Telecaster

Luthiery

I have a love of anything with strings, and building them is my favorite hobby! Pictured is a mint green Telecaster clone I made from scratch, but I also enjoy weird folk instruments and other more experimental projects.

Canoe

Canoe

I spent a year of evenings out in my garage, milling cedar strips, and assembling them into this canoe. It features a lightweight fiberglass and epoxy coating, a walnut yoke, and buoyancy bulkheads.

CNC

Robotics

After many iterations, and significant help from friends, I have a custom built CNC that is able to mill 3D parts out of wood. This also got me into 3D modelling with Fusion 360.

Ukulele

Acoustic Luthiery

Acoustic instruments are also exciting to build as they have so many variables to play with. This ukulele featured offset "X" crossbracing and unusual sound holes for a unique look.
