The handle is part of a mechanism that will shut the electricity off in the house.
What's up Flickr! Here's another early edit from yesterday's Harley-Davidson themed shoot that I hope you enjoy. This image was created using Scott Robert Lim's "Crazy, Stupid Light" techniques, LR Presets and PS Actions. As always let me know what you think.

Candidate photo for Crazy Tuesday: Doors, Knockers, Handles (not used)
Door of the original (1938) half of Bank of Canada complex on Wellington Street in Ottawa. The door, made of cast bronze with images of ancient Greek coins, was designed by American sculptor Ulysses Ricci. The building itself (started and finished by different architects) is made of grey granite from Quebec in a neoclassical style.
Partially done handle with only tool used to make it.
For my new two-handed file, I decided to make wooden handles. Since finger positioning is important to maintain constant angle and pressure, rounded handles are not the best choice. I know, that traditional Japanese kitchen knives with octagonal cross-section handles are quite easy to control because it has flats. But eight facets is too much, because positioning is different from one for kitchen knife. So, my choice was hexagonal shape. To make it more comfortable, I made it slightly tapered in vertical axis.
Material: thick dead maple branch, naturally dried.
Tools: straight cutting edge knife (kiridashi).
Technique: shaping with knife, then - slight burnishing with another piece of maple wood. No flattening with plane, no scraping with knife.

Requiem For A Red Box group
This group has been created to preserve the "Red Box". The group title and this mosaic title are taken from the John Timpson's book "Requiem For A Red Box":
Quote from the dust cover of the book: In 1985 British Telecom decided in their wisdom that these boxes were too costly to maintain in the face of decay and vandalism, and they began to remove them and replace them with an assortment of booths and canopies. There was an uproar.
Red Telephone Box (from Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia)
The red telephone box, a public telephone kiosk designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, was a once familiar sight on the streets of the United Kingdom. It has all but disappeared in recent years, replaced by a number of different designs. The few kiosks that remain have not been replaced because they are regarded as being of special architectural and historical interest.
The first standard public telephone kiosk introduced by the United Kingdom Post Office was produced by Somerville & Company in 1920 and was designated K1 (Kiosk no. 1). This design was not of the same family as the familiar red telephone boxes.
The red telephone box was the result of a competition in 1924 to design a new grander kiosk. The competition attracted designs from a number of noted architects. The Fine Arts Commission judged the competition and selected the design submitted by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott as the winner. The Post Office made a request that the material used for the design be changed from mild steel to cast iron, and that a slight modification be made to the door; after these changes, the design was designated K2. The kiosks were painted red was so that they might be easily recognised from a distance by a person in an emergency. In some rural areas the boxes were painted green so as not to disrupt the natural beauty of the surroundings.
From 1927 K2 was mainly deployed in and around London. K3 designed in 1930, again by Gilbert Scott was similar to K2 but was constructed from concrete and intended for rural areas. K4 (designed by the Post Office Engineering Department and proposed in 1923) incorporated a machine for buying postage stamps on the exterior. Only 50 kiosks of this design were built. K5 was a plywood construction introduced in 1934 and designed to be assembled and dismantled and used at exhibitions.
In 1935 K6 was designed to commemorate the silver jubilee of King George V. K6 was the first standard telephone kiosk to be used throughout the country. Many thousands of K6 boxes were deployed in virtually every town and city and it became a British icon. K6 telephone boxes eventually began to be replaced in large numbers in the early 1990s Thousands of old K6 kiosks were sold off at public auction. Some kiosks have been converted to be to used as shower cubicles in private homes. In Kingston upon Thames a number of old K6 boxes have been utilised to form a work of art resembling a row of fallen dominoes.
In 1959 architect Neville Conder was commissioned to design a new box. The K7 design went no further than the prototype stage. K8 introduced in 1968 was designed by Douglas Scott and Bruce Martin. It was the first box to replace K6 in significant numbers, and the last design be painted predominantly red.
Upon the privatisation of Post Office Telephone's successor, British Telecom (BT), the KX100, a more utilitarian design, replaced almost all the red boxes; a few remain, mainly in rural areas. The KX100 PLUS, introduced in 1996 featured a domed roof reminiscent of the familiar K2 and K6. Subsequent designs have departed significantly from the old style red telephone boxes.
In response to BT's plans to replace red boxes with more modern designs, several of the former have been listed.
