"Man cannot live by guitar making alone"
Here's some things I've derived lots of personal satisfaction from
building
Mandolin:
I made this mandolin for myself in 1979. It's a good one, not
a great one, and it's served well as an all-round mando rather
than strictly bluegrass. |
 |
 |
Noyce Guitar Amp:
We built about twenty of these in the early '80s before Mesa
Boogies etc. were fully developed.
I really just wanted an amp that demonstrated my guitars
well.
It's a two channel 130 Watt unit using four 6L6 tubes with
12AX7 preamp tubes and an EV speaker.

Button Accordion:
Made for myself in the late '90s. I got on the web and sourced
the best reeds possible from Castelfidardo Italy and the best
good advice from Peter
Hyde, the Adelaide based accordion builder.
My NC Machine was
marvellous for all the jigging, reed blocks and hole layouts
etc.

 |
Kipawa Canoe:
Again, I got on the world wide web and sourced the plans from
Martin
Step in Canada.
It's a brilliant tripping/fun canoe built in Cedar Strips
with fibre-glass/epoxy sheathing both sides.
The web has changed our lives so much and without hardly
noticing it.
|
|
Pool Table:
This was made as a work table/table tennis table/pool table.
I built it and my son Kurtis did the finish job as one of
his first apprenticeship jobs around 1990.

|
 |
Concert Marimba:
This is a rosewood concert marimba I built a few years ago.
