Projects

Since we have moved to the ranch, the boys always seem to have projects they are working on. Here are some of the things they have made.

Jasper was inspired by Uncle Jason to weld some horseshoe men. Jasper consigned them at Capriola's, a cowboy/saddle shop in Elko. He eagerly hopes they will sell.

Jasper has also been doing some leather work. This is a design he did with a swivel knife.


Justin can talk Jerry, the mechanic, into making anything, so he has made a go cart and a sled.


He has also made a table and candle holders.

Joseph had Jasper help him make stilts.


All of the boys have made their own knives.

Sage wanted a knife too, but she was more interested in trying her hand at some embroidery.

Last, but not least, is the glorified riding lawnmower affectionately named Red Bucky. The boys have painted it, put a hood ornament on it, found and painted a trailer for it, put a suicide knob on the steering wheel and the list could go on. Red Bucky is in the shop right now having alterations made on him so he can go faster. We'll let you know this spring if it goes faster than 2 mph.
