I love the great outdoors , doing plenty of hiking through the mountains when I have the time . My other passion is anything mechanical but mainly it is to scratch build things that can serve a purpose, it may be a model plane , wood work or anything like that. But it is also my wish to teach something usefull to those who are disadvantaged, because I believe it is best to teach somebody a skill to survive than to give constant hand outs.
