Hello from Minnesota

[showags]

Long time reader, short time poster. Just thought I would introduce myself. I am a chemist by trade, but gearhead at heart. Most all of my free time is either spent in the garage when I am not hunting or fishing. My hobbies include making anything work and figuring out exaclty how they work along the way. My biggest frustration is not knowing how something works or how something was all of a sudden fixed. I currently live in a townhome so I do not have near the garage-mahal that some of you folks have, but it is fully finished with the necessities. I also wanted to comment on how great of a site this is and I look forward to spending too much time here.

I have attached an example of what I tend to come up with given two hours and a deadline.

Welcome!!

And...ok, you got me. What the heck does that contraption do??

It's a 2-cycle blender. Started out as a 31cc weed whacker and a Oster blender. I needed something for the beach!

Welcome to the GJ,Showags!

I think you should post the "blender" in the Fabrications&Techniques section so members can see your "skills".

Nice job on the blender!!
