Life on the farm

[Big Barn]

Four minutes from home ( two minutes sitting at traffic lights ) were these wooden shipping crates offered as free firewood.

I picked the ones designed for forklifts and hand trucks or had handles.

I made sure I found the corresponding lids too.

A few of them are suitable for shipping my bigger vises if need be.

Other than that they may make cute storage units.

My apologies to the OP. I had meant to post in my "Shop Thread " but I guess it looked like it was more fun over here.

Buckeye's pics of his family, taken several decades ago intrigue me. I find myself looking at the clothing worn. But mostly I'm looking in the background at any manmade object. People lived hard back then "on the farm".

Here's a picture I cherish. This was taken in Germany. My Great Grandparents sold this farm in Germany and immigrated to the U.S. Ending up in Northern Iowa. I don't know the date accurately. Would have been mid 1800s.
