​Here be a vast treasure of tall tales, as told by

​the Argo Builder

Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild, with a faery, hand in hand, for the world's more full of weeping than you can understand. -Yeats, from "The Stolen Child”

What's New:

• Cover photo: Making an Alphorn:​ Alpenhorns make a beautiful sound, and I wanted to play one, so I set out to make one myself. You can follow the construction of my Alphorn here.
• Building a hand-cut stone arch from local stone.
• I built a "Book nook" which is a little hidden alley into the imagination, between the books on my bookshelf. Here's how I built it.
• Exploring the unforgiving Wisconsin western shore of Lake Michigan from Manitowoc to Algoma and back on a small boat
• The "Alexandra" steam launch model is complete! She features a fully functioning oscillating steam engine.
• The new outdoor blacksmith shop is done, including hand cut stone arch. I just finished a small hatchet with a white oak handle
