Projects

I am perpetually curious. To sate my curiosity I must a achieve some level of understanding. Many things can be understood with contemplation. But many things in the physical world need hands on eye on experiments to feed the mind for contemplation. There is also a wonder sensation of “I did that :-)” when making something for the 1st time that motivates me.

Not all my experiments turn out to be more than basic proofs on concept. Many lead me off to new areas i hadn’t thought of or was a way of getting around something I was stuck on. Here are many of my experiments, some may just be photos, some I may do in depth blogs on. If there topics you’d like more information on, let me know. I may also do some how to’s.

I will be offering to share some of my projects and experiments in the gift shop. As a way to help support this site and my endeavors and as a way to share some of the curiosities that I’m proud of.

Wire Trees
