The College of Engineering invites the George Fox community to the first MakeXplorations maker talk.

Please join the engineers-craftsmen of Portland Guitar on Wednesday, Nov. 20, from 6 to 7 p.m. in the Engineering Maker Hub for a night of guitars, science and art. Acoustic quirks abound as a guitar’s sound is deconstructed and rebuilt.

The presentation will be led by Jay Dickinson, who holds a master’s degree in mechanical engineering, more than 25 years’ experience in corporate physics and engineering positions, plus a lifetime of woodworking and artistic craftsmanship used to make guitars under the name Portland Guitar. Multiple examples of his work will be present for enjoyment after the presentation.
