Here you will find snippets from the workshop, from the past or present. They are a collection of snapshots taken during construction of different guitars.

I’m not going to lie, this is a proud moment for me. Having incredible guitar players like @reentko_dirks and Thomas Fellow play my guitars is incredibly rewarding. They have a new album coming out with the European Guitar quartet, and have just released their first single, which is a Frank Zappa cover. I think it’s brilliant, maybe you do too?
I will put a link to the video in my bio.

![Roughing out the heel. When I build with a set neck, instead of a Spanish heel, I like to get close to the final shape of the heel, so that I can see what the neck joint will look like. This will look alright, I think.

![It must’ve been more than 10 years since I last did a guitar with rosewood bindings on rosewood back and sides. Lately I’ve always gone for more contrast in the bindings. Often using either ebony or wengé.
But I must say, I really like this look! The fact that the bindings are off cuts of the sides, which makes for a perfect colour match, definitely helps too!
