My venture into guitar making started in 1993 when i became an apprentice wood machinist at woykas timber yard in Glasgow. It quickly became apparent that i did not enjoy working with machine tools but loved wood so i decided to learn to use traditional hand tools and techniques. so i attended Anniesland College in Glasgow in 1998 to 2000. i then continued to London guildhall university from 2000 to 2002. i then built my own home workshop and have been bulding and repairing string instruments ever since.
