Some Cool Photos From Steve Gilchrist

[MojoMando]

I sent Steve some photos of one of his mandos that needs a little work and Steve reciprocated with some very cool photos of his own. I asked Steve if it was ok for me to post them here for you guys, and as you would guess, he said, "Happy to share them around." So here they are.

"From a couple of batches ago, all junior options of three common models. Model 1jr (A body w/oval hole), Model 3jr (A body w/F holes), Model 5jr (F body w/F holes) foreground."



"Model 4jr."



"My shop is set on 3 acres in the crater of Lake Gnotuk. Timber frame home soon to be erected."




Thanks for sharing Steve!

[Willie Poole]

if I lived that close to a lake like that I would fish all day and build at night if I were him....Come to think of it I do live that close to a lake like that, I just don`t build anything....Willie

I love the view out of the window! With my ADD I would wind up staring at something that gets my attention and get nothing done!

The 3jr in pic is at Gruhn's, traded on the 5jr. from the last batch. #659 is here w/me.

Steve has good pics! Here's a piece of the timber frame to his casa, would you expect any less from the man..

I'd like that gouge too. Wonder if it's home-made?

They are available from different violin supply houses. Here is one,

Wow what a nice view! I would love to see the rest of the shop.

This just appeared in the "Homehunt" section of the "Weekend Australian Magazine" (Oct 23-24 2010). It looks like for just a cool $750,000 of Oz kanga you too could be a neighbour of Steve. Maybe borrow a mandolin along with the usual cuppa' sugar??!!<G>
