Fixing engines, restoring furniture, and sharing stories from Van Buren.

Howdy, folks. I'm Bryan, an 82-year-old volunteer from Van Buren, Arkansas. I spend my days teaching younger volunteers how to fix small engines and restore furniture. But more than that, I love sharing the stories and skills of my generation before they fade away.

Whether it's a warped saw fence, a perfectly tuned engine, a cast-iron skillet, or a potluck meal with peach cobbler, I believe in the magic of hands-on work and the joy of community.
