Pipe shades, All Soul's Episcopal Church, San Diego, CA 		This photo was staged in Paul's shop by a photographer for a magazine article. In reality, the carvings don't go up until after all the pipes are installed.

The carvings were only clamped in. One fell and broke into a thousand pieces and had to be painstakingly glued back together.


Fritts pipe organ at All Soul's Episcopal Church, San Diego, CA 		This photo was also staged by the photographer. Notice the sawdust he spread around the table. Carving produces chips, not sawdust.
