Introducing myself
Hi I'd like to introduce myself and also to say thank you to the fantastic people that contribute on this forum. You have helped me enormously. I have been lurking around here for years but never posted anything before.
I first became interested in instrument making 6 years ago and made a few rather experimental banjos, I had no idea what I was doing and none of them played very well or looked very good but I was none the less hooked. So I found somewhere I could study instrument making (Glasgow, Scotland) and moved there, after 4 year at college learning as much as I could from the people there I have now in the last year set up my own workshop which I share with a guitar maker.
While in college I made a couple of guitars and Irish bouzoukis, but for the last 3 years I have mostly been concentrating on carved top mandolins. I have just finished my first F5, this was a huge challenge for me. And again I am so grateful that this place exists and I had somewhere to look for answers to my many questions!
I'll share some photo with you all of the F5 and a picture of my first banjo (not me in the photo)!
