One lamp rewired. One music box somewhat degrimed, oiled, and working. One 400 day clock running but still gonna get a clean and oil.

Found piles of other stuff I had forgotten about instead. Have yet to find the knife. Been years since I’ve seen it so could be anywhere.

Just moved a couple of wheelbarrow loads of tools and metal out of the west barn shed to the Q-hut. Went down there trying to find a knife.

Bamboo is a test for the tipi that I’m building for us to use to vend out of at festivals. Suspect I’ll cut and peel saplings instead.

Tarp put on the front of the Q-hut to shelter tools and work area for the coming construction. A few pieces of bamboo cut and trimmed.

Long day working around the compound. Got 3 more loads of dirt moved to the garden. Bunch of rocks piled up waiting to go into a wall.

Guess the gunk that had stuck my keyboard to the desk was coffee. Didn’t smell quite right though… :-(

Got to drill & machine a slot in the anvil base to insert the plate support shaft. Got the drive wheel to quill drive adapter made earlier.

Will take the chain saw to finish cutting it up and that’ll have to wait till tomorrow. Guess I’ll get back to building the bushing reamer.

Moved an old woodburner to the front of the Q-hut and have been burning brush old wood and bits of the tree that fell on the building.

Taking a break from turning pieces on the lathe. Got a piece of steel in there now that’ll be the first reamer. At least I’m hoping it will.

Got it far enough along that I was able to use it as a press to press a bushing into the center of a bearing.

Spent the last 2 days working on pieces to convert an old drill press into a bushing machine for clock work. Still got a long way to go.

Have a lingering stomach bug. Been with me for nearly a week now. Got a day with nothing out and about to do and just want to sleep.

Gonna be one of those days. Spend 30 minutes waiting to smell the coffee perking. Go in kitchen to see about it. Helps to turn the stove on.

Will be our first Monday open there. Hoping it works out and becomes a permanent thing.

Bed is beckoning, but have another 8 pieces to price so I can take them with me to put in the case in the morning at Valley Antiques.
