I can't begin to tell you how many times he's taken electronics apart and made something else that worked - and he was only 7 or 8 years old. (Made an alarm for his bedroom door so his sisters couldn't sneak into his room! lol) <br />Great job! And gave me some ideas that I can do around here.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414690312305496399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7373525592618391216.post-32565540428846913042013-01-19T19:32:38.375-05:002013-01-19T19:32:38.375-05:00I just read this, and all I can say is "Right...I just read this, and all I can say is "Right On, Booker!" I just started making cheese about 2 years ago as a retirement hobby (beautiful wife gave me a kit for Christmas), and I've made a couple of different cheeses, and a couple of wall presses, but I'm still a little cautious. <br />That's the great thing about Booker; at his age - fearless!

I am hoping to copy your design and build be a new one. I will call it the "Booker Press". Your work is very inspiring. I hope to try your cheese one day. Keep it up.

After several emails, he told me his Mom would have to drive him as he was only 11! He is wonderful, resourceful, kind, and a million other adjectives I can think of but don't have the time or space to type. Booker is a wonderful young man, and I am incredibly lucky to have two of my does in his young and growing herd.Lynn Fleminghttp://www.lynnhavennubians.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7373525592618391216.post-71236871330063936632012-11-15T20:57:28.785-05:002012-11-15T20:57:28.785-05:00What a cool kid!
