Field Guide for the Millennial Man

I'm Nate. I take things apart, try to fix them, and occasionally remember to make a video about it.

It started in 2011 when my Flip Camera broke. YouTube showed me how to take it apart, a little soldering brought it back to life, and I figured I'd return the favor.

I made two videos about the repair that I did and uploaded them.  Pretty soon I was hearing from people around the world—including a young man in the Dominican Republic that was very appreciative. 

Knowing that something I made in my basement could help someone halfway around the world inspired me to keep creating.

My faith in God has taught me the value of serving others. Sharing a fix, explaining a solution, or helping someone learn something new is one small way I try to live out that faith online.

These days, you'll find a little bit of everything in my How-To Library: tech, repairs, cooking, automotive projects, bikes, and other adventures in figuring things out. My background includes commercial AV, systems integration and LiveSound101 training series, but I promise there won't be a quiz.

This site is the companion workbench to my YouTube channel, with extra tips, photos, resources, and project details when they're useful.

Take a look around. You might learn something—or at least find out how to take something apart.
