Awesome story! I was hoping that the original article would have included some of your uncle's sketches of the parts he was replacing. Would you happen to have any drawings of his you could share? He sounds like a tremendously talented individual.

I don't unfortunately. I only got to see him in action when he was doing building maintenance and when installing some hardwood flooring and never thought I'd need to hold onto a sketch.

He's extremely old school (i.e. a cassette tape answering machine) so I wouldn't be able to get a sample in any timely manner.

But he's still with us! :-). You could please start documenting him? Ask him if you can record your conversations or something? :)

Since he was a draftsman I bet they'd look something like this: http://www.ardigitech.com/images/mech2.jpg. No point in making them look like actual photos, with shading, when you could just take an actual photograph instead.
