Hi,
Keith thanks for the reminder of an excellent resource. From Kim's
posts it seems the conditions in that part of Texas may not allow for many
of those idea be put to use. Too bad foxfire like projects didn't occur in
all regions of the U. S. to preserve the history of the old ways, that way
information pertinent to Kim's location would be available. I'm sure it's
available but it may take hours of research to find it in libraries and
such.
Doug

: Handy Farm Devices and How to Make Them by Rolfe Cobleigh, Orange
: Judd Company, 1910
: Not just nostalgia -- Cobleigh's devices and techniques were good
: answers to common farm problems and they're just as functional and
: useful now as they were then. Make your own workshop tools, a simple
: fence post and stump-puller, fences and gates that don't sag,
: building a farmhouse, barns and outbuildings, a bicycle-powered
: washing machine, a dog-powered pump, a lightweight orchard ladder, a
: portable chicken coop, a stone boat (for moving stone) and much more.
: Cobleigh's out to save you time and money -- a treasure for small
: farmers or homesteaders and anyone wanting to be more
: self-sufficient. Illustrated, good old-style writing, punctuated with
: quotes from Shakespeare or a local farmer, whichever's apt. Workshop
: and Tools, The Steel Square, In and Around the House, Barns and
: Stock, Poultry and Bees, Garden and Orchard, Field and Wood, Gates
: and Doors, When We Build, Worth Knowing. Full text online. With
: thanks to Kirk McLoren.
