I didn't want to post two photos of the same subject, but the other one was too good to pass up and I couldn't leave out kate and ashley in the backround.

I'm too busy these days to take the time to run any of these through photoshop, so what you see is what the camera chose to see.

this is paul claussen, a woodworker from bandon and friend of ernie's. he makes incredible furniture... I was tempted to post a photo of his work, but I like this portrait of him better.

please excuse his freedom

this is simon, one of the interns at cobville, sitting on the hot bench in the myrtle house, next to the rocket stove. he is french, and when he curses, he excuses his freedom... I like it.

the rocket stove

IMGP4119, originally uploaded by thaddeusss.

this is the rocket stove we built at cobville... it's made of stovepipe and a barrel and mud and bricks. fuel wood goes in at the left and comes out as steam somewhere up and to the right... in the process it heats up that cob bench on the right, serving as a heat battery which stores up the heat and releases it slowly into the house over time. the wood burns clean (no smoke) all the heat gets released into the house (less fuel use) and the house temperature stays very constant. incredible!
