Been watching the local rafter of turkeys tidy up under the bird feeder.

Sure, in the Fall most any large parking has a roaster going and you can get a gunny sack full of fresh roasted green chile. Now it is available as frozen or powdered or in a restaurant.

Long cruise - I think our local gobblers are Mirriams altho I have seen hybrids around here as well.

Happy new Year everybody. My shop-life 2023 with tillering something angular...still needs a tiny little more tweaking 🤗

simk · January 02, 2023, 05:31:36 PM

Think I finally figured it out now 🤗

Hung a new rack in the attic for staves and billets. I have over 50 bows worth up there. Last time I cut was 2011 so they are pretty seasoned. I have 3 up there from the first or second MOJam. Someday I'll get the cajones to make something out of them.

Since Roy cut my legs out on the 2022 What did you do today thread, I will move this over here.

AH, is there a link to that article and the kiln details?

Thanks,

Here you go.

Google Solar Kilns or Virginia Tech Solar kiln. Article is on several places.

This design can be scaled down to smaller sizes as well.

Sorry Mark, but it all worked out:)

I got half my Festool package today. The CT26 vacuum came, waiting on the sander now. That and drier weather....

Stagmitis · January 05, 2023, 08:29:28 AM
