--Process-- Making Handmade Custom Knives and Tools
We’ve found that the recovered materials to build knives and tools are of a higher quality than what you can buy. It takes work and time to process recovered materials. Unique, premium quality knives and tools for the quality of life.
The process
In 1997 we left Vancouver BC and moved to make art and work.
We live and work with the sun.
Tracking the sun.
We have 4 small solar power systems. One is 416 watts of panel on a tracker for the shop and cabin, the second is a portable 200 watt unit powering freezers, a third one is a simple static 75 watt panel for the well pump and music and the fourth is 500 watts of panel on a tracker. We designed and built the trackers. Each system is independent of each other. https://aki-and-scott-fireweed.blogspot.com/2021/12/living-with-solar-power-for-25-years.html
