Sorry about my absence from my blog here. We are building a new home and with my job and the bees - it sure keeps me busy!
This year started off in January rather warm and pleasant. I actually thought we were in for a 'soft' winter. I could not have been more wrong! Winter came back with a vengeance and brought sub zero nights with 3 foot of new snow in just 16 days!
So, the family and I are focused on building equipment and making frames. Here is the box machine that we use to make the 'finger joints' for our boxes. When this is running, I am VERY careful. This is a dangerous machine for sure. One mistake, and it would be my last!
