What I meant was the uke is so tiny I couldn't adjust the MM to it. I don't think. In order to do as you said. I would have to freehand it if I was to try and duplicate the uke. If I'm understanding how you said it's done

Correct the MM was not designed for ukelele construction. Not sure if it could be adapted? -- but I really was not suggesting it be used.

Guess I was just confused. The using the 15'bar is what got me confused. As isn't that used with the MM? It don't make any difference? I've already built a form for the little Uke anyway. I was just wondering how the wood got bowed.But after measuring I see that it was done the way you said it was. I don't think I'll even attempt to bow the back.

Totally awesome Ken. Looks like a neat project. The form I built is like a fiddle form. In other words you build around it not inside like we do here. I guess I could just do one though it's just opposite of what I have now. Not that big of a deal to re-do.

I hope I was able to do this. Not a real good picture
