Luthier, retired machinist, conversationalist, Korean war vet. The preceding in no particular order!

I started building autoharps in 1985, when Lois (my wife) decided she had to have a diatonic 'harp. I've built and experimented with 'harps ever since. Currently, I am working on 'harp number 190.

I am retired from a lifetime career as a machinist, and spend most of my time in my shop making autoharps, chord bars, spinning wheels, horseless carriages, and whatever else takes my fancy.
