Despite my 'bananas for fingers,' I've marveled at craftsmen and mechanics online, but never dared to join them.Perhaps it’s because I have – to quote my Army mate “Buffalo” – bunches of bananas on the end of my wrists, as opposed to proper fingers, that I have avoided working with my hands as much as possible.
I paid a bit of attention to technical drawing and can find my way around some simple blueprints. But, I employ my fingers on keyboards – first a typewriter, then computers – to earn my daily bread. These days, too, if something breaks, it will often be thrown away – thank you, built-in obsolescence – or the supposedly defective part will be removed and replaced.
