Not to be confused with the Australian "Funnel-Web Spider" (whose bite is potentially fatal for humans) this guy is non-aggressive and will flee if he can. His bite is about the level of a serious bee sting in most cases, but it is best to avoid him if you can. This particular one built his funnel on top of the wood pile I keep out back for the fireplace in winter. Going out into the dark to fetch an extra log for the fire on a cold night... better wear gloves next time. The entrance to his bunker is about 1 cm across.
