Making a Tassie Oak Ukulele Stand

Revisiting my first hardwood project and gee I wasn't ready, so many mistakes! A homemade ukulele stand for the wifie based on a DIY guitar stand by Drew at Fisher's Shop. I struggled a lot but learnt heaps.

Here is a non-exhaustive list:
- Learn edge jointing: My split router fence worked, but it helps if the blade is at actually 90 degrees.
- Dowels are needed when the surface area of joints is minimal.
- Don't use PVA on dense grain wood like Tassie Oak
- Dremel Carving is fun
- Hardwood is hard, your cheap Bunnings bits won't cut it (pun intended).
- Routers and disk sanders can have massive kickback, watch your technique and fingers.
- Never film yourself sanding a dowel 😂

This is my second "All Chop! No Chat!" re-edit taking this build down from 2 parts and 33 minutes to just 7 minutes with a chilled backing track 😊 We don't get many do-overs in life, but fortunately, YouTube is a place where this can be possible. Enjoy!

(...and if you do check out the long version be kind, I was literally a couple of months in since picking up my first saw 😅)
