[[File:Garry Stahl.png|right|frame|<center>Me</center>]]Hello; I am Garry Stahl. I an aging SF fan with too much time on his hands. I was born January 7, 1958 along with the space age. I saw every lift-off, major event, and splash-down of the first age of Space Exploration as it was happening. I know where I was when Kennedy was killed, and when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon (I don't forget Mike Collins BTW). I hope in my heart to live long enough to remember where I was when man sets foot on Mars.

My hobbies include folk music, including that thing called Filk. I have played AD&D and D&D in some form since 1976 (no not one session), and I am crazy over the work of Anne McCaffery, Robert Heinlein, EE 'Doc' Smith and Arthur C. Clarke, among many other authors. I have also met two of the four, you guess which two. I am also a hard core Trekkie.

I am married to Susan Stahl, a multitalented lady in her own right.

==Interests & Skills==
I am a creative person. I frankly need to be creating something, be it a model, a new piece of writing, or even repairing a windowsill on my house.

*'''Modeling:''' I enjoy modeling in the old fashion physical sense. Most of my work is in small scale modeling. I am familiar with and have done mold making and casting for both urethane resin and pewter. I will work in plastic, wood, cardboard, or metal.      I am interested in learning my way around 3D modeling and the Makerbot.

*'''Computers:''' I play with computers, mainly to accomplish my writing and graphics. I'm familiar with the inside because I started with [http://phoenixinn.iwarp.com/amiga.html Amiga]. Keeping those beasts going way past what they should have required getting into the physical guts. I am a user of Linux because I prefer to spend my time working with the computer, not on the computer. I own a Thinkpad T-61 that was shipped with SLED. My desktop was assembled at home from parts and no Microsoft tax paid. I am currently running OpenSUSE Linux 11.4 on both machines. I have an extensive collection of Amigas.      ''I do not code.'' I am familiar with HTML (I do my own web page.) but not PHP or CSS. I can navigate wiki markup decently, and hate it.      ''I do not do Windows''. Indeed like the maids of old. Not being snooty here, I haven't gotten into the guts of a Windows machine since Win98. My knowledge has aged out.

*'''Graphic Arts:''' I write, I draw, with the help of a computer. I used to do old fashion drafting, but I have not touched the drawing broad in years. I can construct a grammatical English sentence. My typing is flail and pray followed by extensive first response work. I was taught touch typing, but recovered. I'm a touch dyslexic, without computers I would not write at all.

*'''General:''' I'm the owner of an 80 year old house. I know my way around an extensive collection of power tools. I am familiar with basic machining tools of the metal shop. I've turned my hand at just about anything from the engine lathe to the forge. Familiar with most, expert in none. I can do general carpentry. I have never had the tools for proper cabinet making, but would do that too given the chance. I can do plumbing, and hate it. I don't do wiring, that I leave to my wife.

Yes, backing sheet metal with scrap wood is an excellent idea. It gives more body to the piece, as well as something to clamp it to. It will cut down on the scythe occurrences.

Go slowly. Take your time, you have all day to drill that hole. Keep a light pressure on the drill. It beats all day in the ER.

Consider the speed of the drill. Slower is better with metal. (I sense a theme here) Drill speeds good for wood are bad for metal. It results in the burning of more drill bits. Items which cost money. Slow is really good on plastic as it prevents melting and clogging up the drill bit. (No, I have ''never'' seen that happen.)
