Lots of family time this past month - and wrapping up my Sneakbox project. The trailer is all squared away and I am about to spruce up the paint on my 1980 Evinrude 15.
I spent the last couple of days getting the shop and farm ready for a visit by Anthony Babich. We will be filming (recording) for our ON A FALLING TIDE project later this morning.
And, I am still awaiting the new bearings for the top wheel on my band saw.
My most recent "bench" project , though, was NDR. I have worked with a local farm;and preservation group - Agricultural Stewardship Association - for several years. I have participated in their annual art show fund-raiser - Landscapes for Land's Sake - and also have led bird walks and talks on local farms. When they learned I was too back-logged to have birds for their October show this year, they immediately found another way for me to contribute. So, right after a bird walk - since I had a rule and clipboard right in the Element - we designed a Portable Convertible Lectern on the spot. ASA needed it for September - until 2 weeks ago when they remembered an important event on August 4. So, this took priority for a few mornings:
Here is the base - with the "lip" to hold the upper part.
The upper part can be used by itself on a tabletop if one is handy....
....or it squeezes onto its base for stand-alone use.
I will be rehabbing and re-painting a bunch of gunners shortly - restoring another Hallock Scooter - and carving some new stuff during our 8th month.....
All the best,
SJS
