What do you need to play the ukulele?

Knives to carve and shape the wood. Bending and steaming equipment to form the woods. Clamps to hold the wood in shape as the glue dries. A drill would be useful. Small saws for the rough shaping would be useful. There are many other specialized tools that can make the work easier, such as a special router for putting binding on the edges, but they aren't required.
