My Interests

I enjoy engineering and mechanical creations. I have always been fascinated with trades, traditions and cultures. One of the traditions i have found fascinating is luthier. A luthier is a string instrument builder and repair person. I have studied this field by reading books, watching videos. I found some videos from Spain that were made several years ago. It made things a lot easier to understand since i can see what work is being done and not trying to imagine something new as i read a book.

It took 2 years and long hours of research to understand the Spanish guitar enough for me to jump in and start building one. Having done multiple woodworking projects in the past has allowed me to collect various tools. When i shifted my focus i ended up not needing very many tools to get started. This is going to be my story learning guitars.
