Tonight we're talking about the stuff you know how to do that nobody ever actually taught you. Maybe you learned it by watching somebody else. Maybe you screwed it up 14 times until you figured it out. Maybe you had no money, no instructions, and no choice but to figure it out yourself. Mechanical skills. Shop tricks. Life lessons. Weird talents. Things you can do that you don't even think of as a skill anymore. And here's the big question: How much of what you know was actually taught to you—and how much did you have to figure out for yourself? Come hang out, tell some stories, teach us something, and let's see what everybody in the CTP crew has figured out along the way. Bring your stories. Bring your weird skills. Bring the thing nobody ever taught you. We'll see you in the shop. #MikeIsMakingStuff #CTP #MakingStuff #DIY #Maker #LifeSkills #LearnByDoing
