Nothing to see here, just a little fetch with Copper Pot in the snow. We already have over 2 inches here in Bakersville and the roads are pretty bad. Everyone stay safe out there, and if you need heat ir fuel for heat let me or someone else know! There are plenty of free resources our there to keep WNC warm folks, don't go cold!
Got the wiring finished and had to give it a test run. This old girl is a beast! I was just using a piece of scrap poplar but it turned out to be a rather pretty spalted piece. Firewood pile for the win! Will finish it up tomorrow. Full video of the lathe and shop build soon on my youtube channel.
Be safe out there folks! When the rain starts to sound like this and bounce off of stuff, we'll, nothing good happens!
The 8000BTU Mr Heater just didn't do enough to heat the shop for my old bones! This 18000BTU version does the trick! Comfortable enough to work in 20 minutes and almost to hot in 1 hour 20 minutes. Now to finish the bowl turning studio in comfort!

What a difference a few months makes! Bakersville, NC on September 27th and today on December 4th. The snow makes everything look so clean and fresh. #HurricaneHelene #WNCStrong
HOW GOOD DO THEY WORK? I have seen lots of them around silver Hurricane Helene but now I get to see one in action. Thanks Nick Hatshaw for hooking me up with heat for my shop!! Money is tight for everyone in this area now and having this heater means I can finish my shop to start making some money again!
Well, the >1" of snow in the forcast? Looks like we might end up with 3-4 by end of the day and single digit wind chills tonigh! Stay warm and if ANYONE needs heat or supplies to get heat let me know!
226 North from Bakersville to Sprucepine. Be careful folks. The roads are already getting a little slick
Hey Mitchell County residents, I had some folks who are out of town send us pictures and video of these people a few minutes ago. I personally talked to Sherrif Street and he said he knew of no government tax assessors or anyone else that should be checking people's door handles to see if it is locked and to report any sightings to the Mitchell County Sherrifs Department. I am not going to say these people are up to no good, but with all the craziness that has happened in our area the past few months, better safe than sorry. If the are not legit I have full confidence in Sherrif Street and his boys to handle things. If you have any information contact the Mitchell County Sherrifs Department.
Own a memento of Appalachian strength and fighting spirit!

From destruction to beauty: trying to make sense of it all. My name is Aaron Best and I am a local artist residing in Bakersville, NC. This is the first piece I have completed from material from Helen's aftermath. It is my way of trying to take something good and beautiful from the destruction that devistated our beautiful mountains 6 weeks ago. I made it from a very ugly washed up hickory root ball and stones from the little Mine Creek in Bakersville l, NC that turned into a raging river on September 27th. The making of this bowl will also be featured in an upcoming video on my YouTube Channel Aarons Appalachian Eclectic. I will have more bowls/sculptures coming available soon with the same theme.
Like all local artists my biggest money making season was taken away by Helen. I encourage everyone that can to support local artists this holiday season and give a meaningful gift from the heart!
