Tell us about yourself:“I’m an incurable garage tinkerer.”
If you once had a radio-controlled toy as a kid (or still do, hey that’s cool), then take a look at this. Bill constructed an impressive snow-clearing machine that makes an otherwise dull chore a little more entertaining.
Cool project, Bill! Thanks for sharing it with us!
