Long story…
I spent so much time in my garage many years ago that my young daughters often asked, why? I always replied by saying I’m fixing something or making something. So as they grew up they told their friends and teachers I could make anything. That is why I was always in high demand for school projects or called on to make or repair school equipment. I loved doing anything that involved staying close to my girls. Fast forward many years, one daughter is married and off with her own family, my last two are in college. They barely notice what I’m doing in the garage these days. The other day I was assembling an early RS steering wheel that had a Porsche crest in the center. My youngest noticed and asked if I made it and I said no. She said why buy it if you can make anything. Huh…well, I didn’t need another horn button center so I thought about making drink coasters…fast forward 3 months…here’s my first attempt. Most expensive coasters I’m sure....but satisfying. I showed my girls last night and they said why make them if you can buy them. I said Huh…oh well. I searched and couldn’t find them so there. I now have RARE Fuchs Coasters as future giveaways. I'm mocking up 914 coasters now. Oscar |

Oscar (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chairfall.gif) This about sums up the current state of affairs. just order it off Amazon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) I just figure I'll be in high demand if I survive the Zombie apocalypse and live to go on making and fixing which is what I do. People sometimes ask what I do . . . I say I'm an un- (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bananabang.gif) . . . when someone else has (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bananabang.gif) it up, I un-(IMG:style_emoticons/default/bananabang.gif) it.
