William C Allen, Errington, BC, Musician Photographer Farmer Artist


I am an eclectic person. I like to do a lot of different things, but at base I'm a creator.
I grew up on a farm on the Canadian Prairies.
On a farm, you learn a lot of different things, fixing machines, fixing diesel engines, gas engines, small engines, building sheds, barns, granaries, fences, corals, operating trucks, heavy machines, tractors, skid steers, excavators,raising cows, pigs, chicken, horses, gardening, composting, milling animal feed, butchering animals cooking, and so much more.

Below is brief list of subjects you can expect to see from me.

Spring has sprung! I’ll be doing tons of outside work gardening, keeping the acreage in control, building, repairing. Expect to see a variety of posts, and plenty of wood working projects.

Spring is on the horizon. This has been the longest below zero stretch since I moved here. But temperatures are around 10 during the day now. I’m back in shop. I have a lot of interesting things happening, stay tuned!

The weather has been dismal, so I’ve been unable to move forward with any projects.
My shop is unheated, and while I can, and, do woodwork with no heat when below 0, I can’t do any painting or glue-ups.
So, no new video.
Now it’s Christmas
so the next video will likely be after New Years.
I hope you all have a peaceful holiday with loved ones and friends

New video up today! Part 8 of the Astronomy box build.
This series is meant to show a simple box build.
and emphasize the basic techniques needed to make accurate builds.
The result will be a plain simple utilitarian box.
And, for beginners, I hope they walk away with an idea that they can build anything by focusing on basics and attention to detail.
