A Heartwarming Journey of Connection and Craftsmanship: Father, Son, and Soldering Gun Inspires Generations – Author Interview
Modern Day Book Report: Father, Son, and Soldering Gun: Stories That Forge Us by Steve Mycynek
Joe Stan, founder of Mr Home Guy, was recently working for Steve Mycynek on an install when they started talking about Steve's dad, Victor. Turns out, Victor worked in television and also as a handyman—the kind of guy who could fix just about anything. Steve gave his book, Father, Son, and Soldering Gun: Stories That Forge Us, to Joe to read.
Joe liked it. A lot.
He told me, "You've got to check this out. Talk to Steve. Write something about it." And that's how this blog post came to be.
