Tools waiting to be put away.

Mostly for size comparison of the two. I did think I'd cropped this before I uploaded it, though.

dry fit of my two doors.

still some touch ups to be done, but I'm pretty happy considering it was my first go at this.

 

doors are resting on their future home...

 

btw, the door on the right is the one we just made.

Here is a tool that a fellow coworker let me borrow from his toolbox. This crate opener belonged to his father. He estimates that the tool is 60+ years old. He would like to find out more information about it. If anybody knows anything about this tool or the company, please contact me or leave a comment

The only thing missing is a beer.

 

Taken while at The Dray for a Hair of the Dog Brewing event during Seattle Beer Week. I liked how all the hand tools where pilled up around the utility meter, and thought it would make a decent photograph. Interestingly enough I am having a difficult time writing a description for it, perhaps the words just aren’t flowing today.

Paid $3 for this thing at a outdoor thrift fair. It didn't take much to get all the rust and gunk off. Probably one of my most used tools!

A second look at the back of the panel.

If you notice along the side you can see that I've already marked out how much material I'm going to remove on each side to create the shoulder.

Set of automotive tools box and small car lift.

Out comes the shoulder plane again to clean up the edges. Note the big chip out on the front edge, this is why we work end grain first!

My dad still has all his tools from when he started at the phone company long ago. He teased me for wanting to take a picture of these tools, but I think they're interesting and, because they're my dad's, extremely well kept and ordered.

 

He helped test our phone lines and make a plan for how to improve the wiring, and removed a ton of unnecessary random cables.

The vice is now ready to be installed.

This is the first mortise I cut into this post. It will eventually accept the bottom tenon of a knee brace.

The back of the blade - the side that you see here - needs to be machined flat.

 

Again, I ask, where is my machine shop?

From a mini-project featuring a selection of tools from far off years on my father's farm in Morayshire and which now reside in my garden hut. These hand tools could be sixty or more years old and have a 'rustic character' missing from their modern day counterparts. It's a shame I don't have access to my dad's old tool shed on the farm, as it would have made a great background with its stone walls and racks of miscellaneous tools along with gouged, wooden benches with their bolted-on vices. As a youngster, I could potter for hours on end in the farm tool shed; that was long before the days of health and safety.

The photograph was made in my home-studio and lit only by the modelling lights of my Elinchrom flash units. The sepia toning aids the feeling of antiquity.

Taken when they set up a show and demonstrations in our shop.

I've now moved over to my shooting board to clean up some of the edges with my shoulder plane.

I finally acquired my first Disston handsaw, a #8 - for $3 at Habitat for Humanity's Restore. Disston made handsaws from 1840 to 1955 and (when properly sharpened) can hold their own with all the fancy impulse-hardened, cryogenically treated saws sold today.

Not perfect by any means, but I've removed some of the rust, flattened part of the sole, sharpened up the blade, and run it across some fir scrap. It cuts.

 

Oh, and also today, my youngest, my son, graduates from high school.
