AboutAbout Me Hi, my name is Nathan. Â Iâ€™m a guy who enjoys making things, whether with wood, fabric, metal, or electrons. I think my renewed interest in making things has come from an overload in the digital side of my life and a realization of the transience of that work: as a programmer, sometimes it feels like everything I work on can be erased by a blip in the power grid. So I head for the shop or clear out some space on the floor or dining room table and start making something with my hands. Iâ€™m lucky in that I came from a very DIY family. Â We built things and fixed things ourselves, so that always just seemed normal. I was taught how and encouraged to use the power tools, and I learned to sew at around ten years old (and promptly forgot it for the 24 years following).Â Now, Iâ€™m teaching myself electronics.Â After that, hopefully metalworking. I strongly believe that not knowing how to do something isnâ€™t an excuse to not do it, itâ€™s a reason to learn. Treat that condition as the beginning of a journey, not as a dead end.
