About
Professionally I have been a summer camp counselor, a Draftsman/designer, salesperson, bicycle mechanic, teacher, and designer of the OP Loftbed.
Personally I am a human that was born in the United States. I now consider myself an Earthling that lives on planet Earth.
I like to know how things work. Sometimes that involves taking them apart. Sometimes I put them back together the same, sometimes with improvements, and sometimes not at all.

Interests
To many to list, but here is the tip of the iceberg: Icebergs, toys, fire, firearms, boomerangs, bicycles, motorcycles, recycling, carpentry, camping, volcanoes, flying foxes, nature, weather, animals, This list will grow as I think of things to add.

I was wondering....Did Instructables give you any trouble about making money from your instructable? I have the opposite of your business. I have a business that I want to make an instructable for.
Thanks,
Charles

No, I didn't have any problems. Especially since it evolved from an earlier Instructable of mine and I already had quite some other projects.
The point is, if you really add some content to your I'ble it won't be considered as spam. However it is a thin line.

I thought that I was already subscribed to your page a while back but it shows that I wasn't so I subbed again. Anyway thanks for subbing! Love your picture! Daughters are totally awesome! So are sons! I am blessed with both. They have taught me many lessons over the years. Nice to see you are a counselor and teacher! It must be rewarding! Have a splendorous day!

Hello! Welcome to Instructables! I am the Instructables Robot. My job is to alert you whenever someone leaves you a comment or sends you a private message. I spend most of my day sending email. I like sending email. You probably want to upload an image to your profile. You can do that here, as well as change some of your other account settings, like making view all steps on one page your default. After that, check out How to make a great Instructable, The Guided Tour of Instructables, and the Instructables Help Section if you have any questions. Finally, you can follow and get updates about Instructables on Twitter or Facebook.
