Sorry I haven’t posted for a while but there has not been much to say. I’m still quietly working away at improving my skills and I’m starting to get a little exposure through the local market. Having said that I’m not going to spend a lot of money trying to promote guitars that people may not want. I think they’re good, but then I’m biased.
From time to time I find a piece of wood that I believe would make a good instrument, and a few times that’s proven correct. So I’ll just potter along and see how it goes.

Retired taxi driver who enjoys playing golf, adequately, playing guitar, for self and dog, working with wood as a member of the local woodworking club, and getting up late.
About 5 years ago, shortly after retiring, I came to the conclusion that my talents might lie in making guitars instead of playing them. So that's what I started to do. So now I'm an amateur luthier. People ask me if I have sold any guitars. Well, no. If I did then I would be conducting a business, wouldn't I. And I'm sure the first to find out about that would be Centrelink, who pay my fortnightly pension, bless their little cotton socks. I have done a small amount of remedial work, to pay for material you understand.
About 2 years ago I started a ukelele making group within our woodworking club. We meet every Wednesday night, and a few members are now the happy owners of their own hand made instrument. A few not so.
That's me with Henry (dog) and guitar. the other significant other is taking the photo.
For those who have seen this before I apologize, I'm still trying to get my head around this whole process of creating a page.
