Hey there! My name is Chris and I live in Massachusetts. I have been a teacher since 2006 and love the fact that I have the opportunity to bring real-world, hands-on skills to my students. I love learning new things and absolutely love combining multiple skills to complete a project.... especially if it means using renewable or recycled parts! You'll see that my Instructables really spread the gamut of projects ranging from woodworking to gardening, metalworking to electric machines, and onward…
