Top plate video
Here’s the second instalment of my archtop mandolin videos. In this part you’ll see all the work on the top plate; carving
the shape, cutting the sound holes and fitting the tone bars.
Hi, I make mostly mandolins and guitars, entirely by myself and by hand. Although I’m based in the Norfolk Fens, my instruments can be found all over the world. I made my first guitar when I was 14 and during the 1970s studied luthiery at the prestigious London College of Furniture. I’ve been making them ever since!
