Pappy:
Nice point and looks like you had the full attention of those kids. Ya unless you intend it to be your personal work shop, and even then you need to think about expansions as you build, it will sure make things easier in the future, Wished I had thought of that way back when. Always a bunch of banjo work that has to be done when we add on to something because we didn't think about it when we first started. That place of yours is really looking nice, yall have done a great job and will get years of enjoyment out of it. :)

I literally CANNOT WAIT to see this beautiful place in person this weekend. I'm sitting here at working just imagining it. :)

We had a real nice gathering this weekend with a great group of guys. This was our first official bow gathering for our small band of bow makers. Eric was able to combine a work travel week with a weekend at our new site. He was our first guest to camp out and set up his own workshop. It was impressive to see him produce wooden spoons one of which he gifted to Annette and an atalatl handle that we all took turns launching a dart at a deer target.
We got to see how the space functioned with everyone working on different projects at the same time. Paul came in early and worked on his bow, Tim and Ben started new ones. Sam came with his bow and did a lot of target shooing. I even sat my butt down, worked on my bow, knapped a hunting point and built two arrows for fall deer hunting (I almost never have a full quiver on opening day). We all had a nice cook out on the fire and great tasting smoked brisket that Eric brought. We had about 9 or 10 people flow through and that was perfect for a first run on the place.
It was good to see people using the place.

The spoon found its way to the "she shed" Eric.
