Answer the question, and your answer may be selected for inclusion in a future issue of Popular Mechanics. We're collecting DIY advice, life lessons, and other wisdom passed down from fathers to their children, and pulling it all together for feature story. We're particularly interested in DIY advice. For instance, renowned aircraft designer Burt Rutan tells us that when he was a kid, his father taught him how to catch blue jays using a four-bar trip mechanism and a box. Don't worry, the birds were unharmed. But Rutan gave us enough detail of how to build the trap that we will be able to illustrate it for the story. Meanwhile, Mark Reuss, the president of General Motors, shares the story of how his dad taught him to put a ring on a piston at the family auto repair and sales shop in Illinois.
Of course, you don't have to be a CEO or a famous designer to appear in our feature. We are talking to men and women of all ages to find out what their father taught them. The advice ranges from specific how-to information to ways to think or act or solve a problem.
If you have a great story to share, send us an email at pmwebmaster@hearst.com. Be sure to include your contact information, so that we can get in touch with you in the event that we want to publish your story.
