I still want to learn how to play the piano. I am working on my gardening skills and I want to learn how to raise dairy goats. Hubby is going to learn how to raise honey bees. We have a very long list of things.

Hey! You don't happen to know someone by the name of SnakeDoc do ya? He's building a popcan heater too!
Actually I think I may have met him on another forum.
That is where I know him from too. he put up a thread on the popcan heater.. Me I want to make a solar pump like the one in Mother Earth news but detachable so in the summer I can hook it to a box and small solar fan to dehydrate veggies and in the winter hook it to the kitchen window to catch that south window sun and help on sunny days boost the heat in there.

I would love to learn beekeeping, but I am REALLY afraid of bees...i mean REALLY! But I also really want to have my own honey! So I have always been tempted, but one sting and it would probably be over...ugh!

Hi...brand new posting here, but have been reading for a while. I would really like to learn to weld. Not sure why, just one of those things I have always wanted to know how to do. :D

On my list of the things I have missed learning... How To Darn Socks... How To Make Soap... Wood working (things like decks and storage sheds, maybe cabinets and furniture too)... How To Play The Harp...

That's just what comes to mind at the moment...

DH is making some solar panels with soda cans. It's for heating the chicken's coop this winter.
I've been slowly gathering materials for that also. But I have so many other projects under way that I can't seem to get to that one.
