I am an amateur luthier from West Oxfordshire and I have been teaching myself to build and repair guitars over the last few years after stumbling across Ben's Clarity series on youtube. I attempted my first build in March 2018, became hooked on guitar building and have since completed 14 guitars with the help of youtube, the ProjectGuitar community and a 2 day stint at Crimson.

I am building a carved top, semi hollow double cut with f-hole and pot recesses from quilted maple, walnut and ebony using gouges, scrapers etc and if I have time, I'll do a gloss lacquer finish.
