Hi everyone! Over the past two years, I’ve been studying and had to put my lutherie workshop on hold. Now, I’m excited to share that I’ve earned a new title as a technician specializing in mechanical manufacturing with numerical control. I’m very happy about this achievement.
I’m back in the workshop now, catching up on a lot of work. Here are some photographs of a guitar I made for a discerning customer.

Hi Pali Thanks for posting. Congratulations on your new qualification. Another to add to your list of skills: shoemaker, luthier of violins, cellos and guitars, orthopaedics etc.. (as you previously shared in thread linked below).
It is inspiring to see you following and nurturing your talent.
Thank you very much. It has indeed been very tough, and I really missed my workshop. The hardest part was probably the internships that had to be done in manufacturing companies to put into practice everything you study. These internships are unpaid, and that's tough—three months of working for free, without earning anything at all. The most pleasant part is that, at my age (58), I have received two job offers from companies in the sector. I’m sharing a link to live streams I’m doing on shellac construction and varnishing, and a photo of me working on a 4-meter CNC lathe. Best regards.
