<h1>Austin Danos</h1>
<div class="intro">
<p>Handyman. Engineer. Storyteller.</p>
<p>For over sixty years, I've been building things with my own two hands in Slingerlands, New York. This is my corner of the galaxy.</p>
</div>
<h2>My Work</h2>
<div class="link-section">
<p><strong>My First Workbench</strong> — The story of how I learned to build something that would last.</p>

<div class="link-section">
<p><strong>The Prevention Ledger</strong> — A craftsman's guide to avoiding mistakes before they happen. Learn the old ways of measuring, checking, and planning.</p>

<div class="link-section">
<p><strong>The Perfect Dovetail Joint</strong> — Learn the art of the perfect dovetail. Every measurement, every cut, every joint tested. This is how my grandfather taught me, and this is how I teach you.</p>

</div>
<div class="link-section">
<p><strong>Iron and Oak</strong> — The tools my grandfather taught me to respect. The hand plane, the calipers, the chisel box. Not relics. Promises.</p>

<div class="link-section">
<p><strong>The Grandfather Workbench</strong> — Built 1924. Still true. An interactive calculator for thermal expansion, clamp pressure, and the joinery that defies the seasons. Specifications from the original bench, verified by my own calipers.</p>

<div class="link-section">
<p><strong>Coming Soon</strong> — I'm working on documenting every joint I've ever cut, every lesson I've learned, and every story worth passing on.</p>
