About me: I have a silver hammer, much like Maxwell's, that I made on a 15" Clausing lathe.
A century ago, I would have been: A Tinker (as in Tinker, Tailor, Candlestick maker).
Words to live by:
I can fix anything with the right tools.
Pick a path/Stay on the path/Reach a goal/Repeat.
When the going gets tough, the tough fight dirty.
Enough talk and... How hard could it be?
