STEVE REYNOLDS INSTRUMENTS

The purpose of this web site is to showcase my current work and to offer information about different building techniques that I have experience in. I spent my professional career, over 35 years, working as a computer programmer and analyst in wholesale distribution and hospital settings. Luckily I had time on the side to pursue other interests like rasing a family and building my home. From childhood I have always been interested in building things, and, I hold a strong respect for craftspeople and the high standards of hand work that mark the small boats of the last century, for example, and guitars now. I have built 3 geodesic domes, a few conventional houses, worked in the general carpentry trade, built around 100 guitars and about 15 small boats. I am now 65 years old. The dome I built when I was 21, shown above, is now 44 years old and one of the longest-standing domes I know of - somewhere in this site I hope to explain why mine out-lasted the others.
