Today I created holes.  By far the most challenging hole was the sound port.  After making a number of sound port sizes via powerpoint, I had to decide how to make it.  I tried using a template with a router bushing/collar and while it worked beautifully on a flat surface, it certainly wasn’t working on the curved side of an ukulele.  Finally settled on freehand using a Dremel router on my Stew-Mac mount.  After sanding to the desired shape, I added some vertical bracing on two of the sides of the oval and strengthened the oval edge by “brushing” on thin CA glue.

The other holes were far easier.  Added a hole for mounting the neck and added a hole in the heel block for the pickup.  Brad-point bits make life much easier!
