PRINCIPLES I LIVE BY
If I don't know something, I go find out.
It is never too late to do the right thing first.
A promise are two notes I like to play.
The first one where a promise is made,
and the second when the promise is kept.
Strangers are just friends I have not met yet.
Check Out Tech Projects Page!
I like having a tech project to work on. Check out what I choose to do for fun. :)
CNC Wood Working
A few years back I followed a plan and built a CNC router, an interface, software license and started playing around. Nowadays, I have built up the skills in Autocad, Illustrator. It is painfully slow and I would buy a faster model but have decided that my next piece of equipment will be the new Prusa mini MK4 3D printer.
Antiques
Nothing says quality like 18th, 19th, and early 20th-century furniture. In my home, you will find them in use, and in excellent condition, and many I refinished or restored.
Lamp Restoration
After finishing my dining room remodeling, I decided to install an antique chandelier. I noticed it was "cheaper" to restore one. That led to me going a little crazy, re-wiring and restoring a handful of chandeliers and setting up an Etsy store.
Photography
Whether i am just walking around or traveling, I like to snap photos along the way.
