About Me
- Name: Gary Nava, Luthier
- Location: United Kingdom
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!

Ouch! I can feel your pain.
Out of curiosity, how well does the dust collection work on that small bandsaw? Would like to have a dedicated bandsaw for cutting curves in 3" or less thick wood. Are you happy with the one you have?
The dust collection seems ok, but I find the saw a fiddley to set-up and adjust- preferred my old Delta one.
Cheers Gary
