PRIMITIVE GERMAN TYPECASTING TOOL WITH HANDWRITTEN MANUAL
I got this single letter typecasting tool from a family in St. Gallen. They've had it from their family letterpress printshop which closed down somewhen in the late 80ies.
It is a tool with which you could copy some single large bodied leadtype sorts. In the handwritten manual it says: You would cast a lead-matrix (YES! LEAD-MATRIX...) from a piece of type. It says: Blacken the letter first with an oil lamp, then cast a matrix – the lead shouldn't be to hot. Then you use a oil-lamp to blacken your fresh cast matrix again and off you go casting a letter...
It says further that they bought this tool somewhen in the 1920ies from Berlin! It is still in its original box! It also says that it works pretty well, if you get trained a bit... haha
I didnt try it out yet! But I am really happy that this old men wrote a short manual before he packed it up to archive it in the late 1980ies!
Which one color or black and white???
Thanks to all who stop to look and comment. I will be sure to look at your photostream and leave a comment
One for my collection of pics showing how different tradesmen have widely varying types of basic tool outfits.
This one belongs to the lead guy of a 2-man crew that installed our new heat pump.
Not a whole lot of organization to it. But as they say, "I know just where everything is."

In July, my wife and I joined family to see the Historic Crab Orchard Museum in Tazewell, VA. Here is a scene from the Carpenter's Shop.
The sign on the Carpenter's Shop reads...
"Carpenter's Shop
Most early pioneers were skilled in carpentry, since homes, barns, and workshops were usually wooden.
Many days were spent in the forest using hand saws and axes to cut large trees for walls, boards, and shingles. Strong horses with ropes could be used to drag the large trimmed logs to the building site.
At the building site, tools of precision were used, such as the broad axe to hew out logs for walls, the froe to split shingles or shakes for the roofs, and the auger, used to drill holes for pegs, which essentially help hold the structure together.
More experienced carpenters had shops for their business, displaying expertise in making the finer wooden products. A farmer could trade livestock or fresh vegetables for basic furnishings such as doors, tables, and chairs. Using precision tools such as a hand plane or chisel, more admirable pieces like walnut hutches, chestnut mantles, or spinning wheels were fashioned."
Awesome Tool roll collaboration with Lemolo Bags!! These things rule and are super versatile. They are space great for Brooks style saddle loops but will strap on any saddle, handlebars, racks, toptubes, pretty much any where you wanna stick it. And, they come stocked with Full Size tools!! From the tiniest Park allen wrench up to 8mm, 8-11 mm box style Park wrenches, Topeak full sized chain tool, two Tire levers, a green spoke wrench and even that chainring bolt tool no one ever has around! Also has little bungees for keepin a tube of your choice in the roll. I couldn't be more excited on how these came out, Elias at Lemolo is amazing and really nailed this. They are $120 fully loaded with tools and ready to ship.
This is the place where my father spends a lot of time after his work. He is really talented and likes to fix everything that has been broken.
The original drawer pulls. Fitting them back in, it became apparent that no two were identical. Gotta line up them screw heads or I can't get a good night's sleep.
What does the word photography literally mean?
The word photography derives from the Greek photos ("light") and graphe ("drawing"). The term was coined by Hercules Florence, a French painter and inventor, who used it in his diary to describe the process. Photos is also the root of words such as photon or photophobia (fear of light).
