CHW on Manitoulin Island

I had the best commute to work this morning. Steve Maxwell, CHW’s technical editor, towed the whole CHW crew through the woods using his 56-year-old tractor. The destination was a gorgeous piece of shore on Lake Huron. And this was for work: we shot a project that will be appearing in an issue of CHW next year.

This visit to Manitoulin Island is a yearly working retreat for us at the magazine. It gives us time to work closely with Steve in his amazing shop and beautiful house.
