This will come as no surprise. Seattle has a ton of hills. I love bicycling, but I often find it impractical because of the large hill I live atop. To solve this I have started with the raw components of a bicycle, building it from scratch with the help of the wonderful people at my local Bike Shack. Now that the bike is complete it’s time to add a motor!

In early 2018 the NE Seattle Tool Library accepted me as a member of their steering committee, just in time for the big move to their new home to heat up. Though I have been helping anywhere I can, as a woodworker I have taken a particular fondness to the new shop being built. I hope to continue to increase my involvement with the tool library and help the makerspace portion grow.

See my introduction post to see what this is all about.

After a bout of RSI I decided to look for a hobby which did not involve spending great amounts of time on a computer. In my home-shop I make tools, furniture, gifts, and home projects.
