Although this is not me pictured here, I can truly feel this plowman's pain. Plowing with a horse is definitely a job that offers a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day—if you're lucky enough to live through it! This scene offers an appealing setting for a weather station. Once you add the attractive weather instruments you will have a very impressive project - even if you have never experienced plowing behind a horse yourself. 36 INSTRUCTIONS Transfer the pattern to the wood with temporary-bond spray adhesive. Bore the 2-3/8"-Dia. holes to receive the clock movement, barometer, thermometer, and hygrometer as indicated. Drill all blade entry holes and cut along pattern lines. Remove pattern and sand as needed. Apply finish of choice according to manufacturer's instructions. Cut the backer piece to size.
