Bio

Ten years ago, Mister Jalopy decided to be handy. "People are not born craftsmen; they just have the courage to screw things up," he says. "Embrace your inner amateur and try everything. There will always be an expert to take your money and fix the mistakes." Mister Jalopy is a mediocre welder, a fair shade-tree mechanic, and a clumsy designer, and has never touched a piece of wood that he hasn't ruined. However, he still gets a lot done at hooptyrides.com.
