I bought most of these tools over 50 years ago, and many were already well used when I bought them, so they've definitely earned their rust.

HDR image of the socket drawer in my toolbox in the garage. I don't think I could ever use all of them if I wanted to but you know that every time I need a specific size, I can't find it...
Three bracketed photos were taken and combined with Photomatix to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS5.

On a suggestion from a friend at work, I pulled out the wrenches drawer on my upright tool box for this photo. I have collected many different brands and types of wrenches over the years as you can see here. Everything from Craftsman, Blackhawk and Proto to Crescent, Easco and Popular Mechanics. They have been used to work on my everyday vehicle, my 1966 Mustang, to help teach my son how to work on his own truck and to help build doll houses for my daughter. Every man needs a good set of wrenches...

Hockhockson Farm
Colts Neck, NJ
Hockhockson Farm, owned by the same family for 200 years, is one of Colts Neck’s most historic homes. On 45 acres, it includes a pond, barns and lush farmland. The current residence has been on the same foundation since its construction circa 1790. President Dwight D. Eisenhower started his own ranch with stock from Hockhockson Farm.

Beginning with the Industrial Revolution era, a workshop may be a room or building which provides both the area and tools (or machinery) that may be required for the manufacture or repair of manufactured goods. Workshops were the only places of production until the advent of industrialization and the development of larger factories.

One of my fondest memories of a toy was this hand-made and hand-carved wooden replica of a Thompson Sub-Machine gun. One of my relatives who had been in the South Pacific during World War II and who had a Thompson, spent some of his down time after the war making wooden items as a way to regain his serenity. The gun was actual size and most realistic, but it was wooden. Highly varnished, thus shiny, it was a favorite toy and was used many times in childhood war games in the big woods behind this home pictured. Most of the neighbors had boys, thus as we grew older we were a tight unit of lads, not a gang by any means, but a unit of friends who had the respect we needed by simple civility to the other. If there was ever a disagreement among us, we worked it out by simple avoidance of the other for a few days or a stand and shout session of name-calling. We shared many memories and good times. At that time in history, the late 40s and 50s, families normally stayed wherever they had a home. There was no moving for the sake of rapid upward mobility or to find a place that did not need up-dating. To be quite frank, there was not one single home on that block that couldn't have used one hell of lot of up-dating. However, everyone was pretty happy. Homes on that block were heated by coal. There were railroad tracks just a few houses south of where I grew up, thus the sound of trains was part of my youth; there were, I recall some mighty big steam locomotives that roared past our neighborhood. The old Missouri Pacific route of the Eagles had double tracks, the Kansas City Southern, the freight line had one track only. The KCS was basicall an oil supply train that ran from the Standard Oil Refinery in Sugar Creek, Missouri to various areas throughout Kansas City, Missouri. And while speaking of refineries, I am reminded of energy. If one stood at the top of a hill a few blocks north of our block, the eternal flame of the Standard Oil Refinery could be seen. It was a flame that died in the 70s, never to be fill the sky with it's orange glow again. So, when I think of energy, I think of our natural resources, not windmills...
A friend called me- said he knew a guy whose wife had a bunch of old tools for sale! You know I went to see. and bought most of them!
On our recent trip to Maine we found a fellow named Nathan Nicholls who does what he calls "Recycle Art". Nathan lives in the Waldoboro area and his property is full of metal sculptures, etc that he has created using various metal "junk" and a welder. I am always amazed by people who have the ability to take a lump of clay, an empty canvas or in this case, a pile of metal "junk" and create something appealing out of it. Nathan was very welcoming and we spent several hours taking photos of his works of art. Nathan's work can be found at 483 Breman Road, Waldoboro, Me. You can find him on Facebook: www.facebook.com/recyclesculptor
This old oak toilet tank came out of a Portland Arts and Craft house built in 1900. It was dirty, stained and bounded for the dump when I interviened. With a little elbow grease, sand paper and spar varnish I spiffed it up and planted colius in it. The original copper liner is still perfect condition so it holds potting soil/water without damage to the wood. I put a piece of screen over the drain hole in the bottom so the soil doesn't fall out the bottom. It even has the original porcelain handle, though it is a bit cracked.

I came across this old shop which I presume was a metal workers shop with a manual cog wheel machine at the front. This antique or vintage cog wheel machine I believe may have been used to either bend or straighten metal, as there are rollers behind the cogs with a handle to manually run this machine. If anyone knows the name of this machine, I am curious to find out.
This shop had many outdated and old tools some of which I do not know the use. There appeared to be all sorts of spare parts and makeshift benches set up made from metal and also an old singer sewing machine frame.
