25.01.2022 March gathering cancelled. Next event June 21st as below.

25.01.2022 Upcycling like a boss

25.01.2022 Rosette making: Keeping busy at home putting together inlay sets (embellishment themes) that can be used to personalise the instrument with an aesthetic touch. Not much interesting happening on the coloured pencil traveller tip at the moment. Making more tiles and starting to run tests for rosette inlays and other construction issues like soundboard thickness. . .... . . . . . . . . @williamhancockguitars www.instagram.com/williamhancockguitars www.williamhancockguitars.com . #guitarmaking #guitarbuilding #luthiers #lutherie #guitars #woodwork #classicalguitars #nylonstringedguitars #littleguitarsforlittlepeople #toddlerguitar #topshelftraveller #midrangetraveller #studentmodeltraveller #classicalguitarmaking #australiantonewood #williamhancockguitars #upcycling #repurposed #whatsonyourbench #bespokeguitars #customguitars #artguitars #madeinmelbourne #smallbusinessmelbourne #madeinaustralia #australianmade #rulerguitar #studymate #colouredpencilguitar #colouredpencilsculptures @officeworks @v.s.b.c @delwp_vic @senatormichaeliacash

25.01.2022 Headstock inlay on the guitar made out of old pianos. The original emblem was cut out of the inside of the lid of the piano amd then sectioned up and rearranged for the headstock template. Finished in epoxy resin. #pianoguitar #headstock #inlay #guitar #guitarsofinstagram #australia #bespoke #guitars #classicalguitar

15.01.2022 Great news for the piano guys.

15.01.2022 Some amazing work going onto the guitars! Wow.

15.01.2022 A South Sudanese plucked-stringed instrument. Harp? Lyre? Anyone got some taxonomy for the Thom classification? https://www.theguardian.com//how-a-south-sudanese-supersta

14.01.2022 That’s pretty cool

14.01.2022 Coloured Pencil Guitar: Starting to get the back and the sides married up. Fits nicely. Now to have a bit more of a look at the neck blank and how that sits in the neck joint with the body. Once that’s sorted it’s time to rough out the neck before starting the assembly. #colouredpencilguitar #colouredpencils #colouredpencilsculpture #conceptguitars #functionalartwork . .... . . . . . . @williamhancockguitars www.instagram.com/williamhancockguitars www.williamhancockguitars.com #williamhancockguitars #buyaussienow #golocalfirst #guitarmaking #guitarbuilding #luthiers #lutherie #guitars #music #woodwork #nylonstringedguitars #littleguitarsforlittlepeople #toddlerguitar #topshelftraveller #upcycling #repurposed #whatsonyourbench #bespokeguitars #customguitars #artguitars #madeinmelbourne #smallbusinessmelbourne #melbournemade #rulerguitar #studymate @officeworks See more

12.01.2022 Parlour Steel String: Working methodically through the bracing system. No rush. Getting a nice camber through the belly and a tight, flat neck region.

12.01.2022 Wonder whose taking over

11.01.2022 Found an old clip, probably from about the second Melbourne lockdown, of @kathleen.halloran.music and an old dreadnought. Happy lockdown y’all. Enjoy the break I reckon. #melbourne #lockdown #kathleenhalloran #dreadnought #bespokeguitars @therealkateceberano

08.01.2022 This is definitely one of the droids I’m looking for.

08.01.2022 Quite a collection of Matons at the Powerhouse in Sydney.

08.01.2022 Piano Guitar: The finish was a very light hand rubbed oil call Danish oil, scoured back with fine steel wool in between coats. On some timbers this gives marked... colour changes and deep lustre. These timbers are not really revered for their aesthetics, due to being stuffed into the guts of a piano. There wasnt really much of a colour change or lustre developed. Stringing up and fitting the hardware is always satisfying. Heres a few shots of the finishing and the fit out combined. Next post will be the last. A little video of how it sounds. . . . . . . . . . @williamhancockguitars www.instagram.com/williamhancockguitars www.williamhancockguitars.com . #guitarmaking #guitarbuilding #luthiers #lutherie #guitars #music #woodwork #classicalguitars #nylonstringedguitars #littleguitarsforlittlepeople #toddlerguitar #topshelftraveller #midrangetraveller #studentmodeltraveller #classicalguitarmaking #guitarstrings #australiantonewood #tonewood #williamhancockguitars #luthierslounge #beattopia #guitarlove #upcycling #repurposed #strings #whatsonyourbench #pianoguitar See more

