CHANNEL STATEMENT: This is a channel about my relationship with stuff. We all need to have a better relationship with the stuff in our lives - we have too much of it, and most of it’s junk. If nothing else I hope you take away with you an interest in the stuff in your life - a curiosity for how it’s made - why it’s good or bad - and perhaps even inspiration to build new stuff or fix what you’ve got. Having said that - the internet is a terrible place to learn anything. Unless you independently verify what you learn - you’ll never know if it was right or wrong or made up completely…. Unfortunately disinformation is both the currency and the bane of our era. I’m no expert in anything you’ll see here. I don’t want you to think that I am. Through my job I have access to people who are - and I’ve learned from them over the last couple of decades and become someone who is curious about stuff, brave about stuff , and foolish enough to try and make a youtube channel about my relationship with stuff all at the same time.

DISCLAIMER / PLEASE READ: In making this channel I will put more effort into making the content accurate, safe and correct than most - but that doesn’t mean I can’t be wrong. Accordingly I can’t guarantee or warranty any specific outcome for viewers should they attempt something similar to what they see on the channel. I encourage you not to copy projects you see here directly but build on them - discuss them with experts in your life, and make them better - make them work safely for you. We all need to figure out a better way to own stuff - this channel is meant to illustrate my experience with that, promote learning, have some fun, and challenge myself. Working with any tool or on any project can lead to unintended results - including injury and damage to property. Don’t work beyond your capability. In the same way I have to take complete responsibility for the outcome of my endeavours as recorded here, and my own safety and the safety of those around me - you have to do the same….. Use the information here at your own risk. Be safe, have fun, proceed with the appropriate caution for your situation….
