THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF AN AUSTRALIAN AMATEUR LUTHIER


"He who works with his hands is a labourer.

He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman.

He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist."

My First Success, November, 2009





This my first success as an amateur luthier.  I count it as a success because I gave it to my niece as a birthday present, and she loved it. I am looking forward to her thanking me in her speech when she wins her first ARIA award.
