This drill press belonged to my dad, hence the 'R. PRODOEHL' written on it. This is one more tool now occupying the "2XL Makerspace" in sub-level 1.
My friend Jim loves his power tools - he got this new weedwhacker (industrial model), you can tell by his face -- he loves it.
Jim makes me smile, he is always so full of energy (he is 19 years younger than me, but I don't think I had his energy at his age).

Amongst tools the monkey wrench is the lowest of the low; a bodger's tool - I count myself in their number.
Recently, everything I own seems to need some repair or other. It's getting so I just can't keep up. My processions are starting to own me.

What I brought to work today for my anti-static project. Heartfelt thanks to Jim for giving me the roll of 3M Core Series 2-0300 tape before he split for the boot.
Multi-tools are worthless in my view. Too many years in the saddle has made me wary...paranoid if you will. Only things missing here is Allen Set and the mini-crank puller. It's heavy but it inspires confidence. Handles the basics and some loaded touring mishaps like loose crankset, pedal, headset., or chainring bolts. FiberFix kit is real handy once you know how to use it. Only good for one spoke though.

A very precisely sized tool, this one is part of an old TA tool kit. This is perfect for #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.

These Stone Age tools were found at the Cradle of Humankind, a World Heritage Site famous for all the fossils that have been discovered in the area
A positive scanned from a paper negative. I used a W.Butcher and Sons "The Clincher" falling plate camera at around 10 second exposure. As I was the photographer I set up the time exposure on the camera then raced into shot, hence my more ghost like image . Some sepia and gamma adjustments made with ACDSee software.
