YosemiteBen:
I have the same plane that I inherited from my grandfather!
Went tam:
Really enjoyed the shop time JB. Especially the part where I showed you how to make lots of little rocks out of much larger ones, a handy skill if you have a primitive drive way to build. Of course that stuff you were doing with the rocks was pretty cool too. Maybe someday I can make something other than driveway fodder.
The circular plane is one of my favorites, doesn't get used a lot, but it's great for what it's made for and I just think the construction of it is so cool. Made in the day when tools sacrificed neither form or function.
Will most likely go out and pick through the gravel on the shop floor and make some more gravel later :)

With snow on the ground the syrup making season begins.

First round of maple syrup just about done. Isaac made us a label for our bottle.

With the maple syrup done for today I started working on the timber stand improvement project. Matt I was able to, with Isaac's help, set one of the trees up for cutting with the chainsaw mill.
