the workshop!

Here are a couple of shots of the workshop. You can see the utility shelves that I built or fixed up, painted, and installed for tool storage, and a bunch of crazy old cabinets (some from the dump, some from the newspaper office where they were used to store type back in the day) that I fixed up and made a new countertop for. We're still in the process of getting organized, but I am almost done a new workbench that will be really flexible in terms of how I can use it and put it away and store it, and that will also serve as an outfeed table for the table saw. The next project will either be a big worktable with a solid top for Alex to use, or some side tables for Alex and Judi that we still need to talk about and design. Once those are done with, I need to build a bunch of bookcases for our house and a table for the record player to live on. The field is what you see when you walk out the front door of the workshop, and it's the new field that will be used as Devin's market garden. This weekend we got four truck and trailer loads of horse manure and spread them all out on the field. A guy is coming in to till it all up later this week, then we'll be good to go. We'll run a chicken tractor around the perimeter, and maybe do something similar with the pigs.
