I’ve found that since school craft projects, I’ve not actually made anything. I’ve built relationships, I’ve built software projects, I’ve built something like a career. But an actual “something”? Nope. Nada.
At an extreme stretch you could say I’ve helped other people build things, but nothing that I would get primary credit for.
So… to build something you need to start somewhere. And where to start?
I have two fall projects that fall into this:
1. Coffee Table Entertainment Center
This will replace our “blue box” entertainment center which is nice, but behind the couch so we have to point remotes backwards. And it will give us an eating surface in front of the couch. I’ll make a separate goal with details for it.
2. Bike
I saw these plans on fabricating a carbon fiber bicycle frame and have been facinated by it. I’m going to give it a shot. Either I learn lots and get a new bicycle, or I just learn lots. Either way is a win, I figure.
If it works, I need to train up for the Seattle-to-Portland or something. But no getting ahead of myself!
If I find I’m actually cabable of making something, I’ll have to start some of my crazy building projects that “I’ve always wanted to do”.
