We had an incredible weekend at the Hillcrest Farm
Shop in Windham. Attendance was a little higher than last week with 13 members
ready to work. A few of us got there a little earlier than expected and helped
get work stations set up. After a brief meeting we got started. I am not exactly
sure what happened. I walked out of the shop for a minute. When I came back in
the sawdust and blocks were flying.
Wayne Devoe, and Jamie Mason helped Clayton Hoak do
some routing. The boards were then handed off to a pair of miter saws. John
Ellingwood Sr. sawed as fast as Charlie Huntington could feed him the wood.
Rowland Turgeon was on the other end catching blocks. Dick Brown of Hannaford
Trucking packed the blocks into Banana Boxes that his company had donated.
Lars Ohman manned the other saw (reportedly a
Christmas Gift) as Steve Marshall caught the blocks and Don Munsey packed
those.
The only thing that stopped production was
the diminished wood supply.
Tammy Devoe made a run for some ear plugs and
Safety glasses for current and future workshops. Diane Savage was on hand
as well to keep us all in line.
Dick Brown brought some donuts to go along with the
coffee and water that was on hand. Somehow some Bananas slipped in. I am not
sure who brought these but they were certainly appreciated by a few. Great Idea
whoever it was.
As for me, I can't say that I really did much. I
just stayed out of the way for the most part. It is so great seeing everyone
work together and get this project done
