Hi there!
on: April 26, 2017, 10:15:15 PM
I've been following this forum for a quite some time and decided to join and introduce myself.

I am 40+ years old, a would-be artisan/craftsman, living in Finland.

Being part of the generation who grew up watching the MacGyver TV-show, I have carried swiss army knife (or some other type multitool) ever since.

My main hobbies are handicrafts, visual arts, outdoors and nature. I'm also an avid photographer (though I currently shoot only with smartphone) so expect to see plenty of photos  :)
