Wood crafting, gardening, and cold plunging

Natasha here!

People frequently ask for painting tips. I tried sharing them on a FB page, but the algorithm doesn't show the posts since the page is so small. It's annoying for me (I put in the work and no one knows) and annoying for the people who want to see this content (because they never get to see it!)

I've decided to start a new 'Community' hosted in a space that's available to me thanks to my printables and education blog.

This new Community doesn’t hide things based on an algorithm. Instead, it just shows things in order. Like how the internet used to be. 😅 

You can log in with Google or Apple to join in conversation, or you can lurk without logging in at all.

We hope to see you in the new Community! community.raptive.com/appalachianwoodhomestead?u=a…

We just posted a new homestead woodworking tutorial on the “other” channel!

We're happy to announce that Angel will be teaching with Plane Wellness! Nothing too complicated but just simple enough to get your gears turning.

Plane Wellness is an organization based around mental health and the resilience that woodworking provides. Turns out wood doesn’t argue back 😜. We're hoping to continue hosting carving classes through this group as it stands for something that hits home for us.

Btw, if you have a disability or are a disabled veteran, your registration fee is waived.
Let's carve a Santa Clause!

Trying something new with this latest stencil! Folks are always having trouble finding the links in the YT description and several people have asked for some written directions and still images.

We put together a blog post for the latest carving tutorial. (Don't worry - the full length video is there, too!). Stop by and let us know what you think: togethertimefamily.com/nativity-manger-wood-carvin…
