“I have a well equipped metal shop, a well equipped wood shop”

Ditto, plus I’m trying to wrap up my latest book manuscript (historical woodworking) and my nearest permanent neighbor is a mile away. It is finally springtime in the Appalachians so Mrs. Crusher is spending her days working in the gardens when it is sunny or making butter, yogurt, cheese, etc. when it s not sunny.

Today is just another day that ends in “Y” for us.

Have you tried to bore and rifle a barrel? That is a "high craving" for me.
