The finishing bench. From the far corner, there is a tumbler, a magnetic polisher, a pickle pot, an ultrasonic unit.
A very precisely sized tool, this one is part of an old TA tool kit. This is perfect for ref.25 chainring mounting bolts and especially nice for the old TA "domed" bolts. This is cut flush at the opening as opposed to modern sockets which are often tapered for an easier fit over hex bolts or nuts. This means there is much less chance of the tool slipping off and rounding the corners of old TA hex-head bolts... which always seemed to be made of soft steel and were poorly plated.

Spent some time today trying to light these tools to show off the wonderful workmanship of those neolithic crafstmen. From personal collection.
The D3-5 Fairway Golf Divot Tool sports an inlay in 10,000 year old Fossil Mammoth tooth. The frame is in etched 'Ladder' damascus by Mike Norris. This is the most exclusive golf tool in the world.
New tests/research using 'Tool Hide,' the CNC surfacing technique we developed that can respond to an infinite variety of surface curvatures.

dgj071 Minihaus I - Minimum Impact House, Frankfurt am Main, D , 2008
English
Minimum-Impact-House is a holistic approach for the reduction of the overall-impact of residential housing by creating a new type of residential house by densifying the city centre. In the design project a prototype mini-house has been developed to explore the potential of so far uninhabitable urban niches. A triangular site of only 29sqm was chosen to built a Mini-house in size comparable to a family house of 150sqm. This strategy avoids the further use of land and the need of building of new infrastructure like streets and public buildings. The city centre is denser an environment so that the inhabitants won’t to travel so often to work, shopping, education, or cultural events.
In a research project the prototype was compared to a typical suburban house. A life-cycle-analysis quantified the amounts of energy, material, and investment for the construction, and consumed during an estimated life-span of the buildings of 50 years. The analysis for which a software was developed was also used as a design-tool for optimising the prototype-building in terms of energy-consumption, construction, and materials. For the building construction renewable resources, mainly timbre, had been used which reduces the energy content and emissions.

Das Minimum Impact House wurde von einem Verbundforschungsprojekt begleitet mit Drexler Guinand Jauslin Architekten GmbH und Fachgebiet Entwerfen und Energieeffizientes Bauen Prof. Manfred Hegger der TU Darmstadt. Gefördert von der Deutschen Bundesstiftung Umwelt DBU.
Das Minihaus ist ein Prototyp für innerstädtische Nachverdichtung. Statt einer Zersiedlung der Landschaft zur Schaffung von Wohnraums können Nischen und Restflächen in der Stadt genutzt werden. So wird die bestehende Infrastruktur besser ausgelastet und das sozio-kulturelle Gefüge der Stadt gestärkt.
Durch eine umfassende Ökobilanzierung wurde das Gebäude ganzheitlich optimiert. Dabei wurde sowohl die Herstellung (Holzbauweise, natürliche nachwachsende Ressourcen) als auch der Betrieb (Passivhaus-Standard, erneuerbare Energien) als auch Instandhaltung und Rückbau analysiert.
Makro-ökonomisch werden durch den geringen Landverbrauch und die Vermeidung von Investitionskosten in Straßen, Leitungen, öffentliche Gebäude vermieden. Bei dem Gebäude wurden durch geringe Betriebkosten und günstige Finanzierung (KFW40) die Lebenszykluskosten optimiert.

One of my Creative Commons'd photos was used by AAAS in an article on careers Biomanufacturing. It's the photo in the upper right.
I'm flattered, since biomanufacturing is one of those careers I would have loved to gone into and still daydream about. I'll have to be content hoping I contributed in some small way to a young un-directed mind choosing pathway that solves the worlds biomanufacturing problems.
If you happen to be reading this, young inquisitive mind, go look into synthetic biology. I'm particularly excited about algae bioreactors, in the desert or in the ocean. Don't worry about pathway optimization in the organism, there are plenty of people doing that -- figure out how to make lots and lots of the cells in a continuous flow bioreactor. Optimize for high-volume, make it energy efficient.
Last point -- close as many loops as possible.

SWTCA had its Spring Tool Show and Swap Meet at Hickory Hollow in Houston, Texas May 8th.
This is The Inhuman Tool, arch nemesis of The Human Tool. He has the ability to absorb powers from any model that he tears a piece off of. In this case, he’s taken from the Stairfighter and gained flight capability and enhanced strength from reinforced struts on his limbs.
The Inhuman Tool originally served as the first Human Tool, but after reaching his full potential as a hero and graduating to the rarest and most powerful green separators, his hunger for even more power warped him into something evil. Now he’ll stop at nothing to absorb power from all Lego models in creation.

UAE has offered many business and career opportunities, over the years, for new business start-ups and job seekers. The business market demands more tailored skills, which adds pressure and increases competition to produce the best candidates and promising start ups, from the national pool. In addition, National SMEs have been supported by the government to flourish and access the latest tools and industry information. The UAE thematic workshop will focus on the new opportunities, offered by two remarkable initiatives in the UAE, for National Job Seekers and National SMEs.

My tool box. Everything I could possibly need in this little tin. Now if I could only remember to put it in my project bag.
