Hand Sawn Half Laps


Some more photos, me in my new and improved canyon-bush hat. The hanging corks keep flies away from your face while you're working. Now if only I could find a way to keep the corks out of my face...


And one of the beautiful sunsets here.

I got into a very meditave state cutting half laps in 2x4s with a hand saw today and was at peace with myself. It was later shattered trying to sand said 2x4s, but it was nice while it lasted.

So the french family was reading ausi children's books to their kids, one of which was Wombat Stew. In Wombat Stew a platipus appears with one of these cork hats on. Alison and I were like WTF mate? and asked Richard about it, who said it was an old bush trick for keeping flies out of your ears and eyes. Works pretty well, honestly.
