I launched a YouTube channel : Weekend Workshop

Of course (as per usual), I had thought about doing it for some years, then spent months researching and thinking, then one day (not as per usual) I just thought “do it”.
I must have simply run out of excuses – run out of energy thinking about what could go wrong, run out of hearing the same voice in my head saying that it would be a waste of time and energy.

So I did it.

I’m not by nature a publisher. I’m more of a consumer. But I realised that I do have some stories to share. And maybe some help to offer other people. I plan to start simple. To explore and learn the tools and techniques of the YouTube world. To put stuff online without worrying what the end goal is, or what the end result will be.

The idea is simple – to record what I do on the weekends.

A couple of years ago, my brother Jeff challenged me to buy a cheap old motorcycle and build something for the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride. So I did it. And it turned out to be a lot of work (and a lot of fun) and involved finding a workshop space. And spending every weekend working there, to get the motorbike running and registered with 2 days to spare!

Of course I didn’t take video of the whole custom-motorcycle journey, but I did take lots of photos, and I’ll share them here at some stage.

But at the end of that project, I found myself at a loose end – I had plenty of free weekends, I had a workshop, and I had stories to tell.

Welcome to the Weekend Workshop.
