don't have to worry about a wood stove ember catching that on fire.
Yep it is nearly fireproof but wind can be a problem if you are in an area that gets strong wind. A properly attached metal roof is resistant to fire, water and wind. Wind requires better attachment than anything else. In this case screws are better than nails.

I will be going back to his series on grafting when i get around to that project. I think I have seen everything he has posted. I have a couple of his grapes growing. His leeks didn't do well for me..

I have a masonry hammer that is very similar. I use it for cleaning concrete off of used bricks.
Great threads that you keep adding, elkhound. They are about survival and skills and help us to learn about what it takes to live a life in different conditions.
It looks like it is a framing hammer with one of the tines cut off and the other slimmed and sharpened. I have a hammer head (found) that I could make one easily.
