~The Workbench~

Otis A. Tomas ~ Stringed Instruments

 

 

Here you can follow in the process of guitar making as I practice it. The photos below document some of the the day-by-day construction of a guitar as it takes shape on my workbench. As in the photo gallery, you can click on any of the pictures below to link to a larger image. Also, if you want a more detailed explanation of my working methods, you can download an essay in words and pictures that I kept as a journal documenting the construction of a guitar that I made in the Spring of 2006, by clicking on the image below:
