I've been a bit constrained by work -- but I will try to find some time to visit & comment tonight. I miss you guys!
While attempting some 'product photography', feeling out the light, this snapshot sort of happend.
Playing around with it on the computer, I like how the washed out colors of the pots (I did not stage, I had them there on the desk to begin with) found a new way of working together, somehow.
And they complement the silver box nicely I think; packaging was pretty neat and stylish back in the old days. 😋

Building boxes and frames for the 2025 bee season. Spring, as announced by the blooming of the Maple trees has arrived here in Florida. The bee population is increasing and with lots of brood and the presence of drones in the colonies, we're at the beginning of swarm season. The catch boxes were baited and set out last weekend and looking back through my records, for the past six years I see that the first swarms have occurred during the last week of February.

This is not a gloat
This post might not impress everybody so I'm calling this an interesting find instead of a gloat.
I've always been fond of the smaller tool makers. So when I spotted an Aussie hand plane on a "Online auction site near youâ„¢, I had to make a run for it.
After a btalle with another curious yet uncertain buyer, I won the auction and a few days later arrived a Turner no 4 smoothing plane.
I won't show you any pictures before you have read far enough, as some of you might turn your eyes away in disgust. But I can assure you, there's no need for parental guiding the woodworking style.
Yes, it has plastic handles. Yes, it has a frog made of aluminum.
While you let tho sink in I will tell you the plane also has a very solid and well made body, the handles are translucent (á la MF permaloid) and that the plane is fitted with a Erik Anton Berg cutter made specifically for the Turner tool company.
I will not try to steal the show as all I know about this company is borrowed from the Village Woodworker down under:
thevillagewoodworker.blogspot.com/2012/11/turner-hand-pla...
What I can add is that I agree with his review. This is a very well made hand plane. The celluloid acetate handles feels good in my hands and bring a light smile to my face, much needed in the dark era of Finnish autumn awaiting the even worse. The aluminum frog is of course a slight concern. Will it hold up against had use? But as long as remember not to tighten either the lever cap or the frog screws too much I ought to be OK. And I just love having a Berg cutter made specifically for metal hand planes which can be used not in only in this plane but also my MF no 9.
This plane was purchased from an Englishman who says his father worked in Australia for a few years and who thinks his dad must have bought the plane during his stay. From what I know it hasn't been used for a long time. It's not unused but the scar tissue on the surface has more to do with being stored away improperly than from hard use. The plane has some shallow pitting on both sole and cheeks and I discovered rust on the handle bolts as well as the bolt housing. By the look of the bleached and very tatty box and the mildew stench coming from it, I would guess the plane has been stored in a outside shed but succumbed to sunshine and varying temperatures, which would very well explain why the plane has been corroded.
The handles are intact and I hope that adding some wax might help them to stay sound. Luckily the handles have not been subjected to direct sunlight.
There's a very nice addition t the fastening of the front knob. The raised housing on the body has a recess cut into it at the front side. The knob has a mating little toe which fits into the recess. This feature will keep the front knob from rotating and prevent the user from over tightening the knob. An ingenious invention which would be welcomed on other planes as well.
The plane has only been taken for a short spin on some ash, but it does feel promising. The cutter had been resharpened but not across its full edge so it needs a proper resharpening before I can provide a verdict.
What I can say is that I have compared the weight of this plane with a MF no 9 (Type 2) and a Stanley low knob no 4.
The Turner is the decidedly heaviest of them all, even considering this plane has plastic handles and a frog made of aluminum. It weighs in at 1750 grams.
The MF no 9 weighs 1680 grams and the Stanley no 4 a mer 1610 grams.
The difference are not mind blowing and might be moot for most users, but it does say something about the solidity of this plane.
Ahh took me all day to paint but i'm finally done! I really like the outcome ^^! This is the first time I've painted something in a while!
(it isn't super perfect as it is handpainted, but a lot of work and love went into this ^^)

