We’ve gotten smaller tool chests for Steve’s silver arts and investigated some more portable heat sources. Now we’re figuring out the best seating and work surface in our T@B set-up. On a glorious spring day in Florida we set up in the shade in our dining area behind the trailer to make some lapis earrings and several yards of fine Rambouillet yarn.
