Hacking and Craftsmanship
Some of my skills are well honed, others not so much. These pages will highlight some of the more interesting projects I have done.
I hope to pass a reasonable set of my skills on to my descendants; maybe these pages will help!

Testimonials
“He is an OK electrician. I have not seen him get shocked, but on several occasions I had to stop him from making live connections. One time he did almost drill into an electrical conduit when installing my TV wall mount with cables run through the wall!”
“Computer building is a speciality. He helped me select my computer, but of course I had to replace several components to make it decent for gaming.”
“He has helped me with my tractor on several occasions. I am not sure why he keeps insisting the tractor cannot run on water as fuel - it has both oxygen and hydrogen. When he is not around, I keep adding water to my gasoline cans just to see if sometime it will work.”
“He taught me how to repair my toilet over the phone. He failed to warn me that my chest might get wedged as I tried to disconnect the plumbing lines. Fortunately I was able to free myself from my predicament without calling the fire department. ”
