Day 2 of the great ramp-rebuild. The weather was sunny, hot, and hot and sunny! The boards went down though. The knifemaker's aunt did her best to shuttle water, hold boards to be cut, parcel out screws and hold a beach umbrella over the knifemaker as he positioned, measured, and screwed piece by piece until the mid-deck and entry ramp floor was done. Tomorrow morning brings the railing and vertical posts....just in time for re-opening the shop and the first two students who arrive to build railroad spike knives at 10am. In the knife world, that's considered cutting it close!
