Testimonials"Walking in Stan's Music Factory is like entering Aladdin’s cave and suddenly all wishes are granted... it is packed with all things timber. As a fellow lover of rare and beautiful woods, what caught my eye like a glorious rainbow was the wide varieties of timber used to craft his vast range of wondrous musical instruments. There 3, 4 and 6 string masterpieces, some even utilizing vintage car hubcaps. This guy has a unique imagination! My wife Ana Cristina and I loved meeting "Big" Stan and visiting his studio. His instruments look great, but most importantly, they sound as good as they look.” John Carter Cash
“Hi, I’m Zenny Johnston and I️ am 8 years old. I️ have been making things from wood since I️ was 5 years old. I️ was at Woodfest and made 2 pairs of clap sticks and used a Cross cut saw with Stan. I hung with Stan for the whole day. I️ thought Stan’s display was fabulous and the Woodfest was great.” Zenny Johnston Stan is a big man with a big personality and even bigger heart. I first met him many years ago at one of the national wood shows and was impressed not only by his vast knowledge of bush and woodcraft, but his ability to engage and educate an audience through humor, music and wonder. I never miss an opportunity to accompany him on my ukulele while he dazzles people with instruments fashioned before their very eyes. His deep love of wood and music is embodied in every instrument and reaches its pinnacle with his finest ukuleles and guitars.

"In all the years of attending the Melbourne Working With Wood Show, one thing kept me coming back. Seeing Stan demonstrate his incredible bush skills, whilst engaging with kids and adults alike, was a unique experience.
Consummate entertainer and master craftsman, Stan is one in a million." Glen Rundell Windsor Chair Maker & Co-Founder - The Lost Trades Fair We have seen Stan perform at many woodworking shows, and at his boutique woodwork shop in Billinudgel. He is one of the most entertaining woodworkers you could come across. His unique style and great sense of humor delights fans of all ages. If you really want to get entertained, just ask him about the custom guitars he builds and ask him to play for you. Not only is he a great ringmaster at shows, he is a very ta lented musician as well. His great saw race, in which he gets customers to use an old fashioned 2 man cross cut saw has to be seen – especially if you have kids. They can even become part of the show. When you see him at a show you will not only laugh, but get an education as well – Stan is one of the few vaults of knowledge of the old style woodworking techniques. He is a blast to watch and if you are lucky you can be part of the show as well – look for him at the woodworking show circuit. Bruce Butt Director Maple Leaf Nominees Pty. Ltd.

This magnificent guitar was built by the great Stan Ceglinski. Its got a hubcap, a microphone inside, blend control the body is made of Australian Cedar and it sounds great! - Azo Bell - Hubcap Guitars |
I first saw Stan at a Working with Wood exhibition in Brisbane, I was immediately drawn to his stand by his exuberance and love for life. A couple of years later when we were putting together our first Wood n Music festival I thought Stan would be a good fit as one of our entertainers and exhibitors, we were not let down, Stan is a great showman, he draws people into the stories he tells while working with the wood, people of all ages love to watch and chat with Stan, I would recommend him as a musician, showman and dedicated artist to his trade, you will not be let down with Stan, he gives value for money and then some more.
