Ummm, can I get some help here?

[pie_man_25]

yeah, it's on the ukulele I'm doing in shop, I'm done absolutely everything except fretting it, I managed to get the spacing from stewmac's fret calculator, unfortunately, but we've onvly got rulers and measuring tapes to do the measuring, I was hoping that one of you guys would be able to make a Jpeg or a png I could print out and use as a guideline for the fretting. I can post the distances in text if anyone wants it. I'll have pics after I'm done, I'm using a nice cedar cigar box ( I found a shop) the neck is poplar, and the fretboard is african mahogany, the tuners are the tuners from my saga strat (I've improved them and replaced them) and the bridge is a piece of Canadian white ash.

Hey Pie, I'm afraid I lack the expertise to help out, but I love your description. Sounds like a great project and I can't wait to see pics.

Hi Pieman I dont understand if you have the sizes why dont you just draw them up on a piece of card bord & mark them that way?

the distances are in decimals to the thousandth of an inch, while the rulers and tape measures are in fractions up to the 32nd of an inch, that's my problem.

Hey Pie_dude, send me the data, I can't promise anything except I will try. Never had to do that but I'll give it a whirl for ya.
Email me via the fret.

Now I understand

Hi Pie Man just use a calucator
1/64" = 15.6 thou
1/32" = 31.2
1/16" = 62.5
1/8" = 125
1/4" = 250
1/2" = 500

fractions ie 1/64" = ? thou
1 divide by 64 = 0.0156 x 1000 = 15.6 thou
( by the way where in the hell is devide on a keyboard)
to change fractions of inch to mm ie 1/64 is 1 divide 64 x 25.4 ( 25.4 mm too a inch) = 0.396mm
hopr this helps:rockon:

divide on the keyboard is the forward slash / key
