I’m Josh

A guy who loves to tinker. I love to work on old 2 stroke Seadoos and other watercraft, bicycles, and hope to find an old car to work on someday. I also like woodworking and doing home maintenance. I’m inspired by other channels I love like Vice Grip Garage, Sebastian Blue Crew, and Mustie 1. As far as the Nine Finger part goes…I lost my right index finger to cancer February 24th 2022 but I didn’t let it stop me from doing the things I love. I just do NINE FINGER WRENCHING now. Thanks for checking out the channel.

 

How NFW got started.

I’ve always been a guy that likes to work with his hands. From building houses and working on bicycles to just fixing stuff I broke. In 2020, when we all found ourselves with lots of time at home, I found myself watching guys repair old PWC’s on YouTube. Next thing you know, I found one on FB Marketplace and brought it home. My wife was so proud (insert mischievous smile here - haha). Having never worked on motors, I began researching and teaching myself how to restore the heap of junk I purchased.

Years later, I’ve worked on numerous PWC’s. After restoring mine, other people started contacting me to fix theirs. I wanted to share the things I’ve learned and the fun I have with others.

I wanted to start a YouTube channel for a while, but then I had a setback in January 2022 when I found out I had a rare, aggressive form of cancer, Digital Papillary Adenocarcinoma, that resulted in amputation of my right index finger.

After I recovered from the amputation, I had to find new ways to do the things I do. Throwing darts, removing jar lids, signing my name, using screw drivers….every task is done a little different.

And

NINE FINGER WRENCHING was born!

I hope I can inspire others to keep on doing the things they do and share a little bit of knowledge along the way.

How I started 2023!
