Cool Tools, lesser known tools that can improve your life

I like this how very much because it is light, has a short and ergonomic handle.

This one is absolutely tipical from the Canary islands!

I have to shorten a bit the Wood handle… They are often all in iron though, but this one is lighter, for the garden. You can use the point part or the flat part, and even start with the Sharp point and then turn it when it entered the soil. I like it very much, you can do a lot of things  with it, and pull more soil tan with the usual triangular one.

Local artcraft 24 cms Blade and a smaler knife used to remove flowers from the bananas.

I had the idea this one would be perfect to work on a skin without risking a hole!

Our neighbors became too busy for their chickens, and so we adopted them and took their coop/run to our place. Of course, none of us had a truck. It was me, my husband, my teenager neighbor and her mom. We pushed the coop onto their trailer and tied it to our John Deer riding lawnmower with a chain. My husband drove and the three of us ladies pulled and pushed to keep the coop on the trailer and relatively balanced down about 1/2 a block of gravel road. We all wished we had a camera, because it was so redneck. But, we did it!

Editing to add a picture of the coop/run, nos that I have a picture!

l love the chicken coop/run. It is an amazing thing to have on the homestead.

A good knife is important.

The knife I carry, well besides my Barebones hori hori, is the Jeff White Nessmuck

This is what mine looks like (bought it on Amazon for like $15 I think):

How big is this, please? And how much does it weigh?
