They have three children, two boys and a girl, none of whom are involved with the farming operation. “My first love is the land and Holstein cows, and my second is woodworking,” says Jaye, who went to night school in 1971 to Jeam the craft He had heard a lot of talk about diversifying, and thought that woodworking would be “a pleasant supplement” In 1981 he built a large Morton shed which is a combination farm shop, machinery shed and wood working shop. All the shop machinery is on wheels, all the lights on swivels. He has built six full-sized grandmother clocks here, restored various pieces of furniture for customers, and built a mantel clock which won first place at the Franklin County Fair in 1984. SAM STOLTZFUS 3184 A Mill Lane On Leacock Road In Gordonville, PA 17529 North of Paradise 'A Mile OH Rt. 30 Custom Made Sign Poets His current project is restoring an antique rowboat for a customer. “It was junk when I started with it,” he related. “I have about 45 hours of labor in it” The fourteen foot long boat is at least 75 years old and seats five or six people. It is covered with fiberglass, a material he had never worked with before. “I took it on as a challenge,” he said. His favorite piece of shop equip ment is the lathe. “When I want to relax, I play with the lathe,” he said. He learned the technique from a craftsman at the Franklin County Fair several years ago, and can turn anything from small thim bles and bells to baby rattles on it. He needs to keep current with such fine work. “If you don’t turn any thing for two weeks,” he explained, “then, when you go back to it, you think something’s wrong with the machinery; it’s that touchy.” Jaye is also a fan of old farm machinery. He has a 1968 John Deere 4020 which he cleaned and Phone Shantys Made To Order painted and now uses often in his farming operation. He also has a small antique twelve horsepower John Deere H series tractor which he plans on restoring. “It doesn’t need much done to it,” he said. The farmhouse contains a blend of the talents of both spouses. The kitchen cupboards and refinished antiques are Jaye’s handiwork. Daisy’s paintings, for which Jaye made the frames, hang in every room. They love their home and its tree-shaded grounds and have no plans to move anywhere else. “We’d feel penned up if we moved to a house,” Jaye said. “We’ll just Forklift for Rent By Appointment A & J Fencing All kinds of fence.
