I'm Andy. I love this site and have been visiting for years. I sometimes feel all alone in my struggles. It is nice to know others have the same problems, dreams and work ethic that I have. I have been a "DIY-er," and builder since I was a teenager. My dad was a carpenter in his younger years and the smell of nails and two by fours brings my back to when I was just a rug rat. I started out building my own transformers (the expensive and hugely popular robots) out of scrap wood. My mom put me to work making these duck baskets she saw in a magazine when I was in the fourth grade. She sold them at a fundraiser for some group she belonged to. When I moved form Montana, were I am originally from, to Las Vegas, one of the motivating factors was that I could buy a house with a three car garage. That kind of thing is hard to find in Montana. I bought one ten years ago and began to fill it with wood working tools. Then I got the crazy idea to get into the wonderful world of metal working. Today I wish I had a six car garage. Anyone know of a town with a bunch of those?! Any way, I do a bit of everything. I am primarily an entertainer, and being handy helps in the building of props, sets and other crazy things that you can not buy at Wal-Mart. I'm the guy my neighbors call when anything breaks. I'm the dude all my friends refer to has "Handy Andy." I love thinking something up in my head and making with my own two hands. It is so satisfying to create something and having it work just the way you imagined. Good Luck in all your projects my friends. ANDY
