Equipment
I've always been obsessed by equipment - by the way things worked. For as long as I can remember, I've been surrounded by piles of partly-disassembled machines of one sort or another.
When I started working out, this obsession moved over to gym equipment. Things I could make, things I could buy, things I'd heard about and - occasionally - things I'd create. If it's in the gym, it's on this list. Enjoy.
