Tales From The Shop
For a long time now I've been tinkering with things, taking them apart and putting them back together. Sometimes that results in me fixing them. I am no mechanic and have zero mechanical training so it's cool when things actually go back together without any spare parts left behind and they actually work.
This is the channel to document my efforts for the purposes of maybe helping someone do what I'm doing and/or for me to look back on later to see what I did. Hopefully someone can get some help or entertainment from it in the process.
Content on this channel will be all over the place since I work on all kinds of things from motorcycles to vacuum cleaners.
Nothing posted on this channel should be considered advice or instruction. Follow along at your own peril.
