I have been a hobby guitar builder since 1997. I wanted a good classical guitar and couldn’t believe how much they cost. I was looking at the time at Eric Salin’s guitars. Eric makes primo guitars don’t get me wrong. Eric’s guitars some of the most beautiful guitars I’ve ever played. I just wasn’t educated yet as to how much work it is to build a guitar nor how much materials cost.

Now I am teaching guitar building at Dakota Adventist Academy. I will be building a guitar with each class that I teach. They will be for sale. A percentage will go back into the guitar building program.

I am using all my tools and have collected a few more for the class.


I am currently rebuilding this site and trying to decide the best method of publishing. Be patient. Feedback is welcome send me an email.

Why I Like Wood

God Made the Wood. It can’t be more beautiful.
Just like sin it is the imperfections in the growth of a tree that make the wood grain beautiful.
That’s how God is. He takes sinful lives and makes them beautiful.
