I’ve put up a big cabinet for my tools and a shelf for my spray paint and elastic bands. I’m still working on storage for my knives and scissors and otherContinue reading “Building My Workshop”

Today we got a ride on Jeep. We got it so I can build stuff out of cardboard to put on the car. I used to make stuff on our wagon but it had to be pulled by a scooter. All there is for a roof is a front windshield, so I’m going to extendContinue reading “Ride On Jeep”

I am reading a book about the history of mills that were powered by water wheels. Some of the mills I’ve read about were saw mills, fulling mills, and grist mills. Saw mills contained two water wheels. The first wheel was called a flutter wheel and operated the up-and-down saw while driving the log intoContinue reading “Mills”
