It pretty much nails me. I am not a visual person. I can't visualize. That, at first held me back, until I learned to overcome it by learning and understanding.
I love to learn, study, understand something new. That to me is more enjoyable than actual creation. I used to make electronic circuits, only to immediately modify them, or then cannibalize them for the next project that came along.
I have planned many projects that I never built. The joy in me is the learning and designing. When I have an actual need, I'll usually actually build something. I built a mult-rack bbq smoker with a separate fire-box.I've built an electric go-kart for my son, an arc welder with a high-frequency arc stabilizer, a sand-blaster, a power-washer, a milling/drilling machine. I redesign the gas ignitor on my 60's Kenmore dryer, so it was still going strong when I finally got rid of it. And some not actually needed big-boy toys. A 25mm Black powder cannon and a 2.5 in Coehorn mortar. And I can't remember how many times I rebarreled one of my rifles when I craved to try out a different caliber. I make my own soap. Sourdough. Jerky. Sausage.
Its a curse.
Wow...that’s a pretty impressive resume right there! I’ll bet you’re hard to live with, though! LOL! No offense. Your brain just never shuts down! :)
