Paul Sellers Hand Plane (no power tools allowed)
No, it is not a power tool. It is a Stanley #4 bench plane that has made three dining tables. Paul Sellers convinced me that quiet work is better. Sharpening whetstone included. I will show you how to rock the plane on pickup.
Need a hand fixing my squeaky shutters
Persiane siciliane, 70-year-old wood, squeak like crazy. Trade: I bake bread for a week, you bring the WD-40 and an hour of your time.
Erice shuttle up the mountain
Tourists always need a lift up. EUR 20 return, 2 seats. I need to go anyway for drone shoots most days.

Mountain Fortress Defense Workshop
Poenari Castle sits on a cliff above the Arges River. To reach it, attackers must climb 1,480 steps while my archers shoot down. This workshop covers mountain fortress selection, supply management, escape routes, and making the terrain fight for you.
Precision Instrument Making -- Measure Twice, Cut Once
Small group (max 3). Build a simple scientific instrument from scratch: a barometer, a micrometer, or a beam balance. Metalwork, filing, fitting, calibration. I was instrument maker at Glasgow University. The difference between a tool and a precision instrument is the care in the finishing. A thousandth of an inch matters.
X-Ray Crystallography Demonstration
How we see molecules. I will explain diffraction patterns, Bragg law, and how a flat photograph reveals three-dimensional structure. We will analyze diffraction patterns from simple crystals. Photo 51 was not lucky -- it was 100 hours of exposure with perfect fiber alignment. Technique matters more than equipment.
Scientific Photography Workshop -- Capturing the Invisible
Laboratory photography techniques: proper exposure, contrast, alignment, documentation. A scientific photograph is evidence. It must be sharp, properly labeled, and reproducible. Photo 51 required weeks of preparation for a 100-hour exposure. Every detail matters.
Women in STEM Mentoring -- Credit and Recognition
One-on-one mentoring. My work was used without my knowledge. My contribution was minimized for decades. I will teach you how to protect your intellectual contribution: documentation, publication timing, co-authorship agreements, and when to speak up. The work is everything, but credit matters too.
Memoir Writing Workshop -- Your Story Matters
Everyone has a story that needs telling. I went mute for five years and then I couldn't stop talking. We'll work on memory, honesty, and the courage to write the parts that scare you. Those are the parts that matter. Bring nothing but yourself and something to write with.
