I am an optical/mechanical engineer living in central Florida with my wonderful wife, two bunnies, and a pile of bees. I have many hobbies and like to engage in crafts that get me doing things outside of work. I created this blog to help document all my various projects that normally get scattered across the internet. This isn’t as much of a “How To” blog as it is for me to keep track of where I am and where I have come from in my skills. My hobbies include:
- Cooking
- Woodworking
- Home Renovations
- Armor Smithing
- CNC milling
- Other crafty things that look fun and interesting
I like being creative, trying new things, and sharing my discoveries. Below are a few quotes that really mean a lot to me and are words I try to live by.
"Take chances, make mistakes, get messy!" - Ms. Frizzle "Improvise, Adapt and Overcome" - Unofficial Marine Motto "Always be prepared" - Boy Scout Motto "Love people. Cook them good food." - Unknown. I like good vs. tasty "We aren't lost, we are on an adventure!" - Chase

Love your site. The section on inlay was especially helpful to me. And, you gotta love a man who sports a kilt.
