Er ist von Beruf Porzellan-(Puppenkopf-)Maler und beschäftigt sich aus Liebhaberei mit dem Geigenmachen, das er autodidaktisch erlernt hat. Er verwendet primitive Werkzeuge (Taschenmesser, Raspel etc.) und benutzt als Lack braune Politur. Seine ersten Geigen waren aus gewöhnlichem Holz (Tannen und Buchen) und zu dünn, später machte er Fortschritte, machte Geigen, die recht gut aussahen und einen weichen Ton hatten.
