My favorite thing at this year’s Maker Faire in San Mateo, California, is the Sashimi Tabernacle Choir, an old Volvo sedan with 250 animated fish and lobsters attached to it, all singing and dancing to music. Go to their website and watch the video. It’s hilarious.

Aaron and Keating use this old livestock trailer to move the sheep around. It’s hitched to Keating’s flatbed truck out in our field.

Airborne dust is always a big problem in a power-tool shop such as mine. I recently built a steel and wood shelf to hold my dust filter up in the air above my wood turning lathe. It really helps to keep the air clean.

At the top of the ridge there’s a dip that forms a saddle, or what the Italians call a “col.” There’s a sentinal oak tree at either end of the col, and in this picture I’m standing under one of them looking across at the other.
