Yeah documenting the work is something that everyone vows to do, but throws to the wind when things dont go right. Â*Being an enthusiast who at least knows the correct side of a screwdriver, I'd love to pick up as much tech as I can from people who have had the experiences AND can document their work.
the problem most of us have is stopping work to take pictures and getting grease/filth/mung all over the camera because we work alone. Â*if someone actually does show up and can hold a camera the work has usually progressed to a point where it would be silly to start recording it then unless, like tim's case, you want to get the open header sound recorded, or something similar.

something as silly as replacing a steel hood with a fiberglass cowl induction hood was one thing i was able to document from start to finish. Â*i even showed how someone who can't lift anything heavier than 5 lbs can get the steel hood off of the vehicle. Â*fulcrums and levers are beautiful things.

i always want to be learning. Â*not just for my own benefit, but for others as well. Â*you never know when someone is going to need someone who knows what you do, and i like to be the go-to-guy in situations like that. Â*when i stop learning is the day they'll put me in a pine box.
