It's that time of year once more... almost spring! It's our busiest time of year in the shop as our customers all want their projects open in May or June at the latest. But it is also my favourite time of he year to be outdoors. With today being a holiday in BC (Family Day) the shop was quiet. With the sun shining bright and temps nice an warm it was the perfect day to do the first lawn mowing of the year.
Ideas not yet used
I have a thick file on my desk named 'ideas not yet used'. This file contains sketches and notes of ideas and themes we have yet to build. There are so many ideas and so little time...
Like new!
The One Track Wheelbarrow is now painted with a shiny coat of yellow paint. It looks very shiny and new, like it would have when it came from the factory. Next week we fix that as we begin the aging process, adding plenty of grime and wear and lots of rust too. By the time we are done it will look like an artifact, telling the story of many, many years of hard use in the mine where it worked.
