America's 1st Guitarde

Mon Oct 10, 2016 1:12 pm

I stumpled upon this blog entry by Sim Ayers about Adam Miller's 'L'Art du Trait'-studies.

I am impressed!


Btw - Sim Ayer's blog is worth a read for everyone who is interested in Carpentry drawings. (I hope this "advertising" is ok?)

It's cool that he has studied that material and made some models. I hope he gets the chance to build one full scale some day.

Yes, a full scale Guitarde would be great, unfortunately such opportunities are rare today it seems.
I also believe that building it full scale would be a different kettle of fish, so to speak. I think of larger timbers and the joinery.

Nevertheless great work from Adam, especially because I do not believe there are many carpenters who are capable to do this kind of work. Model or full scale.

I was a little surprised he used the Billon book as a source. I considered it rather poor and sold it a while back. He did well to decipher that book's section on guitardes.
