Welcome

I like the word stuff.  It is utilitarian and appeals to my inherent laziness.

I make stuff.  I’ve been making stuff since I was 12. For a number of years I taught other people how to make stuff.  I’ve spent hours developing a means of saving a few seconds work when making something.  Pure laziness. For awhile now, i haven’t been making much stuff, but I’ve started again and decided it was time to blog about it.

Expect variety — useful things, frivolous things, renovation, workshop and tool/machine stuff.  Some of it may be interesting, some might even be useful.  My first posts will be about things already done, so may be missing a few bits of info or pictures.

In the interests of online decency, I will refrain from my usual vernacular du jour when working, There was a time when you could expect creative swearing when i was surprised by the inevitable unexpected outcome (good or bad).  I’m older now, although probably not wiser, but I don’t swear as much…

About the Website

As i write this it looks pretty severe.  I’m using the “design as you go” strategy here.  I will pretty it up over time, so expect to see changes for awhile.  That will not affect navigability (is that a word?), as the menu structure won’t change as it gets stuff added to it.

About Comments

I’m not much on social media.  I don’t use it.  I may even be a Luddite, but i’ve been building for online since before Tim Berners-Lee invented the web.  I do know how it works and why it is built that way.  So, with some forboding, I turned on comments.  We’ll see how that goes.
