      He was multi-talented and very much self educated. Picking hobbies that challenged his knowledge or ability to learn.
      Jewelry was one of these. He would cast gold rings with a small centrifuge casting system, and use gold he melted from teeth given to him by his dentist. Mostly making a "turk's head" style ring. He also made some very special designed earrings that he fashioned from green wax first then into the final gold and ornamented earring.

If you ever needed to know how to do something, either he did it himself at some point or knew how to do it. Vast experience in a wide variety of things.
