This is a collection of some of my interests and things I do in my shop. I enjoy making old things useful again. My resoration projects include antique tube radios, 100 year old desk fans, and shop equipment. Some of the equipment stays with me and others find a new home when a replacement comes along. My background is diverse and includes avionics, electronics, network engineering, hot rods, gas and MIG welding, machine shop, model steam engines and woodwork. After finding underpriced and sometimes broken items I like to restore them and pass them along to good homes.
