Another semi close-up of lovely
Janelle at our Sexy Power Tools photoshoot in my garage on 10/5/19. Janelle did her own hair and makeup. A very fun shoot.
The main light was a DigiBee800 to my right, fired into a medium, gridded Chimera strip bank, set to about 1/2 power. I used a large white foam core board to her right to fill shadows on her side facing the camera. There is a trace of light from a rim light, a Canon 550EX atop my water heater fired at 1/128 power and covered with a twice folded white handerchief; the flash head zoom setting was at 70mm. Both lights were triggered with Pocket Wizards. Finished with a Topaz Adjust Classic Collection Soft Focus I layer at 70% opacity.
Canon 70D and Canon EF 50mm f1.8 STM lens. ISO 200, f5.6 at 1/125 second.
New spokeshave starting to happen. Older one on the left - some kind of soft maple burl, on the right is the blank for the new one, 20 year seasoned mesquite.
Playing with black and white with the new (to me) camera. And yes.... those leather gloves are mine. I go through a pair about once per year...sometimes twice! LOL
As a bookkeeper this is a tool I use every day.
I did not have my DSLR with me at work, so my old iPhone 4 was the best camera I had. With the Nik Silver Effex Pro 2, I tried to make an artistic image of it. Hope you like it...
The Lumberjack is a bearded man
Who works the forest as long as he can,
With an axe and saw as tools with his brawn
He labors all day from dusk till dawn,
End of day he still stands tall
Employees everywhere he beats them all.

Szék (Sic) is a sleepy village not far from Kolozsvár (Cluj) in Transylvania (Romania), where old houses are still standing with their traditional blue walls and thatch roofs.
An isolated community, the village managed to preserve its unique folk traditions, costumes and music through the centuries. Many of the older villagers still wear their traditional costume as they go about their everyday life.
....I got side-tracked again in my workshop. I refurbished the $3, 16" dovetail saw I picked up last month. The manufacturer (Pennsylvania Saw Corporation #79 - Warranted Superior) etching on the blade is too faint and cannot be read. Also, there was some rust pitting I couldn't remove. I soaked it overnight in vinegar to loosened most of the rust on all the metal parts. The handle just needed some sanding, and I sealed it with urethane. Still very sharp for it's age.....early 1900's.

This ball peen hammer has had the snot beat out of it, but, it is a beauty. It's well used, and full of character.

As assortment of hand tools that once belonged to my grandfather back in my home state of New Hampshire. I was inspired to try this after seeing a similar photo using scissors in the January 2013 issue of Popular Photography.

Various adapters, appliances and handtools along with a thermal imaging camera and 4 gas detector. An AED and basic first aid bag. Engine 63 responds first due to structure fires in our local, vehicle fires, wires, gas leaks, hazardous materials incidents, trash and brush fires.
I wanted to make a lounge or garden chair for outside. And, I'm interested in simple constructions using readily available materials and handtools.
I found images and drawings of the Crate Chair.
The Crate chair was designed by Dutch furniture designer and architect Gerrit Rietveld c1934. Early versions of the chair were made from recycled packing crate wood using standard timber dimensions, in this case 15 x 2cm stock of various lengths, and it's designed to be made by anyone. Anyone with simple skills and rudimentary tools.
The Crate Chair is similar in ethos to the Enzo Mari table I made some time ago.
I managed to cut all the elements from a cheap board from a local hardware store made of glued up timber 2m x 60 x 2 cm. I cut it into four planks of 14.6 cm, then cut the planks to the required lengths, mostly 45cm, before ripping some of them down to make the battens for the seat, back and arm rests. In the spirit of Rietveld's intention I ripped them in half for simplicity and to save material. I cut everything using a handsaw, planed the planks to something like the same widths and cut chamfers on the battens.
You can read an account of how I made a version of the crate chair
The assembly was helped enormously by the annotated drawings and construction tips of Jorn Ake
After I made the chair I noticed that a fairly standard and readily available cushion fits perfectly.
We inherited these tool bits from an uncle but we don't know what they do!
These small steel bits with very sharp points. They vary in length from 38-48mm.
The shanks are square and obviously fit into a handle (which sadly we don't have).
They are in two screw-top containers, one wood, the other metal.
We would appreciate any ideas on what they are for, in what activity they might have been used etc.
