very impressive!

[@82745tt]

Hello Christiana, You have a great channel, all videos are superb, candy to my eyes! Good luck in future projects and keep rocking!

[@TheKermitClein]

Wow, this is mindblowing. What a great projekt!

[@StamosTee]

Finally it's here! You strated the video with the uculele completed, which looks and sounds fantastic!! I Wanted to post a comment, but I cannot find what to say to express myself for your work. Really impressed !!!!!

[@GetHandsDirty]

Stamatis T Thanks a lot!!

[@SubsonicNoise]

omgg is there like, a single thing you can't build? Building instruments has been a huge dream of mine tbh. Amazing job!

[@SubsonicNoise]

Also, I think it's super funny you're using that colored mdf for everything now. How much did they send you?? :p

[@GetHandsDirty]

Willow S Ahah this one is not valchromat, is just regular water resistant mdf (no special brand) that in Portugal is typically dyed in green to be easily distinguishable from the crappy brown one. I had this large scrap and went for it!

[@SubsonicNoise]

Ahhh I was starting to wonder hahahah Can't wait for the next episodes!

[@francescoliviovarani4923]

Ciao Cristiana, un lavoro veramente impegnativo che ha dato i suoi risultati molto, molto positivi. Complimenti 😉👍👍👍👍

[@chm1701]

This is absolutely incredible. I’m really enjoying your videos. This video proves how much skill you have Cris. Your woodworking skills are superb, but also, your musical skills are on point too. Fantastic viewing, great editing and I really enjoyed the interludes too.

[@josephmasso]

Hi Cristiana, congrats for the great job you did there. I saw you struggling with the side lining and thought maybe you could have done it the same way guitar makers do. Check "kerfed guitar linings". with this system the lining follows any curve just buy clamping every few centimetres with little glue and hardly any pressure. Hope it may help for the future!

[@ealago]

Cool first episode! And we can hear alright that tone! Let's go and build a Les Paul replica!! :D

[@TheKilkan90]

Oh my god i've always deamed about this exact same proyect but never imagined being posible to make, and now that i've seen your video got even more inspired to start learning woodworking and become better to some day become good enough to do the same build, this is by far the video that i've most enjoyed watching, can't wait for part 2, thank you

[@misterikkit]

I love the format of this video

[@tc-pe4zw]

So impressive -congratulations on such a wonderful instrument

[@Kkuts37]

Just FABULOUS! Can't wait for next Sunday!!

[@kristiandawe85]

The bass sounds amazing, It looks amazing. Keep up the awesome work.

[@rotstubbe]

And a Floyd into,,,,nailed it again

[@sylviadavis3618]

[@c8lynwilson]

Amazing work - such dedication and commitment to take on such a technical challenge and produce a top-class instrument!!

[@jonash.7258]

[@Gender1979]

i am in shock and amazement on the beautiful work your doing, and the amount of clamps i just saw.. dont ask me to go near it i would accidently move them. :P

[@manhae99]

[@Floerp]

Here´s the titles of the Interludes (I didn´t get them all): 1. Money- Pink Floyd 2. The Time Is Now- Moloko 3. ? 4. Robot Rock- Daft Punk (I think?) 5. ? (man I´m worse at this, than I thought.) Great Video, keep it up! Looking forward to part 2 and more awesome Interludes.

[@berniesr]

Great video love the detail on your workflow and the incidental music was great as well
