About Us
 
I'm a Dentist from Iowa.  I have many hobbies.  Listed below are some fo those and accompany photos.  My family consist of my wife and four kids.  Two of the kids are Seniors in high school, one is a manager in the food service business and one is a high school teacher.
 
Some of my other interest are;

 


My sawmill:

 

      

 

This is a homemade sawmill with a 12.5 house power electric motor.  I've only cut about 60,000 board feet of wood on it, but it has done well so far.

 

Violin making: 

 

 I've made 6 violins and I am in the process of making some mandolins.  

 

   These are two of the violins I've made.

 

  Wood working:

 

These are some of the cabinets I've made.

 

 

 

Some of  my cars:

 

One of my old vehicles, 1946 International.

 

 

The December 2006 National in Des Moines.  I'm at the left, burgany shirt, looking at a pair of fantails I bought at the Junior auction.
