Tinker TradeSpaces, you might ask? My oldest daughter actually suggested the name after I explained the idea to her. "Tinker" was in honour of my dad, who called himself a "tinkerer" in the truest sense of the word. When something needed to be repaired or made or even invented, he was determined to do it himself, and he always made sure to do it the right way. He would acquire the necessary knowledge and skills, and he'd only do the job when he was sure he could do it properly. He was always sure to keep costs down, reuse and recycle when possible, and he loved to pass on what he knew, as well as to help those who needed the help.
