About me: I'm Valve Cruso, just a plain red fox with old-fashioned values. I care deeply about those close to me, and will go out of my way for a friend in need. I take pride in my loyalty and honesty, and I try to be the best fox that I can be. I may not always succeed at it, but I at least try.

I have a passion for all things vintage, and I restore antique radios, engine magnetos, Model T ignition coils, plus a host of random things. I also have a strong interest in antique cars (read antique, not classic) and often work on Ford Model Ts at the museum I volunteer for, The Old Kingsbury Aerodrome, www.pioneerflightmuseum.org . I also dabble with electronics quite a bit, ranging from digital logic and computers to tube amplifiers, and everything in between. I also design custom circuits and repair just about every type of electronic device imaginable (though to be fair, many these days aren't really repairable by design). If it uses electricity, I'm in on it. Tube amplifiers are big specialty of mine, and I design, build, and repair them.

Commissions: Sure, why not? I'm fairly limited in what I can do, but feel free to drop me a note and we can go from there!

If you're wondering where the username Valveman11 came from, rejoice, for I shall tell you! First off, I did not get Valve from Valve, the gaming company, nor engine valves (you might be led to believe so since my avatar is a steam engine). It actually came from vacuum/electron tubes, which we just call tubes here in the states. However, Tubeman11 didn't sound so good, but tubes in England are called thermionic valves, or just valves for short. So there it is. Valveman11 was named after vacuum tubes. The 11 is just arbitrary. So now I'm Valve Cruso, and Cruso just came from googing "cool last names"

Once again, mated to my beloved  hollyfox

I messed up bad, but I couldn't be happier that we are now back together. What happened the last three months will be the most powerful growing experience of our relationship, and I look forward to spending the rest of my life with you. I love you <3 <3 <3
