Hi there, and welcome to the PinchPenny DIY'er!
I’m Roy, and I’m a medically retired Gen Xer living out in west-central Alberta, Canada.
Over the years, I’ve taught myself the basics of a wide range of hands-on skills such as woodworking, stick welding, and blacksmithing/ironwork to gardening, cooking, and preserving. I’m always on the lookout for practical ways to save money, and I love helping others do the same by sharing how I make, repair, or repurpose items.
I’ve decided it’s time to bring what I do to the wider world. I’m excited to build a helpful, supportive community here on Skool where we can learn, create, share ideas and grow together.
I'm looking forward to connecting with each of you soon!
Now that winter is setting in here in Alberta, Canada, and there is currently no adequate workshop access for more complex project content until spring, I am going to ask: What would you like to explore? Recipes? Kitchen hacks? General guides on basic home repairs?
My goal is to make this an interactive community through feedback and conversation. I'm looking forward to batting around some ideas to add to my current list of topics.
