Right down to the calendar on the wall...spent a little time on this building and contents.

Thanks!!!

Working on another now that had been waiting on wood lathe table. Spent the last couple of weeks making the four walls....just now getting those assembled.
Your body is not a temple. It’s an amusement park. Enjoy the ride.

The more you look......the more you see. The open framework on the backwall, the display case on the counter, polished wear marks on the vice mechanism and tons of other details that could have easily been left out............nice job! I really like that scythe on the wall.

Yup, definitely a good subject for "I spy with my little eye...".

I got 2 of those - brass castings from whoever? - and had been waiting for a place to use 1. My father had a Walck grain cradle (https://www.facebook.com/greencastlemus ... 771991558/ -- yes, the one they have is from my father's collection) so I've got this thing for the large scythe and cradle tools.

Who's that in the calendar???? :wink: :wink:
