Raising money for the farm

By Johnintegrity, member
Johnny cuts a shouldered mortise

My business donated a small timberframe to raise funds for a non-profit CSA farm. They sold it at auction for $12,000. My business was busy so I needed all the help I could get to build this in my spare time. It was fun to spend time working with the kids I love and showing them what I love to do.

    Great job John! Not only is this a meaningful project on more than one level, you also got some great pics of the kids helping out. I especially like the photo of Josh cutting the mortise while standing on the beams.
