caran d arche colored pencil nubbin in a Derwent lead extender (pencil holder)
I use mostly pinks/blacks/whites for my cityscapes. The lead extender allows me to squeeze every last image out of a pencil nubbin, it also makes it so that when i am down to next to nothing I can still hold what remains of the pencil normally.

The Veritas Router Plane,
one of my favourite tools, it can do housing dado joints, clean up tenons, lap joints, rebates, be used as a marking gauge and cut grooves all without the noise of the power router.

I am making a custom/bespoke box to store a vintage Neumann M49, this is to show the dovetail joinery before lining it with leather and the interior will be lined with velvet. The box will be a replica of the original ones from the early 1950's.
Favorite 10,11,12 numbers on watch dial, 10 x macro. Technique :(I don't like photo stacking, even f stop with numbers over 22 can do the job, but rarely obvious thing wins attention if there is no illusion, - blur is what we pay for). Click on the 🌟 ^_ , "as the time waits for nobody" : )

Hard.
Shot on my Sony RX100vii on a sheet of white paper with light from my patio window to create some shadow and depth.
Converted to black and white (Nik Collection Silver Efex pro 2) to enhance the rough metal of the hammer, a little vignette to help the eye focus on both the (hard) equation and hammer.
So, as Hard was the brief I think I've met it in 4 different ways.
1. It was hard to come up with something original as many's first thoughts were "Hard as Nails".
2. A hard tool, ie hammer.
3. The difficult / hard equation
and finally
4. The equation itself is Vickers Hardness equation which is used to measure the hardness of objects.
The goal was to do a project that did not involve my iMac (I guess until right now..): build a chair! This is a traditional Chinese / Japanese design, or as at least as close as I could get by studying the one I already have, and consulting with a colleague who made one many years ago in China (thanks Zhong-Min!). Fig. 1 is the final result (plus Veronica the cat) and Fig. 2 is my inital concept (argh more iMac). This was my first woodworking project. I used scrap pine boards, which felt like less pressure. I'll try nice hardwoods next time.
I had three rules:
1. No power tools.
2. No nails or glue.
3. No sandpaper or paint.
The idea behind Rule #1 was to spend some 'quality time' with the wood, using only hand tools, many of them Japanese. This meant spending _much_ quality time learning how to sharpen the blades! But boy did they end up sharp...
The idea behind Rule #2 was to learn how to make mortise and tenon joints. I ended up making twelve pegged, blind (i.e. 'stub' or 'stopped') tenon joints. The trick here was that every joint was at a 97 degree angle. This required some iMac-sketching and head-scratching (Fig. 3). For the 8 rail joints, I angled the mortise, and for the 4 leg-seat joints I angled the tenon, in both the x and y directions (Fig. 4). In doing the latter I screwed up some angles, and hence had to violate Rule #2. A sort of chain reaction of bad angles necessitated a reworking of all 12 joints, so that they no longer fit perfectly and required some wood glue. Luckily, making the 1/8" hardwood pegs was satisfying and successful!
Rule #3 was intended to leave the wood surface feeling 'like wood'. I read a great furniture artisan book from the SF Library (can't remember the title) that advocated the use of a scraper to take off thin, single shavings from the surface, leaving a superior finish to sandpaper, which creates hundreds of miniature cuts. Pretty neat. A combination of blue and green stains ended up quite vivid.
Slow work...but all in all very enjoyable!
The tools (Fig. 5)...Japanese and Western mortise gauges. Gimlets for hand-drilling holes. Japanese saw, chisel, and mortise chisel. Drawknife for shaping the curved seat. Arkansas stone and Japanese water stone for sharpening. Scraper. Mallet. Combination square. Old plane that didn't work so great. Band clamp.
