Sorry if you guys already discussed this earlier I've been gone for awhile.

Peter's wife didn't say how he passed away.

He sure did built very nice cabinets.

Sorry to hear that. I was trading e-mails with him earlier this year on a a project. I don't recall seeing any posts about him before yours.

I reached out to get another cab made a month or so ago and heard he was not taking orders due to a medical event. Sucks. RIP. He did make great cabs and was true pro to me every time.
Early brewers were primarily women, mostly because it was deemed a woman's job. Mesopotamian men, of some 3,800 years ago, were obviously complete assclowns and had yet to realize the pleasure of brewing beer.

I worked very closely with Peter for a few years. Helped him move into the shop next to mine. He was a fun guy and my main cab builder for years. Great guy with a ton of skills. He had a jig to hold tension on a guitar neck while refretting. The guitar her did for me is among my best playing...

Such a loss. Cancer.

Very sad to hear this! He was the best cab builder I worked with by a good margin. His attention to detail was unsurpassed. His repro cabs were identical to the originals.
RIP, Peter.

Very sad news and a huge loss for our community. I bought cabs from Peter for fifteen years. Best builder I have found and now don't know I'd go to settle for a distant second best.

RIP Peter.
