Hi, I'm Gary Richards. I am an ASE certified master automotive technician by trade, but was drawn into the world of DIY jet engines by chance while viewing a television show one day called Junk Yard Wars.

On the show, there were teams competing to see if they could build wild and crazy contraptions from scrap in a junkyard. They only had 10 hours to complete their tasks. On this particular episode, the teams had to build jet engine powered trikes! All laughing aside, they actually pulled it off.

I figured that if it could be done in 10 hours from a pile of junk, that I could do it in my spare time and have a little more to work with. So my love of jets was born, and I have never looked back. I continue to build new engines and find ways of powering vehicles with them. With the help of a few good friends, I have come a long way, and am proud to showcase my creations here on the web site.

There is plenty to see here, and I will add to it as my collection grows. Sometimes the results of my tinkering are not exactly spectacular, but that is what any hobby is all about. Taking the good with the bad and making everything a learning experience.

I hope you enjoy the site, and find something useful and entertaining for your time. You being here and viewing my work is a reward in itself, as appreciation of the projects is what keeps me motivated.

Sincerely,
Gary Richards
