It's working now.

That looks very interesting, and timely, since it's nearly time to work the soil in this corner of the world.

Happy birthday!

I don't heat with wood these days, or use a sawbuck, but back in the day, my family had a horrible x-shaped thing that could also be used for holding a 55-gallon drum horizontal about two feet off the ground. It was made out of angle iron, which made it even less useful for wood cutting.  It was so handy that we mostly bucked our wood on the ground, or the pile.
It's long gone, and good riddance. 😁

Here I go again.
I've backed the kickstarter with enough capital to get the boot-maker DVD and a few tools - well short of the deluxe package.

The first pair of shoes I make will be the most expensive footwear I ever will have owned. (But they'll be more MINE than anything else.)

Thank you so much!

Please, do yourself a favor and shop around for that sewing awl. It can be had for much less.

I do more language art than fiber art, so I confess that Kerry made me chuckle with this. Thanks!
If that's Larry up in the original post, please tell him he's a handsome critter. I'm glad he has avoided/branched out from his 'meat breed' predisposition.

Am I correct in presuming that the third of an acre mentioned is a part of a larger piece of property?

Jeez, now I want to run away to Portugal, of all places. (What will one more jackass hurt...)

Just give me 10-15 hectares of burned-out Portugal, some semi-feral donkeys, and I'll come up for air in 10 years.
