Haven't found what you're looking for yet? Don't let that stop you from contacting me. Let me know exactly what you need. Maybe I can help. From out of production parts for your restoration project to modifying a toy to make it 'funner', or just repairing something that is out of warranty, let me know what I can do for you. Nothing too big, nothing too small. If I can't do it, I'll tell you. What do you have to lose? Below are a few of the  'other' projects I've done.

  • Sax

    Sax (5)

    I recently did a tenor saxaphone restoration. I got the sax from ebay for $15. I quickly realized why. I think the previous owner dropped it down a flight of stairs, fell down the stairs himself, and then landed on it. It was bend, dented, mangled and a few pieces were missing. I completely took the thing apart, removed the dents (as much as possible), applied new laquer, new pads, felt, cork, springs, and a few homemade parts. I actually got it playable. Since this is an old instrument, I had no luck finding replacement parts. I had to make them. These pics show two of the keys I had to make.

    turbine engine (10)

    Several years ago I decided to build a turbine engine. I didn't have any plans on using it for anything. I just wanted to see if I could. Sometimes that's all the reason you need. I decided on the Kurt Schreckling FD3/64. During construction, I developed a few tips and tricks. If you are in the process of building your own and have any questions, feel free to ask. If you want me to build you one, No. Well, If you really want me to, maybe. Just be aware though, you would be much better off, money and performance wise, if you just buy a factory engine. Enjoy the pics though. And no, it's not for sale. Well maybe, but I want way too much for it.
