Family

I was thinking today about what to write about. I was going to title this article, “children”, and in truth, that is what I intend to write about. Last night, my oldest daughter and I were by a fire. We were burning up some waste wood infected with mold. This task is quite easy, givenContinue reading “Family”

Oyster knives

Today I was wondering about what I should write to you. I mean to stick to my plan. After a little thought, I remembered you have never seen the knives I recently made. This was a lot of fun. A good friend of mine needed a pair of knives for shucking oysters. He had theContinue reading “Oyster knives”

Hearth

Among many jobs and duties, I have neglected to write. Having recently been reminded of it, I am endeavoring to correct this. In the smithy I am building a new hearth. I took pictures of the process so far as it has gone. There will be a sequel to this with the finished product. InContinue reading “Hearth”

So I recently did something I have never done before. I created a time-lapse video. You can see it on youtube.

Today I am sitting down and writing with no project in mind, just to share some news. The goal is to write to you folksContinue reading “Morning”

Mead

A fun indoor pastime is brewing your own drinks. One of our favorite and most important is mead, or mjod. We brew this once a year, although we still have three gallons left from last year. Around the full moon after the equinox is the time. It used to be called “Vintage Moon”, according toContinue reading “Mead”

Autumn

Greetings and heil, dear readers. How time has flown for me! I wrote you last in spring, and now summer is gone and autumn is here. Our peppers gave a bounteous yield. This winter we will make our own tabasco sauce. We harvested a large crop of okra. Large for us, at least. We gotContinue reading “Autumn”

Springing

Thank you dear readers, for being patient. It has been an eventful winter. Spring is shaping up to be even more eventful. The shop has been re-tooled somewhat, and the process is ongoing. Our side business has now become our full-time endeavor. Martens’ and Sons LLC is now licensed and operating. We have had someContinue reading “Springing”
