I love the door. Love curved doorways, even though they're a pain to construct. I also want to visit Grifftopia someday! I would absolutely love to see a TempCast woodstove and baking oven. And that beautiful woodwork.
 Actually, I may be moving by next year ... maybe have the chance to incorporate a TempCast into a new place? Maybe, if all comes together.

I made something on Saturday. The old black soaker hose had sprung a few huge leaks, and I had similar poor luck with the previous one, so instead of buying another one, I made a new one out of a really old hose we had. I chucked the smallest bit I had into the drill press and drilled clean through the hose and out the other side, once every inch for about 25 feet. Then I capped the end. It works really well.

Just got back from a pal's house where we concentrated 4 gallons of corn/barley beer into a more portable and longer keeping form. It's now about 1½ Qts. Tastes pretty yummy. I may make a small oak barrel to store it in. There's another 5 gallons that has to be reduced as well...

put out by Colonial Williamsburg on coopering, from selecting a tree to the finished barrel. The link goes to short clips of the full length video. I highly recommend watching it as an entirely humbling experience.

Griff, I should think all the sets for Thrones and Vikings would yield some spiffy hardware, when they move on to the next big thing.

There is a sulky cultivator in the woods, maybe a steam punk door opening system?
