Profile Information
- Introduction
- I'm a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none, hooked on the creativity, music, and literature of the steam-punk world. I hope to meet and talk with others who feel the same. Most of my work is with wood, but I'm working brass into my projects and so far I like the results. I'm also an amateur photographer and gardener (nothing like sitting in the garden watching the sun rise with a steaming cup in-hand). I must also confess that I am addicted to working on and increasing the efficiency of those infernal noisy, and smelly, internal combustion engines!
