I feel very blessed that I am able to work in a shop. It may not sound like anything amazing to most people, but I have don't alot of work outside under a tree. Now that I am inside, with no wind, and proper lighting..I am definitely taking advantage of it.
When I first arrived on the farm here in Northern Michigan we didn't have much. We are nomads, and we live pretty minimally. That included my tools. Over a bit of time I started to add what I needed to get things done, and that includes most of the things that I would need to make knives.
The shop where I work was stacked up waste deep in stuff. There was stuff everywhere and not much order at all. The previous farm hand didn't seem to be invested in the idea of improving, but just maintaining. I am sure that work got done in the overly full shop, but maybe it is just me...I like order.
I spent many hours building, sorting, organizing, clearing, cleaning, and adding order to the shop. I even added many lights. Originally there were only three lights in there, and now there are about twelve! I can see everything!!! Since I use LED bulbs I am able to run all of those lights and barely use the same amount of energy as the three previously.
I am really excited to see what I can do here. I think that I may need to get some sort of heater in there so I can break the chill in the real dead of winter. For now, I will just bundle up and get some things done!
Be well
