I’m a serial hobbyist. This means that I prefer to DIY over buying. On my own, I’ve learned woodworking, leather working, welding, mechanics, and gunsmith-ing.
Here you’ll find a list of things that I’ve made or currently making or things that I plan to make. This could be anything experimental to projects that I use daily.
5/6/20 – This blog will be updated as we go along. A couple of years ago my buddy, Nathan, purchased his first home. As part of the deal, he negotiated to keep the existing trailer in the backyard – a California made Airlight camper/trailer. According to the internet, Airlight was a competitor to Airstream but…

It’s a Friday night on the day that Los Angeles decided to extend the stay at home order. The past few weeks have been agonizingly boring. Boring to the point where I start finding fixes to keep me entertained. Rewind back a few months. My roommate had started a new position and was given a…
My buddy and his wife wanted to have an outdoor play area for their child and baby cousins in their backyard. They wanted to inspire art and creativity. A chalkboard was perfect for that. The only issue was there wasn’t any buying options for a giant outdoor chalkboard. They enlisted my help to build a…
Let’s be honest. I’m not a very public person. As an introvert, starting this blog was very hard. My obvious motive was compensation. This goal got me started with affiliate marketing.
