Milo’s Handcrafted Plane
Milo reporting from Northern Children
It all started with me making a different style of airplane. You see, I saw my wing to my other plane. I thought the wing woud be a perfect spine to the new design. So, I found this thin piece of wood to be the new wing. Then, I put a hole in the spine with the drill press. Papa held the wood, while I cranked the handle.
Then I thought of this idea to put bombs on it. So I found this dowel and marked out the measurement on the wing. My dad let me use his belt sander, before I cut the dowel to make the points on the bombs. I made a point, then cut it off with the saw. I did this 4 times. Then, I glued the bombs onto the plane and let it dry.
Here is what I came up with:

Two Pigs and a Rooster
We got a couple of Pigs this year! They are way too fun!
One pig will go to the Marquette County Fair and the other is the “family pig”.
We had a bit of time before we got our pigs to make a temporary pen in our hoop house.
We decided to build a temporary pen until the snow melts, then we will put up fencing and a moveable shelter elsewhere. Mojo and the kids got to work with pallets as walls inside the hoop.
Below is the piggy bed.
Seeds n’ Spores Family Farm went to pick up all the pigs…13 of them total and brought them back to the farm. Six of the pigs will end up being “Fair” pigs.

We brought our own bins, so we will dump the bags and weigh accordingly.
