RECONNECTING WITH THE EARTH
One weekend a year, the spoon carvers from around the country — and the world — gather on the western Minnesota prairie. “You’re making wood chips. The spoon is a byproduct. It’s very meditative and therapeutic.”

Love working with wood the old-fashioned way. I started collecting old hand tools a while back and have a pretty nice collection.

This guy (Peter Follansbee) worked at Plymouth Plantation and has also appeared on the Woodwright's Shop on PBS....





SO many old mills have closed around here, plus people cleaning-out their places, it's amazing the old tools you can find - really cheap. Can be relaxing in a way.................
There you go man, keep as cool as you can. Face piles and piles of trials with smiles. It riles them to believe that you perceive the web they weave. And keep on thinking free. (Moody Blues)
