Fish Pond

Posted on May 29, 2020May 29, 2020

A new/old or old/new work in progress… something. My house was built in 1952. Sometime after that, a small, square fishpond was installed in the corner of my yard. My old house had a “water feature” as well, but it is covered up and forgotten. I suppose they were all the rage back then, as…

Sooner or Later

Posted on December 1, 2019December 1, 2019

I’ve slacked off on ranch work lately… letting the guys do projects without my “help”. The other day, I stopped in to see all the work they’ve done on our calving shed. First of all, they’ve repaired the corral. They’ve torn down a fence line that ran from this post clear over to the orchard…

Rocket Stove

Posted on September 29, 2019September 29, 2019

There was more rain today… but we will take it over the four feet of snow they had in Montana! We visited my sister, who showed me how her rocket stove worked. Now, I had Brandon help me make this present for her last year, but, in my typical fashion, I gave it to her…

Tabled

Posted on September 9, 2019September 9, 2019

What do you think? I’m pretty happy with it, perfectly square or not. One of the reasons I built it, was to have someplace to showcase the very old wagon wheel sections that Johnny gave me out of his basement. There are two uneven sections and one spoke. They’re OLD. I took eleven different photos…

Done. Or Not.

Posted on September 3, 2019September 3, 2019

I’ve been building a table. I’ve shown you pics in “Project” and “Unfazed”. I’ve continued… trying to figure out five steps ahead of myself as well as upside down and backward. I’m not exaggerating. I had to figure out how to get my legs attached and put on the apron and level the top, all…

Project

Posted on August 23, 2019August 23, 2019

School started this week, it’s so hard to believe summer is just about over. I’ve been wanting to build a little table for my dining room for two summers now, so I was determined to do it before winter hits! I also didn’t want to have to buy any materials for it… although I did…

Walking Bridge II

Posted on August 18, 2019August 18, 2019

(continued from yesterday’s post) So the platform was partly in the creek, next I’d have to get in the water and man handle the new bridge into place. I am bummed that this is only a temporary little bridge. I will have to pull it out before the creek rises in the spring, but since…

Walking Bridge

Posted on August 17, 2019August 17, 2019

Well, I’ve thought for years that I needed a bridge down across Little Canyon Creek. I can go on a walk and stay on this side of the creek and yes, I can cover a fair amount of country… but the other side of the creek has always been greener. There may not be lots…

Day Three

Posted on April 16, 2019April 16, 2019

Well, of course there are other things I’ve done today… like defrosting my freezer, reorganizing, and repacking it with beef… and standard household chores… but I did get to spend some time on the table! The quote is from Plato… “Books give a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination,…

Day One

Posted on April 13, 2019April 13, 2019

Design day one… It’s difficult to see, but I’ve sketched out some simple designs… each section has a book in it… after all, this table will return to the library. And then I start…

Helper

Posted on April 12, 2019April 12, 2019

Starting a new project… this one is for the library… I will keep you updated on my progress… hopefully, that will encourage me to hurry up and keep working! This little table is getting reworked. First step is sanding. Luckily, I had an awesome helper.
