A workhorse of a building kept interesting at different scales with details! For my good friends at Common Harvest Farm in Osceola.
Lots of people helped out with this one! Thanks all around!

Last year I cut a harvest shed frame for some great people, and this year I am cutting a new frame for them under its roof. Much has changed for me in this past year, but that beautiful frame remains all but unchanged. Fruits of labor, indeed.
Here’s to recognizing all the transience and permanence in our world, and learning to accept and celebrate it.

I really like using a cleat to hang heavy things with. It transforms the horrible experience of either trying to hold something massive in position and drive screws simultaneously or having an innocent bystander help you into a simple, accurate, even pleasant experience!

Thanks again to my boss Clark for the shop space, Steve at Butcher Block Furniture for the walnut, Mike, Mike, Lefty, Boris, Jen, and everyone else!
