Small Engines to 3D modeling
I have a passion for motorcycles and small engines, I grew up watching my grandpa have a small country repair shop and I like to think that is what sparked my curiosity to always want to understand how stuff works so it can always be fixed.
I am currently rebuilding a motorcycle that has became more of a passion than just something new to ride. I enjoy the process of taking something broken and making it new again.
One of my favorite hobbies is designing 3D modeling components to print off. This can sometimes take weeks of designing for one project with many trial and error runs to make an item work.
