In the Shop
Process, tools, experiments, and the work behind the work.
Work in Motion
A look at what’s happening in the shop right now.
This gallery is still taking shape. With 25 years of instruments and thousands of photos to sort through, new images will continue to appear as the archive is curated.
The Double X
he double‑X, the scalloped main brace, the delicate symmetrical tone‑bar X, and the carbon‑laminated upper face brace — a snapshot of the architecture that shapes the voice.
Design in Practice
Always refining. Always improving. Always learning from the work itself.
Woods and Materials
The curated sets and components that define the voice of the instruments.
Tools, Machines & Handwork
Precision where it helps. Hand skills where they matter.
My shop uses a mix of precision machines and refined hand skills. The CNC router and laser handle the work that benefits from accuracy and repeatability, while carving, voicing, shaping, and final fit‑and‑finish all happen by hand. I’ve also built many of my own jigs and fixtures over the years. This section highlights the tools — both digital and traditional — that support the work.
