Funny you should ask. It seems I’ve been dis-assembling and re-assembling, building and re-building, and just fixing stuff since I was a kid. When I was 11 years old, I took several 4-H classes on electricity. Years later, I would wire-up my own workshop in the basement of my parents home. In junior college, I needed one hour credit to finish out my degree so I signed up for a carburetors class. I can’t recall how many I’ve rebuilt since. Our first house we bought was built quickly without regard to quality. So I spent the next 20 years learning the fine art of home repair. I love old cars and now it’s almost impossible to find any old-school shops to do the work. Everyone has retired.
Now there’s stuff I can’t do–a lot of stuff. I don’t mind paying for that. But If I think I can save a few dollars, improve how something works, of just consider it a challenge, then I’ll give it a shot.
This site will attempt to document such projects. The boat and car sites as well as the newer workshop site will still cover those projects and there might be some cross over. It may take a while to figure out what’s what.
What I’ll try NOT to post are projects like “How to hang a door” or “Fix a screen”. There are a thousand Youtube channels and a million how-to websites that have done just that. I’ll stay in my lane for more unusual projects while keeping all my fingers and toes.
