A note from Peter:

"Hello all. In reviewing the edited, final cut of the interview " A life at the anvil", I found an omission that must be corrected.
In the haste to the video out, I or he didn't include mention or the most important person in my life my wife Annie. Without her love, wisdom, input, support and trust, I would not be where I am today.
We have been together for 22 years and will be celebrating 20 years of marriage on April 8th, 2026. Annie has helped me grow in more ways than you can imagine. Our trust in each other, love for each other, and our mutual respect is a rare relationship to have these days. It is important for me to relay to you how vital and important it is to have a life partner who cares about every aspect of your life, and works hard to fulfill your mutual and individual dreams. It is also very important to have this kind of relationship when you are an artist/craftsman persuing a career."
