Y-Bit, because of the shape. Part of a box with all kind of special bits, to open for example household items where a standard Torx or an Allen Key does not fit.
Underground tableware, light a small torch, no flash involved.
Found these tools sitting outside on a box at a junk yard antique store. I might have made an offer, but most of these look suspiciously like the tools in my Dad's old toolbox.

Technical: After cropping and sharpening, the original color wasn't particularly interesting. So, I flipped to monochrome, which greatly improved the picture. Then, I tried sepia and it improved it even more. Then I stopped.

Once a trusted partner in countless builds, now rusted into retirement—this vintage hand saw clings to a sunbaked wall in Rancho Bernardo, California. Its blade dulled by years and its grip faded by hands long gone, it stands not as a tool, but as a relic. A story without words, etched in iron and grain.
Nine-inch plastic levels come in handy for all kinds of thinsg, like leveling picture frames, for example. You need two in case you temporarily misplace one of them. And bright colors help you find them amongst all the other tools.

A master at work putting up a new "gårdsgård", simply an old style of fence, at Hembygdsgården. Made without modern materials, only natural ingredients..
This sort of fencing was easy to put up on location. No need to transport anything but essential handtools like axe and knife.

I love good healthy food and I love to make it. It stands to reason I'd have a lot of tools to help me in the kitchen. These are but a few in my collection.
Always handy to have a set of Allen keys!

There was a fair bit of PS CS 5.1 work involved as I wanted a more silhouette-type image.
The reflection is real, the subject was on black shiny acryllic sheet.
Well, if it wasn't for the rose the kitchen strainer wouldn't be so beautiful!

Het dorp Anidri ligt in het zuidwesten van Kreta op zo'n 5 kilometer ten oosten van Paleochora, op de Kandanos (of Rodovani) - Prodomi - Anidri - Paleochora route. Vooral het laatste stuk van de route van Anidri naar Paleochora, waarbij je een gedeelte door een kloof loopt is erg mooi. Het is een erg rustig gebied met veel kronkelweggetjes, een groene natuur.
The village Anidri located in the southwest of Crete, about 5 kilometers east of Paleochora, the Kandanos (or Rodovani) - Prodomi - Anidri - Paleochora route. Especially the last part of the route of Anidri to Paleochora where you have a section running very nicely by a gap. It is a very quiet area with many winding roads, green nature.
I had my hands gripped so tight for so long, the gloves actually stayed put. #HandTools #FlickrFriday
For 'Macro Mondays' theme of 'Hand Tool'.
Not quite what you would expect as a 'Hand Tool' but 60 to 70 years ago you improvised and used what was available to do a job ! Some of us still do.
My Dad always carried a coin in his pocket on the basis that you never knew when it might come in useful. I've seen him remove stones from his car tyre with a coin and I've seen him use a coin as a screw driver.
So here you have a more common use - removing a lid from a tight tin. Those more familiar with a 'modern' film camera will have used a coin to loosen and tighten the battery cover on the base of their camera.
Lesson to be leant - always carry a coin in your purse or pocket, but perhaps not like my Grandfather who always had a half-sovereign with him!
Russian Jupiter 9 85mm ...................................... less than 2 inches
I recently went to visit my Mum on the east coast to spend a bit of time with her. It was the first visit since my Dad passed away. It was always a Father and Son tradition to go down to the shed to sit and talk about everything and nothing.
The Shed is a place for creativity, escape, reflection and future projects. A place where world domination can be conducted within the confines of a 6m x 8m space.
My dad was born one year after the depression and was a refugee from war torn Europe, those two things shaped his life in a way that still resonates today.
He was a firm believer that life is never to be taken for granted. always seek to improve ones life, never think that any government will look after you and God is with you weather you like it or not.. They are all attributes for survival in a harsh world.
He also believed that everything is useful "never throw anything out" 'it will come in handy one day" . Visiting his shed this time, was a strange feeling, it was like he was there... but he wasn't. just about all of his life possessions were there in the shed, even though he was gone it was comforting to be there. I took my camera and captured his shed as best as I could to preserve all these memories.
