David McIlloney

 

David McIlloney (43) has had several jobs in several places over the years, including a sizable stint as a social worker. He has been living in Edinburgh for the past nine years and for the past 5 years he has been running his own business demonstrating musical instruments in various educational forums.

 

He has been interested in woodworking for the past four years or so. We like to think it was sparked after he happened to accompany a friend to one of our open days. While he laughs this off as a coincidence, we are just happy that we made enough of an impression that he decided to come back to study!

 

He is currently making a mandolin and would love to start up his own business specialising in instrument making.
