    We Lost a Master Finisher

    I just found out yesterday that Don Steinert passed away on the 16th of December. He held the title of master finisher. He was a mentor, and possibly the smartest man I knew. He retired from wood working and I bought all his machines and other wood work tools. He was most known for his custom woodwork in Rolls Royce and Bently automobiles. He is little known for refinishing rare antique pianos. He lived here in Southern Oregon, and people shiped him their pianos from around the world. He took with him knowledge that will be surely missed.

    Sorry to hear that, Rick. He sounded like an interesting man with one hell of a career.
