Slowly but surely.
All we've done so far is have the kids debarking, sawing and splitting the ash we put aside. It will all become tool handles - not wasting it.
A lot of little things to work out. Totally not prepared in spite of the months we had to get prepared. At least I knew it was coming.
Simple stuff. Stuff I had on the list, or on the schedule...

Yes I really want a 6 lbs sledge hammer. No, not an 8 lb. sledge. Day one, brings two 8lb sledges - what I end up doing after they leave - you got it - go to the hardware store and buy a 6 lb sledge. And I'm not supposed to buy anything.

I got a beer says that is nowhere near the last item you will purchase before you are thru. I just think it is very cool you are doing it. That is a lot of time and frustration commitment for sure. While it will be terribly frustrating at times rest assured you are creating a life long memory for the students. And who knows you may light a passion In one of them to pursue a career using their hands. My biggest fear would be trying to keep them all safe, you are herding cats with sharp tools and elevation, what could possibly go wrong?
