I`m going to build a Ukulele for my grandaughter.She absolutely loves it when Papa,that`s me, plays the guitar.She always joins in with her toy Ukulele.I know ,there`s a couple of different books,and I was wondering from some of you Uke builders which one,if any you prefer.Also the best place for materials.

you probably have enough scrap in your shop to make a soprano sized uke. Here is a link to a plan: http://elderly.com/books/items/113-28.htm Also try hanalima.com

As John stated, Mike Chock (Hana Lima I`a) has plans (and kits), as well as a book to go along with his kit. If you're into Spanish heels, you're set. http://www.hanalima.com/ David Hurd (Kawika `Ukulele) has a very descriptive site, and he will left brain you till no end. http://www.ukuleles.com/ Kathy Matsushita has also gone through an `ukulele build (not sure if its still on her site). Basically, when guitar makers build `ukulele, they generally (not always) overbuild the first time (especially Steel String builders). Think classical, and think light, and you'll be fine.
