“Forge Raisingâ€
Posted: Wed Jul 02, 2008 9:02 pm
Saint Mary’s County, Maryland
Summer Work Session Objectives:
Primary objective will be the new forge building, with a secondary work party working with the power boat under Leonard. Anything else depends upon skill and imagination. (Please keep it creative and legal!)
Schedule:
Friday morning I'll be pulling supplies, so if you plan to come Friday, please come around noon.
Friday evening I will need to retreat to Grey Havens (400 feet away) to watch Amanda; drinks, snacks and light fireworks to follow.
Saturday seems to be the primary day; but there should be some work on Sunday, from about noon to 4:00.
Some sort of seafood feast, preferably with crabs (if affordable) is planned for Saturday night, we'll poll the crew.
Facilities:
Camping is available on site; and there are lots of motels in Lexington Park. We'll have shade, a tent fly, tables, chairs, drinking water and a porta-potty at the work site.
Tools:
No power yet, although we can plug-in over at Grey Havens; or if you have 400 feet of 12 ga. electric outdoor extension cord… Bring hand tools, and battery powered drills and saws could prove very useful.
Layout of the Farm:
Everything to the right of the dirt lane has been sold out of the family. I still have access top the old forge (“the stripping houseâ€
