Dana has asked me to let everyone know he is no longer at the shop in Palatine. He will now be working full-time out of his house in Des Plaines with a full setup of repair tools and a new 90-gallon ultrasonic cleaner. He has also launched a new website and you can check it out for more details/info:

We'll be working at the house this weekend to get things setup for next week. Again, he would like me to publicly thank everyone for their support and looks forward to seeing you all back at the house!

Ditto on great work. Had my Nirschl worked on by Dana and he did a great job. If you are in the Chicago area and need work on your axe, he is a go to guy.

Re: Dana Hofer
Another bump for Dana. He has done some miraculous work on a couple of my horns. He is my first call for repairs/custom work.
