Passionate about a lot of things but especially making, tinkering, science and the outdoors. I love to learn about things by taking them apart. Bikes and astronomy are also some keen areas of interest in which I do some dabbling with design, building and tinkering. I love crusty old tools just as much as I love science education. This is my personal Instructables account, for my professional informal education Instructables channel with all sorts of 'ibles about STEAM activities, see posts over at member id spectrUMDiscoveryArea.
