I now could use help with a truck to transport - ?She's also in search of a portable mill (see below), and would be glad to have folks of any age work with her (also see below) - she'll be working out at Jack Simrell's workshop in Etna. 2. yes...scout out tree trunks. would the city be willing to mill any (portable mill) if I wanted to just square anything off for table or seating? 3. I may need assistants but won't know until I get there what construction we will be able to do based on what wood is available. but, we can start asking around. timber framers would be great. also, i was hoping to find young students who would video tape process and take photos for your website in exchange for the experience and credit on website. what do you think? I contacted my friend, Penny Romantic who works at the Youth Bureau and she said there is a group that is already paid for the summer and they may be interested. would you like to call her and see what she suggests? or do you want me to continue to pursue this? it's just a little tough with the long distance calls and 3 hour time difference. 4. Andy is still out of town i guess and they didn't know when he would be back. thanks..you are good with that blackberry Rebecca Thompson Pendulum Studios rebeccathompsonsculpture.com 520.260.0922ph 520.615.8882fx 0 _______________________________________________ For more information about sustainability in the Tompkins County area, please visit: http://www.sustainabletompkins.org/ RSS, archives, subscription & listserv information for: [email protected] http://lists.mutualaid.org/mailman/listinfo/sustainabletompkins Questions about the list? ask [email protected] free hosting by http://www.mutualaid.org
