I’ve wanted to do luthiery for a few years. I’ve built one kit ukulele, which was fun, but didn’t come out as nicely as I’d like. I’m not doing anything currently, but I’d like to get more involved in building instruments.

I ran across Kathy Matsushita’s amateur luthiery page<\/a> some years ago, then lost the link. I found it again recently, and there are some new things on it.<\/p>\n
