Thanks Dennis! Keep up the great work!
“Instrepreneur”…Love it.
Man, to think I hand shared a state with this genius and am just now finding him.
I was really impressed with your “Homemade hang-drum-sounding string instrument”. Could you send me the plans for it or at least tell me more about how to make it?
Thanks.
Would you also consider sending me information on the propane tank drum?
