For more than two decades I have been working to preserve and restore historic machinery of all types, including steam locomotives and railway equipment, mills and machine tools, stationary steam and gas engines, scientific instruments, boats and more. I have done conservation and restoration work for major history museums such as the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum., The Edison Institute, and many others. I tr avel the world to consult and lecture on the preservation of industrial collections. |

I have been designing and building machinery all of my life. My inventions and machines are in use by more than four hundred customers in eight countries around the globe including such companies as Raytheon, Whirlpool, and many others. My machines have been used to produce everything from artistic ironwork and washers and dryers to jet aircraft parts and computer chips. |

I started forging iron at the age of sixteen, and I have produced a large body of architectural ironwork and furniture for customers such as The Biltmore Estate, E.J. Victor, and and many others. I have provided hand-forged ironwork for several films including Last of the Mohicans, The Broken Chain, and The Journey of August King. I even had extra roles as a soldier, colonial gent, and blacksmith in the films themselves. |

Among the most fun of all my various inventions, this little car exceeded everyone's expectations, and has become my favorite form of motorized transportation... I can make one for you, too! |
