Dan Bowman, who lost his sight at age 12, became a piano tuner and also crafts furniture.

"A Good Blinder" is a documentary about 75-year-old Dan Bowman of Harrisonburg, who lost his sight at age 12, became a piano tuner and crafts fine furniture using power tools and precision instruments. His creations have each raised as much as $3,000 for the annual Mennonite Relief Sale. He still has all 10 fingers, a lively wit and a theologically trained mind that makes for profound reflection.
