John Schofield has made 160 mandolins and two major audiokinetic sculptures (a la George Rhoads). He has made a lot of tools like a pantograph and fret saw and f-hole machine along with wood stoves and farm tools. He has 164 acres of land with a cabin and a lake and a pond, on a famous trout stream, and two caves… and someday he’d like to make a few more instruments. He has a backhoe and a sawmill and can stay busy every day. Plays the fiddle and the banjo in a decent bluegrass band and has even tried performing with his wife. He hunts deer but does not always find them, and fishes badly too. He works in sewage but that made his kids mad when he’d say that… they prefer the term environmental engineer. (Penn State 1968-75)
