I am a long-time tinkerer and a professional, Magician and Circus performer. this means my projects have quickly turned to design magic tricks and circus props. I enjoy the problem-solving process of needing props or objects to perform a specific operation and the (sometimes) 100s of different ways you can achieve the same result. I have no formal training in any engineering or other fabrication discipline but I do have a passion and high capacity for self-teaching and enjoy learning a new skill when I need it.
