On today's episode, I build a clothes drying rack that is operated by a manual winch so that I can lift and lower this clothes rack for drying clothes. This has been a game changer for space and opening up the area to maneuver more efficiently. We have enjoyed how this rack has enhanced the amount of clothes we can hang dry. It really hasn't increased per se, it's just that it feels more spacious. 

Also, in this episode, you will see the fails of this project and how I overcame those fails to produce a product that is quite successful. Success and failures are relative when you look at a project as a whole. For us, it was a success because it did exactly what I intended this project to do. Give me more floor space to move around our laundry area more efficiently and to create a larger rack that holds more clothes to dry. That's a win in my book. Does it look pretty? NO! But it accomplished my needs and it has better improved our way of life while doing laundry.

In this very first episode of Teach Skills You Learn, I’m kicking things off by sharing a bit about who I am, where I came from, and why I’m starting this podcast. I’m a former cabinetmaker who’s spent years working with my hands—building, fixing, and figuring things out. Now, as a DIYer and lifelong learner, I want to pass on the practical skills I’ve picked up along the way.

Whether you’re just getting started with a tool kit or you’ve been doing projects for years, this podcast is here to help you build your confidence and learn how to teach yourself (and others) the kinds of hands-on skills that can change your life.

Let’s break down the basics, talk tools, and get real about learning by doing. Welcome to the journey!
