The human scale

Makeshift bath tub for emergency water backup. The closest fire is in North Nowra, 30kms South and the fire is expected to burn through our water catchment. The worst is yet to come with the southerly change this evening. Found out today that the recent Amazon fires burnt 2.2 million acres, so far the Aussie bushfires have burnt 12 million acres.

The ghostly carbon copy image of Australia, the soul of the continent being drawn away to the south. Shown here is the PM2.5 air quality filter from Windy.com just now on this "catastrophic fire rating” day #climateaction

Hand tools - on hand, for this shaping of gentle to tight curves and changing grain directions. Yep, that's a hammer handle wrapped in 40 grit. # woodworking

Glorious mess #occasionalwoodworker

A lot of work to make it look like no work, such is fixing mistakes. Patching this overshoot on the cutter. #woodworking

Called in to see master shipwright Cody Horgan in his element working on a new crows nest (?) for the replica HMB Endeavour at Sydney Maritime museum. Check out this beast of a copper nail they use! Used in conjunction with a 'rove' (like a domed washer) these nails act more like rivets when the nail is cut short and hammered. #woodworking #shipwright @sea.museum