07.01.2022 Studymate Traveller Guitar. First thing to do for the soundboard is trim it up, then rout the rosette channel followed by the soundhole. This timber is soft so Ive kept it a bit thicker than I would normally go. Probably in the low 2mm range around 2.3 or so. Not sure what the timber is but already its sounding sweet with the tap tone. We use the tap tone to tune the soundboard, constantly checking the tap tone as a reference point as we put on the braces and thin them ...down. Of course thats if your not using a mass spectrometer. These are science gadgets that give a profile of the different wavelengths that are found in the sound as we tap the soundboard. . . . @williamhancockguitars www.instagram.com/williamhancockguitars www.williamhancockguitars.com . #guitarmaking #guitarbuilding #luthiers #lutherie #guitars #music #woodwork #classicalguitars #nylonstringedguitars #littleguitarsforlittlepeople #toddlerguitar #topshelftraveller #midrangetraveller #studentmodeltraveller #classicalguitarmaking #guitarstrings #australiantonewood #tonewood #williamhancockguitars #luthierslounge #beattopia #guitarlove #upcycling #repurposed #strings #whatsonyourbench #rulerguitar #studymate @officeworks See more

05.01.2022 #parloursteelstring Nice stiff, light Spruce #piceaabies soundboard. Starting to get a feeling for the #taptone of the top. Moving nicely at around or just under 2mm thick. Will take the edges of the lower bout down a bit thinner. . . .... . . . . . . . . . @williamhancockguitars www.instagram.com/williamhancockguitars www.williamhancockguitars.com #williamhancockguitars #buyaussienow #golocalfirst #guitarmaking #guitarbuilding #luthiers #lutherie #guitars #music #woodwork #guitarstrings #australiantonewood #upcycling #repurposed #strings #whatsonyourbench #bespokeguitars #customguitars #artguitars #madeinmelbourne #smallbusinessmelbourne #madeinaustralia #australianmade @edshastings #edshastings @smallbusinessmelbourne @smallbusinessvictoria @melbournesmallbusiness @buyaussienow @golocalfirst See more

05.01.2022 One of the monochords under construction. There are two of these currently being built. Essentially these monochords are a ‘soundbox’ with a Blackwood back (acacia melanoxylon) and a Huon pine (Lagerostrobos franklinii) ‘soundboard’ or ‘top’. These particular instruments measure 800mm x 400 x 100 and will be strung with up to 40 strings, most of which will be tuned to the same note. These instruments are used as ‘drones’ similar in application to the Indian Tanpura, in chanting, Kirtan, sound healing and meditations. #monochords #blackwood #huonpine #soundhealing #meditation #chanting #kirtan #soundbath

02.01.2022 Parlour Steel String: Fretting up. Taking it slow. Loving the blue tape with the yellow Huon pine and Redgum. Then onto the bridge before lacquer goes on. #parlourguitar #steelstring #steelstringedguitar #guitar #guitarmaking #huonpine #redgum #repurposed #edshastings #mahogany #repurposedtimber #upcycling #woodwork #wood #music #art #functionalartworks #bespoke #bespokeguitars

02.01.2022 Master tune on a master guitar

02.01.2022 Studymate Traveller Guitar, made out of rulers! @sam_buckley_music test piloting the new little one through some patterns; thanks to Buckleys Blues! Settling in nicely. Good response in the top surprisingly. Few minor teething issues as she settles in. And stowes nicely in the overhead locker on the planes. Not that we will probably be flying much soon but anyway, hope all you peeps out there are taking care of each other, and dont forget to phone a friend and check in. C...oming soon thanks to @officeworks The Coloured Pencil Guitar! . . . . . . . . . . . . . @williamhancockguitars www.instagram.com/williamhancockguitars www.williamhancockguitars.com . #guitarmaking #guitarbuilding #luthiers #lutherie #guitars #music #woodwork #classicalguitars #nylonstringedguitars #littleguitarsforlittlepeople #toddlerguitar #topshelftraveller #classicalguitarmaking #australiantonewood #williamhancockguitars #luthierslounge #guitarlove #upcycling #repurposed #strings #whatsonyourbench #bespokeguitars #customguitars #artguitars #madeinmelbourne #smallbusinessmelbourne #madeinaustralia #australianmade #rulerguitar #studymate @officeworks @delwp_vic @v.s.b.c @senatormichaeliacash
