Following all the stress I had with this job, I couldn't switch off the brain..something tells me there has to be an easier way to do this job apart from rope and sticky tape and painfull fingers..and this is what I came up with "The Acme binding jig"....It's still in the prototype stage and there are a couple of improvements still to do before I make the final one...I knocked up a mock uke body out of MDF routed the channels and gave it a test run with CA glue and Zapper..It almost worked perfectly with no glue on the fingers at all, no gaps and it just took minutes..I started at the waist wicking in the glue and zapping..I worked outwards clamping about 30mm spaces two a time top and bottom bouts together...Here are a few pics....There is more on this story here http://forum.ukuleleunderground.com/sho ... ings-alert
....binding on sopranos is a bit of a nightmare for me also and I've done loads..the area just either side of the waist gives me the most problems ...and the underside of the binding catches me out as well sometimes leaving a gap...but with this gadget it seems I have overcome these these niggles...because of the bigger arc's on Tenor ukes I find they are easier to bind.