Taken at Buu Long, Bien Hoa.
Biên Hòa is a city in Dong Nai Province, Vietnam, about 20 miles (32 km) (30 kilometers) east of Saigon, to which Bien Hoa is linked by Vietnam Highway 1. In 1989 the estimated population was over 300,000. And now in 2005, population increased to 541,495, and some estimates show that the city has 604,548 people in 2007
Bien Hoa grew into a major suburb of Saigon (later renamed Ho Chi Minh City) as the capital city of South Vietnam grew. Following the First Indochina War, tens of thousands of refugees from the northern and central regions of Vietnam—a large portion of them Roman Catholics—resettled in Bien Hoa as part of Operation Passage to Freedom.
During the Vietnam War, the United States Air Force operated Bien Hoa Air Base near the city. Nonetheless, a significant number of the city's residents sympathized with, or were members of, the Viet Cong. Mortar attacks on U.S. and ARVN targets were frequently staged from residential districts in Bien Hoa.
With regard to entertainment, the city includes several amusement parks, night clubs and restaurants lining the Dong Nai River. Construction has increased rapidly (with many Western-style houses and villas under development), and the real estate market has experienced a series of boom cycles since the mid-1990s. The retail market still includes the many ad hoc bazaar-type markets and shop-fronts common to most of Vietnam, but now also includes air-conditioned, enclosed shopping malls, one of which, a Big C branch, includes a KFC restaurant, a Western-style grocery store, a bowling alley and video arcade, among others.
How do creative professionals who are paid to think outside the box express themselves? At Corey McPherson Nash, we do it inside the box—a shallow, glass-topped, wooden box, to be exact.
14 years ago we resuscitated the quaint craft of shadow-box making and turned it into a company ritual. The rules are simple: Don't go outside the box, and don't put anything living inside the box. But the object is ambitious: to provide a hands-on tutorial in Corey McPherson Nash's organizational culture. "Our basic operating principle is to define broad goals, supply a little structure, and then give people the freedom to do creative work."
With the shadow boxes, that principle has produced wildly diverse visions. Among the completed boxes: a vivid frightscape, complete with a crank for animating dancing-devil cutouts; a meditation on "what it could have been," featuring a loose marble and a list of design possibilities; and Tom Corey's own taxonomy of "bad seeds."
These two-tone canvas boxes provide a stylish yet sensible storage solution! You don’t even need to hide these classy containers away in a closet. Constructed of heavy-duty, durable cotton canvas, these soft-sided boxes provide an attractive way to store and organize clothing, CDs, games, sewing and crafts materials, and various types of supplies. Each collapsible storage box includes an ID card holder to help you easily identify contents.
If you used Lucky Charms coupons in the 70's, you probably got a box of cereal that looked like this!
The current Box Elder Stake Tabernacle, also known as the Brigham City Tabernacle, is a neo-Gothic tabernacle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints rebuilt in Brigham City, Box Elder County, Utah by Mormon pioneers in 1897 after being gutted by fire a year earlier. The tabernacle continues to function as a meetinghouse for congregants of the Box Elder Stake and seats approximately 1600. It also host concerts and other special events and is open for tours during the summer. Given its unique architecture and importance to the community, the tabernacle was listed on National Register of Historic Places on May 14th, 1971. A recently built temple stands across from the tabernacle.
The site for the tabernacle was chosen by LDS Church President Brigham Young, who after visiting a different site selected by local church officers, went atop "Sagebrush hill" the highest point along main street and reportedly stated "this is the spot for your tabernacle." On May 8th 1865, Young assisted in laying the cornerstone for the tabernacle. Around 1880 meetings began to be held in a rudimentary structure without the tower, gallery, or buttresses. In 1889, it was voted to "complete" the building by adding a tower, a gallery, a rear vestibule, capped brick buttresses, and other improvements. The tabernacle was completed and dedicated on October 28, 1890 by Young's successor, Wilford Woodruff.
The tabernacle was gutted by fire in 1896, just 6 years after being completed in 1890. On Sunday February 9, 1896, as church members began to assemble a fire broke out in the furnace room, the building ignited and was reduced to blackened stone walls. Within a year the tabernacle was rebuilt with elegant woodwork, a distinctive gothic/revival tower and sixteen graceful pinnacles, and rededicated by George Q. Cannon on March 21, 1897.

Stalybridge 'box was destroyed in an accidental fire in the early hours of December 1st 2012, ironically whilst it was being dismantled ready for demolition. It had been decommissioned a few weeks beforehand with control passing to Manchester East SCC, but the event still caused massive disruption to the key Trans-Pennine route. I nipped over in the evening to view the damage and was a bit taken aback when I saw this, although I couldn't get any closer than the platform end. An inauspicious end to a railway feature that was well over 100 years old.

A custom I did of Cooper's Box Fox.
I got to meet Cooper while I was out in LA and he's just a kid and already making some of the most imaginative and awesome papertoys! So here is our little colab. Check Cooper's work here:

My mooncake collection for this year. Yet to think of what to decorate them with but here's all their original look : )
EviiiR Edward the eighth post box, in Eden Way, Beckenham.
Quite rare, one of only around 130 in the country. Edward was only king for eleven months, and was never crowned. He abdicated to marry the woman of his choice.
In case you didn't know it this is a relay mailbox or drop box. This is where postal workers leave mail for for carriers to pick up to deliver. As I approached this I was intrigued at how the orange tag popped out as well as the combination of the other colors. I also loved how the green paint was slathered on the texture it yielded. This was manually focused to get it just the way I wanted it. Who needs auto-focus points?!

Bristlecone Pine jewelry boxes
These rustic-appearing beautiful jewelry boxes (or desk organizers!) are made from Bristle Cone Pine that was burned over by a forest fire in the 1880's. Bristle Cone Pine grows high in the Rocky Mountains at 8000 feet and over, and is the oldest living thing in the world. These boxes are made from trees that are 200 to 1000 years old.
The boxes are hand made in the San Luis Valley of Southern Colorado, US, and finished with a fine Danish oil.
