fellow workers
Sep. 1st, 2014 08:10 pmIn honor of Labor Day, I listened to Utah Phillips this evening. I figured it was fitting to listen to the "Fellow Workers" album that Ani made with him while I was drilling a 4 inch hole through an inch and a half thick piece of oak by hand.
I did get the last of the holes drilled in the whiskey/water barrels and got the hardware in. The last two barrels I had to drill by hand because the oak killed my electric drill. It's easy to drill an 7/8 hole with the bit brace. It's not easy to drill a 4" hole with a hand brace. It took more revolutions than are in the history of Central America!
The barrels are complete! I've got one in place already and just have to put the foundation bricks in place for the other three. I did haul them across the yard with the hand truck today and put them more or less in place. Now I have room in the barn to move around. The barrels have been in the way for about a month and it's nice to have floor space again.
