A fronte praecipitium a tergo lupi: Camping with Nathan
http://mementonombre.blogspot.com/2015/08/camping-with-nathan.html
A fronte praecipitium a tergo lupi. Wednesday, August 12, 2015. Some weekend, a couple or few weeks ago, Nathan and I took a hike up to the Shindagen lean-to. The following pictures are not really in order, but that doesn't really matter. We had a great time until it started thundering and POURING down rain in the evening and into the night. Even then, it wasn't so bad, but we did get wet and did NOT get the best nights sleep. Indian pipe, a parasitic plant. Monotropa uniflora. I thought Grandma Cressman...

Posted January 21, 2011 by slothlike in kids in the workshop. Kids in the workshop. Children’s brains are sponges. They are learning every minute, but what are we teaching them if they live in front of a screen? TV is passive, what are you actually doing when you watch it? One of the biggest problems I have with student who aren’t learning is ...

Ramblings about wood, tools, and the stuff I make. Laquo; Kids in the Workshop – Safety. Posted January 30, 2011 by slothlike in Workbench. I really like the Nicholson type benches, here’s an example. I drew at least a dozen variations and what I came up with looks almost exactly like Henry’s bench. Which was posted at the Logan Cabinet Shoppe. Henry's Bench as seen at Logan Cabinet Shoppe. Shop time has been limited lately. I needed a break from the world, so last night I stayed up way later than I ...

First off, use your common sense. This isn’t an exhaustive list, it’s just the stuff that I could think of. The number one thing is to use your common sense. Tools and woodworking can be dangerous if it isn’t done correctly, make sure your child is safe. And bought some similar ones for myself. Arts and Mystery ...

Tagged: kids in the workshop. I started assembling the sawbench. I decided to try Miller Dowels. Instead of screws. I thought the toddler would enjoy whacking them in as we built something together, plus shop projects are a good place to try something new. Almost all of my clamps. Kit and a couple more Clamps.

Ramblings about wood, tools, and the stuff I make. Laquo; February Update. Lie-Nielsen Hand Tool Event. Posted April 16, 2011 by slothlike in Tools. Wow I am tardy. A month ago I went to the Minneapolis version of the Lie-Nielsen hand tool event. After reading other blog reports I was incredibly excited. My wife didn’t even tell me I couldn’t buy anything – but she did remind me that we have another financial obligation on the way. The first thing I checked out was the sharpening. He tore it out my hands...

A fronte praecipitium a tergo lupi: September 2014
http://mementonombre.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
A fronte praecipitium a tergo lupi. Monday, September 1, 2014. Mom and dad come to visit. Mom and Dad came to visit last week, and we couldn't have planned a better way to wrap up our summer. Indy has found the bean tipis to her liking. They offer shade, a spot to supervise, and of course, beans. I lost many beans, most of my peas, and all of my grapes to this predator. Mom and Dad and I hit some antique malls mid week and saw lots of cool old stuff. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Old Dogs, New Tricks!

A fronte praecipitium a tergo lupi: July 2014
http://mementonombre.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
A fronte praecipitium a tergo lupi. Saturday, July 19, 2014. Getting ready for winter. On my first real day of summer vacation Jonas and I went out to Pat's to make firewood. Jonas did some great supervising, as usual. Man, it feels good to see the fruits of your labour. Sick tree standing. Sick tree felled. Felled tree bucked. Bucked wood split. Split wood stacked. Done. Now, who deserves a vanilla milkshake? Friday, July 18, 2014. So sehen sieger aus, Shalalalala, So sehen sieger aus, Shalalalalalalala.

A fronte praecipitium a tergo lupi: April 2015
http://mementonombre.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
A fronte praecipitium a tergo lupi. Monday, April 20, 2015. Home on the range. We're now solidly into the spring (thankfully) and have been outside a lot. We get out in the winter, too, and we try not to complain about it, but the warm sun really gets us going. What follows are a few photos of our recent weeks since we got back from Philadelphia. Don't worry, I always have attentive supervision. I had to rehang my favorite limbing axe, too. I love this little axe, and learned, again, about using the ...
