About Hands in the Smoke

I like learning
how things work.

This is where I keep notes on the things I build, fix, cook, and keep improving.

Most projects start with a question.

I work on backyard builds, repairs, cooking, and websites. I keep track of what I tried and what happened here.

I’m not an expert in all of it. I want the notes to be honest about mistakes, changes of plan, and what I would do differently next time.

01

DIY / Building

Backyard builds, habitat projects, storage, and other things I make.

02

Web / Digital

Websites and digital tools I build and keep improving.

03

Repair

Finding the problem, fixing what I can, and learning how it works.

04

Cooking / Content

BBQ, smoking, outdoor cooking, and the videos I make along the way.

Skills and tools

What the work has called for.

These are the skills that show up in the project notes so far.
