The Workshop
I have recently completed an extension of the Workshop, I removed approx 40 tons of clay (by hand) & extended the Workshop by about 1/3.
As you walk through the roller door this is the left hand side, the right hand side is the Showroom.

This is the main workbench I can reach most of the tools & small parts I need without getting off the stool.

The booking in desk

The waiting room for sick instruments

My latest two tools/toys a mini mill & a mini metal lathe (the timber lathe is at the other end of the workshop.)

I have an extensive supply of banjo bits here are some

More parts & specialty tools.

The plastic boxes on top of the shelf contain a huge supply of Banjo/Guitar & Mandolin parts.
​
There is also a reference library.
​
The Ukulele Guru decal was on the side of the motorhome when I was running ukulele workshops in Qld, NSW, & the ACT. (Guru means teacher)

The electroplating area is where I do Copper & Nickle plating, I can also remove rust using electrolysis.
​
I will be doing Gold plating in the near future.

The Spray Booth

I asked my mate John Elleson (a guitar Luthier) to make me a double sided bench, this side is for sanding

And this side is for Staining & Colouring, inc faux wood grain finishes.​

I developed a method of doing neck re-sets using steam instead of having to remove the neck, It's gaining wide spread popularity.
​
The beer fridge is in the background.
​
This workbench also doubles as my wife's spa (she's not happy!).

The storeroom is for banjo cases & for the better quality instruments I leave in the case.

These are some of the vintage cases I have in stock.

This is where dead & dying F hole guitars go to die (I may get around the fixing them one day)

The back of the workshop part of the area I excavated.

My quality control manager checking the wood stack for creepy crawlies (Her name is Missie)


The very professional photographic studio used to photograph instruments to sell LOL.
​
The "nook" for working on Electric guitars.

The Showroom & Veg out area, also used for Jam sessions.
​
Note the coffee table with the built-in drink holder.

This is the end of the Workshop tour please exit through the gift shop.
