Just gotback from AC putting the barn back together after getting the First installment of woodworking tools. Took 4 days to go thru every piece,,,,,clean, oil and repair as needed. The tools are old but usable, sturdy and big. They are the kind that last several lifetimes. Next week I believe hand tools are arriving. I put up two sheets of pegboard and hung almost everything that was not nailed down. Clear to the ceiling!
Hope hear about those Ideas!!!!!
Montana to Oregon
Hmmm. I'm kinda stumped as to what project I should do next summer... Something that is dorm friendly. Or horse friendly. I live in a postage-stamp size room. I know!: a super cool bulletin board to put all the pics from the summer on it to hang in my room. Sweet. Mine will be done in an hour. Cheap too. Who's next?
New tools for NAG
Just returned from coastal retreat at AC and put finishing touches on the first NAG Bench. She looks great! Took Darin's advice and did not go with the purple stain and did use the outdoor wood treatment. It darkened it up some but still looks good. I'll be leaving it in for the winter so that its summertime debut will be sparkling. The tree house is almost dismantled and I think the resting spot under the big alder by the creek will be perfect.
If all goes well by mid month we may have more wood working tools for our use. A long time friend of Gordy's has offered the use of them, indefinitely, and as he is underemployed right now he may be there to teach me to use them. They are old but still functional. I just need to supply trucks and trailers to move them.
I did invest in a book of Projects (plans) so the next project will be a modified Adirondack chair....spent this weekend making templates. I was tired of reinventing the wheel, so to speak, with NAG #1.
So…….all of you start thinking about the project you’d like to work on over July 4th next year and submit here. I would like to suggest that the scope be something we can start and finish in a long weekend and that it be transportable. We can work on individual projects or another joint project to go home with one of you. I will, of course, supply bread, board and space/tools to be creative….you bring ideas and supplies.
Think about it and get back with suggestions and ideas….There might be a lottery to choose whose project to work on….I could get all materials ready ahead of time….Just some ideas to get you thinking about it over the winter.
Wishing you all creative thinking!
