Welcome to Maple Engineering

This is a community for those who come up with creative ways to make maple syrup. You don't have to be designing and building homemade vacuum or RO systems to participate. Have you done something cool with your buckets and spiles? Tell us! Are you proud of your tubes and buckets? Show us! Have you built your own homemade gravity of pumped vacuum system? Show it off! Do you design, build, or install giant, gleaming, stainless steel maple syrup production systems? Tell us all about it! If you don't make maple syrup but love it on your pancakes of johnnycake and want to ask question, ask away. The people posting here love to talk about making and eating maple syrup.

I thought this was an interesting picture. It shows several years of tap holes, most scabbed over. You have to move your drill holes around so that the sapwood under the bark can heal fully.
