Welcome to my YouTube channel where you can expect to see me attempting to learn the ways of making guitars, sometimes building furniture projects or other woodworking and luthery / luthiery endevours.
I love doing this and sharing my own journey in the hope that you'll be entertained with me and perhaps learn something along the way. Or perhaps you can enjoy telling me everything I'm doing wrong :)
Future projects will include more guitar building, including me imagining signature guitars for artists that don't have them and checking out some of the kit guitars availale.
