Holy crap, I milked a goat!

I bookmarked her blog.

I wish I lived closer. You could borrow our jigsaw. We've also got a band saw and a table saw and a compound miter saw and the scary saw (circular). Definitely saw enabled in my house. :D

OMG, I should have shared it in my blog - but the best part about building this milking stand is that for the very first time in my life...I used the circular saw ALL BY MYSELF! (I had to go find sunglasses to wear because I don't own goggles). I'm terrified of that saw, but I conquered my fears! I also used the table saw, but that one seems so tame in comparison!

I don't even think I know what a band saw is! :p

I think of it as like a giant scroll saw. We don't have one of those. :rolleyes:

What a great blog! I'll definitely bookmark it once I'm on my home computer so I can keep up with your adventures. Sigh...

Seeing your garden pics makes me want to find the ones I have from mine (pre-bicycle). I miss digging in the dirt. Maybe this fall I will get back to it.

On my Sunday rides on the country roads around Morgan Hill, San Martin, and Gilroy, I pass farms with goats all the time. There are also alpaca ranches. Those critters intrigue me, too. The Home Ec major I was a lifetime ago would love to go from critter to sweater sometime.

Working with power tools is very cool. Another dream of mine is to apprentice with someone who is a fine furniture builder.

I love goats. We had them growing up.

No shortage of saws in our household either... :rolleyes:

I love tools! Hubby and I have our own set of 'em. I have a compound miter saw and he has the jigsaw. He's got the belt sander and I have the drill press. For Christmas I would hunt for a new cool Craftsman tool that I absolutely *had* to have. ;)

The neat thing about being a former sculptress is that I learned to weld. :cool:

Someone teach me to use a chainsaw...

I'm terrified of it :o

And trees coming down across our lane is not an uncommon happening.
