Workshop Report: Part 8
At the end of the day on Monday, we discovered that this might be our last day of dry skies. After an ok run of luck at Carriage Hill in Ohio, and two nearly flawless weeks in Bainbridge, and ten days of perfect fall weather in Port Jefferson, we fear rain for the days to come.

Left: Until then, Oscar Emanuel is busily pointing pegs, bracketed by the Koehn boys, Rainer (l) and Ansel. Locust pegs were contributed by the nice folks at Northcott Woodturning in Walpole, New Hampshire. We are grateful. Their pegs are holding together nearly every TFG project completed in the past two decades. Below: By the end of the day, Randy Churchill was squaring up this trio of trusses in anticipation of applying purlins and raising the rig as a unit. 
Left: Out behind the foundation, Oscar and Matt are thinking of harvesting this stump to scribe into the front wall (the “curvey wall”) just because they can. |
Leadership Team member Jordan Finch (VA) reflects on his good fortune at being out from under the tent for a few moments. That will change as the weather deteriorates. The long back wall (“straight wall”) is to his right.
TFG events need a lot of planning, not just to keep the regulators happy, but because it’s the right thing to do. We have got an EMT on the crew, and a wilderness rescue type, and we’re just a couple of blocks from the emergency room. So far so good.
