Hello everyone! I joined Steemit to share my strange life and crafty hobbies with you.

Hello there Steemit community!

I'm stoked to join up and start contributing! I've never been a very computer/social media literate person, at least for my generation, but my friends Matt and Rob are very convincing people, so here I am. Learning about the internet and block chains.

I grew up in a crime ridden neighborhood in California called Richmond, maybe 10 minutes north of Oakland in the Bay Area. When I turned 18 I moved to Boston, where I lived for 7 years or so before I moved to Detroit where I am now. I've done a lot of traveling within the states mostly by motorcycle, and I've had lots strange and exciting adventures.

I dropped out of high school to be a woodworker, and I've been doing woodwork ever since, so I have a lot to offer in that department, but on top of that, I'm pretty crafty. I also do leather work, sewing, stained glass, taxidermy, metal fabrication, engine repair, laser etching, I've done a few tattoos and so on and so on. FullSizeRender.jpg
This is a retail store I designed and built and installed for a business on Mackinac Island, a crazy island in northern Michigan, where they don't allow and motorized vehicles. Strange place.

This is a bolo I made for a buddy with a rat skull in it. He found the skull on top of a mountain in New Hampshire

I have so many damn projects going on. I'll post about them, and show what I'm doing, and if any of you guys have a better way of doing things, PLEASE tell me.

I'm in the middle of building a motorcycle and I work at a great furniture shop, so I'll have lots of cool interesting content to show y'all.

These are some old logs that were buried in a swamp near the Ford museum, that were dug out to get milled and turned into some fancy furniture for a big ol executive office in downtown Detroit! I'll show you guys what that's all about as we build it.

I'm also involved in a lot of local activist circles, so I have some vague political Ideas that I like to talk about too.

And I've been involved in the punk scene since I was young, so I have a lot of cool music to share too.

I have to much to offer, my hunger, my flesh, my blood! What wont you take from me?!

Sweet chopper frame! I'm curious about the build process and would love to follow along how it's built up!

excellent! I Should be doing a lot of work in the coming days.

Making a bobber?

More like a cross between a dirt track and a chopper. I raised it up two inches in the front and rear, and gave it knobby tires and I'm also giving it a ridiculous sissy bar and upswoop pipes and a peanut tank.

Now that sounds like a project to Steem about. Would like to see that!

just posted more progress!
