Paul Sellers Hand Plane (no power tools allowed)
No, it is not a power tool. It is a Stanley #4 bench plane that has made three dining tables. Paul Sellers convinced me that quiet work is better. Sharpening whetstone included. I will show you how to rock the plane on pickup.
Physics Tutoring -- Motion, Gravity & Forces
One-on-one tutoring in classical mechanics. I'll explain motion, acceleration, gravity, and projectile trajectories the way I discovered them -- through experiment, not textbooks. We'll use inclined planes, pendulums, and water clocks. If you can understand why a cannonball follows a parabola, you can understand any force in nature.
Scientific Method Workshop -- Question Everything
Small group (max 6). Hands-on experiments: pendulums, inclined planes, falling objects. We'll replicate my actual experiments from the 1600s. You'll learn to form hypotheses, design experiments, collect data, and draw conclusions. Aristotle said heavy objects fall faster than light ones. I proved him wrong. You'll prove him wrong too, with your own hands.
Astronomy Night -- Planets, Moons & Stars
Evening observation session (weather permitting). I'll show you Jupiter's moons, Saturn's rings, the craters of our Moon, and the phases of Venus. Bring warm clothes. Tip: Your eyes need 20 minutes to adapt to the dark. No phone screens. Learn the constellations first, then use the telescope. Context before magnification.
Laws of Motion Workshop -- Forces & Momentum
Small group (max 5). Hands-on experiments demonstrating all three laws of motion. Newton cradle, collision carts, spring scales, inclined planes. You will measure forces, predict outcomes, and verify them. Every bridge, every car, every rocket uses these three laws.
Bicycle Repair & Mechanics Clinic
Bring your bicycle. We'll strip it down and rebuild it together. Chains, gears, bearings, brakes, wheel truing. The bicycle is the most efficient machine ever built -- more miles per calorie than any vehicle. Wilbur and I ran a bike shop for a decade before we ever touched an airplane. The skills transfer perfectly.
Kite Building Workshop -- Control Surfaces
Build a biplane kite with working control surfaces. We tested our wing-warping concept on kites before we ever risked our necks in a glider. You'll learn about roll, pitch, and yaw -- the three axes that every pilot controls. Also great fun on a windy beach.
Antenna Design & Construction Workshop
Build working antennas: dipole, ground plane, Yagi-Uda. Wavelength, impedance matching, gain, directivity. The antenna is the most important part of any radio system. A perfect transmitter with a bad antenna is useless.
Bosch Laser Level Kit (GLL 3-80 CG)
Bosch GLL 3-80 CG green laser level with tripod and target plate. 360-degree coverage on 3 planes. Self-leveling. Visible in daylight. The gold standard for hanging cabinets, tiling, and framing.
Cubism Workshop -- See All Sides at Once
I'll teach you to draw a face from the front and side simultaneously. We'll break objects into geometric planes, reassemble them, and create something the camera can never capture. Cubism isn't abstract -- it's more real than reality. It shows everything at once.
Astrolabe (Improved Hypatia Design)
My improved astrolabe design. Measures the altitude of stars and planets, tells time, finds latitude. The GPS of antiquity. Brass construction, hand-engraved. I'll teach you to read the sky.
