Here is my small woodrick inspired by the folks at Plimoth Plantation. With a small door to admit the chickens.

Dressing a plank of red oak. The radius of the iron leaves tracks.
The iron with a pail-bottom radius takes heavy shavings.
Chainsaw-milled and well seasoned,
Cut just north of the heart with enough character to remain functional.
Utilizing the natural contours of our native black walnut within confines of a more strict geometry.

I repurposed my first moveable paddock shed on sleds, so I built a new one. This one has open walls for breeze and more shade area for the sheep. The goats don’t use them much, unless it rains. The sheep don’t mind the rain, but like to have some shade. Simple and low cost, using mostly salvaged lumber and metal.
Ripping timbers on the bandsaw. The timbers were roughed out with the chainsaw 2 years ago from some salvaged cypress logs.
Traditional clamp.
Cypress and 2×4’s
Pulled behind the tractor from paddock to paddock.
My 5 year old son Obediah helped me document the sawing of a hefty locust log yesterday. The creative shot above is one of his.
My son asked, “can you get that little man down?” He sits on a shelf in my workshop.
When I wanted to be a ventriloquist my Granddad guided me in building this fellow.
He is very good at yelling and being surprised.
Simple but effective pivoting jaw and head, and swinging limbs.
