♫...Please allow me to introduce myself... ♫
Howdy folks...
Now that I seem to have offended just about everyone in this community in one way or another... I'd like to introduce myself :)
My name is Elliott, and I leave in the Seattle area of the Pacific NorthWest...
I am a carpenter, gardener, and teacher of integral design and natural building techniques...
I salvage building materials from remodels and dumpsters and repurpose them in creative ways to make functional art... like furniture and musical instruments & toys/games...
I enjoy working on my sailboat and go for picnics on the water in the lakes and Puget Sound...
I don't own a car by choice... rather prefer to walk, bike, bus or carpool where I need to go...
I have travelled all over the Americas... by boat, bicycle, car, plane, & train...
I am in the process of converting a suburban wooded lot into a food forest & micro-farm...
I collect functioning antique hand tools, toys, musical instruments, furniture, and fixtures...
I collect books; mainly about history, religion, politics, homesteading, sailing, & DIY manuals...
I read the King James Bible and started a lending library at my local Independent Baptist church...
I love the Rainbow Family of Living Light, with all of our diversity of expression and opinions... and I invite you all to come to the National Gatherings that take place between Solstice & 4th of July...
Peace, Love & Light..!

Don't forget the Fibonacci series, too...one of the easiest ones to implement.
This is the icosahedron that adorns my desk...
It's actually a baby rattle, but it's just so wonderfully graphic in its design, that it's quite beautiful.

Fibonacci, is magical. I created a basic modeling program for a programming class in Engineering school.
Oh and WELCOME.

1 acre with a creek, orchard, kitchen garden, and a pond I am building...And with the temperate maritime climate, I can grow some things year round :)
