I actually have a wood lathe and all the other tooling to make one, not that I would.
I’ve been fixing the place up since August. It’s a farm that hasn’t been properly maintained in about 20 years.
I’m doing my best to build to the standard of the original owner and his son with modern materials and methods. It’s a humbling experience. Nothing is quite square but everything is built like it’s bomb proof. You couldn’t afford to build out of solid wood like they did. The joints and meets are also super tight, you can’t get a sheet of paper between roof boards on the barn in most places.
