Hello from Canberra

Post by graham mcdonald » Fri Oct 26, 2007 9:25 am

Hello folks

Thought I should introduce myself to all my fellow expensive sawdust makers. I have been building bouzoukis and mandolin (and the occassional guitar) for around 25 years, though it is a weekend activity at the moment as I save up to be able to retire and go back to it full time. I am a big fan of Australian timbers and I am always happy to try out something new and different.

cheers

Hi again Graham and thanks for making it here. Your site and background is indeed impressive.

I just used the string tension calculator on your site and find it very helpful. Those instruments of yours are absolutley awesome.

Welcome to the forum !

Hi Graham, welcome!

We "have met" briefly over on the Mandolin Cafe, where I have enjoyed reading your posts for a long time. I am another fan of your work, and your online string calculator is the best one I have found. Looking forward to your input here as well!
