Hey! Nostalgia hit!


What magazine did I used to see that in? Popular Mechanics?
Mechanix Illustrated? other?

Paradoxically, perhaps, Wordless Workshop might have been one
of the things that nudged me toward my current line of work.

Well, that and Rube Goldberg... :-)

IKEA, on the other hand, kinda took some of the fun out of it.
Not my job, the wordless instructions...
