Why engineering?
Because it is the profession where things are allowed to go wrong in interesting ways.
Are these guides?
Not exactly. They are bench notes: what I built, what failed and what finally held together.
Do you only cover gadgets?
Mostly. Goggles, mounts and bad ideas get in too.
Can I send you a build to test?
Yes. Tell me what you want tried and I will check whether it fits on the bench.
How often is the bench cleared?
When something works or something explodes, whichever comes first.
