Jacob has been asked to step into the Centre Workshop, in the Joinery each morning in order to train the three carpenters. First he had to go buy the basic tools so that each of them could have their own tool box. This is something that has been on Jacob's heart to help with for a long time, so he is quite excited to work with these guys! And they are happy to learn!
Learning to make safe consistent cuts on the table saw.
Review the days work with his assistants.
Almost finished for the day!
Making sure the joinery is ready for the next day.
Excy and Beldin learning to make and install awnings over windows to keep the tropical rains out.
They did a great job!
Now onto doors. Simple but sturdy! Beldin, Excy and Ganino are learning fast.
They have even started working on floors. The guys have a great ability to learn and absorb new skills and apply them quickly.
Learning to pay attention to details is something that can be very difficult to learn. The guys are really working hard to make a great product. Taping off the floor before applying paint to the baseboard really puts a great touch on the look of the floor and the craftsmanship the guys are displaying.
If anyone would like to come train or manage maintenance projects we have a great need! Please come join us!
In the afternoons he tries to work on the guesthouse and the projects he have going around there, or just fixing something that has just broken.
