Setting up solar power for my wood shop, wood working, blueberries and more on this awesome day at the off grid homestead.

I hooked up the 3500 watt power inverter which is in my off grid electronics shop. I have not had this connected since I removed all the batteries and wires to connect solar power to our off grid tiny house.

But that meant that my wood shop had no power all this time. I want to get back to work so I finally got the inverter hooked up. Now I have power in my off grid wood shop.

The true test was to see if I could run the table saw. This has the largest start up surge of anything I have out there. It turned on and I was very happy. I am using older golf cart batteries so I was not sure of their capacity. Now I know that I can run anything in my wood shop with no problem.

I used the Tacklife cord reel with 50 feet of cable to run power to my off grid wood shop. I am just finishing a video review of this product and will have that live soon.

In the wood shop I used the band saw to cut open a pine tree burl to see what was inside it. Then I sanded it using a belt sander, followed by a fine sanding with my electric hand sander. All of this was done by the power of the sun.

I plan to use natural materials found on our 18 acre homestead to help supplement our income.

Inside our off grid tiny home Melanie had made homemade bagels and salmon patties. It sure was good!!!!

After dinner we went out to pick blueberries from our own land. The berries are huge and thick this year. In two pickings we already got half as much this year as we did all season last year. With the blueberries being larger, they fill the bucket faster this year.

We hope to put away at least 30 pounds this year. I want to sun dry some to use for pemmican later during the deer season.
