Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmarShort break in the rain. Well timed, started pouring again as soon as we got back inside.
Tomorrow promises to be better again. Good, there's so much to do!
Amazon RestoreYes, we are really growing junglesop at Finca Del Soul!

Teeth! Got some spare teeth for a spring-tooth harrow. So in theory they should be pretty durable.
Special challenge: Cutting curves with an angle grinder 😆
My tack welds did not withstand hydraulic gripping power and the teeth flew off at the first test, so I welded them on properly to try picking up a small concrete beam.
Clearly when its done I will need some practice with this new thumb as I picked up way too much soil with the beam. The thumb works though 🥳
Bunch more detail work to do, make holes for the other adjustment points, finish the pins, cut excess material off the sides and weld reinforcement pieces for the fangs. Maybe some serrated "back teeth".

Finally could resume work on the thumb after an unexpected shortage of welding wire. 😳
First job was to add in the connecting pieces between the two sides. A thick piece of flat bar at the top to leave space for the support leg when extended. And a box section to handle shear forces near the tips when grabbing an asymmetricl item such as a rock.
Wire brushed and finish welded the body of the thumb without distorting it too much.
Then I started on the adjustment holes for the sliding support leg. Welded in a reinforcement tube, which is a lot of work. It'll be a lot more holes to saw for the other adjustment points later. Perhaps I overdesigned it a little, but hopefully I'll get some use out of the adjustability.

🌜Lady Marzanna🌛 God of Dough- #Farming, #permaculture, or #animalhusbandry experience is a bonus, but not required. All knowledge can be learned!
Most won't make the cut, but maybe you'll surprise me.
Lesser subs can make my dreams happen from a distance via #throne & #youpay.

But Marzanna if I buy you your Dommune #homestead do I get to live on it?
If you're my owned #submissive sure! You must:
- Actively contribute to my finances now & after the homestead purchase
- Uphold a STELLAR D/s dynamic with me, minimum 6 mo training.
- Remain gainfully employed or otherwise financially stable
- Be physically able to contribute to manual labor consistent with homesteading.
- Be willing & able to live commune style with my friends
Made a thing I saw some Youtuber use. Its as useful as it looked, and easy to make.
Couple bits cut off a rusty rod, cleaned up and welded together as letter "h" and voila, a webbing winder for use with a battery drill.
Instead of a tangled mess in a bucket, I've got my cargo straps ready for next use in record time. Should also work with the firehose, but I haven't tried that yet.
If you're making one, two tips:
1. The short leg should be terminating before the long leg reaches the bottom so it can be used against a flat surface. About 5-10mm shorter.
2. The legs should be slightly narrower at the bottom than at the top, to make it easy pulling the tool out of a tight roll when done.

BabalugatsJust bought an incubator.. Now what?
Pumped up the slow leaking tyres (two now - price to pay for all this scrapmetal I find), fired up the mownster and zoomed through the garden to redistribute some grass.
Had a sunny day after a lot of rain so the stuff grows like crazy.
Two piles around some replanted bushes, a couple raked over some bare spots and the rest for the compost mountain, which has been fed with mostly woodchips and grass cuttings last year and produced plenty of compost from that.
