Ocean View

This August we moved into a different house in Brevig. The new place is located right on the beach. After we got settled into the new house I moved my workshop down to the beach also. I haven't taken any photos of the house yet, but I do have some of the shop.This is the view of the ocean when I open the shop doors.

Here is another view from outside.

I haven't measured it, but I think that we are less than 200 feet from the waters edge.

What's Inside?

Harold and I had an Etch A Sketch that didn't work anymore. I have often wondered what kind of mechanism was inside that made those things go. So we took it out to the shop to see what we could figure out.

They are not really meant to be opened, so it took a lot of work to get it apart. Some of the pieces inside got misplaced while opening it, so we couldn't tell exactly how it works, but it is some sort of system of pulleys and wires that move the pointer around. The back of the Etch A Sketch says that the powder inside in non toxic, what they don't tell you is what a terrible mess the stuff makes if you let it out.
