sweet spring

finally after the reoccurring late snows, cold rains and last nastiness of winter, a solid block of seventy-degree spring stuck around. having spent most my recent free hours delving into a replication of a railing for the second largest private residence in america, i was happy to hand off the completed item and spend a day cleaning.

hosing off dusty window screens, washing windows, dumping out the loose dirt and bark from the woodbox, pumping out the cistern, emptying out the drawer in the composting toilet, vacuuming, dusting, anything to get set for warmer days. changing gears felt necessary and satisfying.

plenty more to do, doors and windows to install, trimwork to be fashioned, wedding gifts to be made. but another time for all that. today is rest, sunshine and a cold beer (or three).

  1. I always did admire your ambitious and productive nature. Glad you’ve found spring at last…

  2. I put your site in my favorites a few years ago and quit lookin’ at it a few years ago since there wasn’t any new work to admire. Well, a few years later I check back and still no new work to admire. I’ll check back in a few years. If I had a web site someone would probably write a similar note concerning my lack of new metal work to admire. See you in ‘07.

  3. During my visit we’ll be sure to flex out some new digital pics for the site so good old Ron and the rest of your adoring fans will have something to look at. If it’s only your outhouse corncob whittling or candid snaps of topsecret drunken metalsmith boxing, so be it.

  4. Hi. In the future I’m going to keep here links to their sites. But I do not worry about the sites where my link is removed. So if you do not want to see a mountain of links, simply delete this message. After 2 weeks, I will come back and check.
