I happened to turn around in a parking lot and there was this beautiful tree. And, all the color is about gone. Lucky to see it.

Mik's organic garden at Go Away. She's trying to stay ahead of the rabbit. He's eating her lettuce faster than it can grow:-)

Well, we finally did it...

Not really. I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to get Molly all worked up. She's always wanted a monkey and someone sent me this and I thought I had to share. Isn't this amazing.

We've let Bucky go into the wild. Yesterday, two weeks following his release, he walked in to the yard when Isidro got there for work.

Paul Sellers, Master Woodworker, and me.

Paul Sellers, Master Woodworker, and me., originally uploaded by galenwalt.

Not only is Paul a English Master Woodworker, he is a man of God with a wonderful testimony and an awesome spirit, and a wonderful person. I really learned to respect him very quickly. His quick wit and keen understanding of all things wood was a bit intimidating, but he kept it so simple and so real for me. A true mentor.

What a pleasure to learn this simple but enduring craft of historical quality furniture making. Once you make this little box, you can make a drawer, etc.

Joseph and his father Paul, my instructor, made this cello from scratch in 250 man-hours. It is unbelieveablely beautiful. Joseph came and played it for us in the woodshop on Friday. Beautiful! He's 17 and a very accomplished woodworker himself.

3 Pieces I made at Homestead Woodworking School, originally uploaded by galenwalt.

A shelf on top utilizing handcut dado's, mortises, and tenon jointery, a dovetailed box, and a walnut occasional table utilizing all hand-cut mortise and tenon jointery. A wonderful experience when all you have ever experienced is powertools. Grandaddy's image came back to me in his shop more than once during the week. It was quite an experience. We learned sharpening of all tools, including saw sharpening for the first time for me. Wow.

I spent six full days and one night here learning hand tool woodworking. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in doing wood working.

My work area in the class

My work area in the class, originally uploaded by galenwalt.

There was about 13 of us in the class. We worked two men to a double sided bench and each had a full set of tools to work with. Working together was interesting because it gave you someone to bounce ideas and questions off of without having to involve the instructors.
