              Upon his return he established a workshop specialing in the repair, restoration and construction of guitars. In 1981 he established a guitar making school that operated until 1983. Following this he wrote A Guitar Maker's Manual which is still published by the Hal Leonard Publishing Corp.in the USA. In addition he has contributed articles to American Luthierie, Frets ,Sonics and Jamm magazines.
              The Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences in Sydney has purchased one his guitars for its permanent collection.
              The wealth of experience gained from repairing and restoring guitars by C.F.Martin, Taylor,Gibson, Ramirez, Smallman etc blended with his distinctive style produces guitars in which both tradition and innovation are evident.
