I headed out of the door at around 9:20 am today for the studio. I worked for a hour or so in my studio working on the guide book that I will carry with me in my experiment. Then when my friend, Mano, is finish with his regular work in his woodshop, I went over and with him, we had started to work on the tool kits. The tool kits is surely coming together fast under the instruction and help from Mano. I would say that we are about 25% done. It is a great start on the building today. I will be meeting with him tomorrow again to continue to work on the project.
cutting out space for the different compartments.
Making small fire work... haha, not really, I was griding the tip of the nail.
I am always fascinate with people that can build with their own hand and simple tools, something that we use daily, like tables, bed, clothes, books, houses, shelves and many other things. I am always amazing at their knowledge to create, to create something that they need and that can sustain them. I want to learn how to build a cabin; I want to learn how to build those simple furniture that Mano can builds so easily; I want to learn how make my own cloths; I want to learn how to grow food and store food for the winter. I want to, one day in the future that I can say I am able to make all the tools, "things", that I truly need to live, to survival and to be a true human being. I want to be sustainable, radically, in the sense that I can live and survive as a true human being with only my bare hands, my community and the majestic nature around me without my harm to anything, and anyone. I want to able to do that someday. I want to.
Few pictures of my studio, the grape plant and the beautiful window:
I was helping Mano to cut some grapes leafs that had made its way into my studio through the window, to make some "grapes leaf"
Thanks for reading again.
All the best
