Hand tool Tuesday. We had enough firewood for this past winter, but ran out of kindling. Not this year! I got 4 huge rounds of clear cedar from a neighbor and will split it up for fire starter this year. The froe will make short work of the quartered rounds. #handtooltuesday #splittingwood #froe #cedar #ludditelifeskills #choppingwoodmakesyouwarmtwice #kindling

A still for "extracting lavender oil" or making moonshine. I really like the shape of this one. #moonshine #still #roadtrip #ludditelifeskills (at The Lavender Connection)

Rams horn curl (for my Aries wife) mounting brackets. These are for the huge stone tomb effigy she got for her birthday. They will hold it to the wall. #handwrought #blacksmith #squarebolts #formywife #ludditelifeskills #fireandiron #handcrafted (at Pratt Fine Arts Center)
