About
they call me redhand because my left hand is often bloody, from knapping stone tools. and my name is rik. i'm tattooed, bearded, and look like a pirate. i have no social skills, and perhaps that's for a reason. i can deal with one or two people at a time. groups of people frighten me. i do alot of different things depending on what time of year it is and what my muse directs my attention to... sometimes it's kinda mainstream, but most of the time it's got a unique twist to it. every so often i get absorbed in doing something to the exclusion of ALL other things, that's when my loving wife of very close to 3 decades steps in and reminds me to eat and sleep and go to work... good woman, she puts up with my shit and lets me know when i'm pushin' the limits. work consists of working in a factory that makes paper products... like toilet paper... i run a machine that wraps toilet paper... so that some ceo that i've never even met can get annual million dollar bonuses..... and we can't even get a raise that keeps up with cost of living... grrrr (pulling of hair and gnashing of teeth, unintelligible muttering)

carving, silversmithing, rockhounding, lapidary, knapping, primitive skills, alpine snowboarding, tattooing

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 Help Group if you have any questions.
