It's hot here, 92 yesterday and more of the same expected through the week. Pretty much mornings and evenings for shop time for me.

Good morning. I have a few new sticks in the works. The first one should be done in about a week with more to follow soon after.

Good to see you back!

It's been hot all week. I think it will cool down starting early next week. I'm still plugging along on a few new sticks. Not much to show yet though.

likewise , the temps are killing me off too . done a couple of sticks and working on one at the moment . I just have to decide what type of hand piece to put on it .

It started cooling off here yesterday. It's so much nicer now. I have three more sticks done that I will post later after I take some pics.

Have a great day!

Good morning! Weather was low 80s yesterday with a nice breeze. Quite pleasant compared to earlier in the week. I'm hoping for around the same today. I finished two more sticks yesterday. Nothing really different from what I usually make.

The last few days have been on the muggy side. A lot of wildfires in the region again this summer. The sun has been red from all the smoke in the air. Nasty stuff.

It's cooler today, low 60s in the house this morning. It's a nice change.

Good morning. The weather has been pleasant the last few days. Nights are cool and Fall is getting here. I'm hoping for some rain soon to get the mushrooms growing. No pictures, the camera's batteries are dead. I've started a new cane with a padded handle. I'll post a few pics after it's done.

Looks like we're finally turning the corner into fall here in Maine after a long summer of brutal heat and humidity. Barely into the mid 60s today.

Got the new shop the other day. Still sitting on the trailer at the moment but should be in place soon. It's bigger than I thought it was going to be, too. 12x16 rather than 12x14. Benches on 3 sides (one of which I might take out to put my lathe.) Wired and partially insulated. The siding needs some work; it's 20 year old chip board and is starting to come unglued a bit. I might frame in a couple of windows since it has none at the moment. But in general: WOO HOO!

That's a decent sized shop. Mine is 10x20 so they're about the same size. The shape of yours will probably be more useful. Mine is a bit narrow at 10 ft.

Fall is pretty much here too. We just had our first big rain about a week ago.
