Another productive day in the forest
This Tuesday saw another fair weather day in the wood. The team worked hard processing the logs into shingles and attaching them to the Weaving House roof.
Donald and Tony were giving it their all cleaving the logs, so much so that the mallet finally disintegrated. Jon needed two attempts to make them a new one! He made the classic error of sawing too far down into the handle with the first one.
John and Beryl used both shaving horse and carpenter’s plane to finish the shingles to the right size and smoothness.
No matter how fast the team worked we couldn’t keep up with the shingle fixers! They spent a fair time helping us make more or waiting for the next ‘right size’ shingle.
Still at the end of the day we had added substantially to the number of shingles on the roof. Thanks to all that came and helped.
