My friend Scott Kip ( IG @ Scott_Kip) is a machinist, clock maker, woodworker, preservationist and mechanical genius who for the past 18 years has maintained the largest functioning pipe organ in the world, the Wanamaker organ inside of Macy's in Philadelphia. It is thanks to him and his colleagues that this organ continues to be played twice a day, 6 days a week since 1911.

The organ and the 28000 pipes occupy 5 floors in the mall and uses woodworking techiques normally used in furniture making to create this musical instrument the size of a house. Snippet of my current project at the end of the video. October 8,2023
