outdoor kitchen log trough sink and counter top.

I'm not sure if we can do the log trough sink to our standards.  So this might be nothing more than taking a log and whittling it down to be a giant countertop with a normal sink embedded in it.

More information on "wind harp" if it pleases you to provide such.
Only thumbed-up because I don't know what it is and "Search threads and posts" refers back here.

Perpetual Growth Regenerative Horticulture. Grow in peace.

Staff note (L. Johnson) :

It comes up on web searches. Basically a free standing passive musical instrument. In the vein of a wind chime.

Staff note (Jay Angler) :

Also called an "Aeolian harp" - scroll down to pg 2 of this document for more explanation

paul wheaton wrote:high quality 8 inch, full size “rocket engine”
  - powers a kiln
  - powers a forge (like for swords)
  - powers a forge (like for melting aluminum)



Adding a basics course for beginner forge artists once it's completed. Preheating molds to drive off moisture to prevent injuries and making items for the homestead, coat hooks, pliers, garden implements, recasting broken machinery parts etc.

If I could spare the time away from work, I'd come for this one for sure. I'm wanting to build one in my backyard so I can utilize free pallet lumber instead of buying propane.

If it stinks, you're doing it wrong...

Practical basket weaving of several sorts of "useful on the farm" type baskets.
This might  include "making twine" out of different material, as some baskets use twine-like material as part of the finishing/handle process.
