Hopefully just sneaking this in!
These are a couple of my wife’s leather craft test pieces, plus a couple tools of the trade!
New tool day!
I've been fortunate to have access to a full range of frame prep tools, but having these in house will help production speed.
Great mix of Park, Cyclus and Stein tools.
Huntington Beach, California
A young skilled surfer tests the waves on a summer morning in Huntington Beach which is also know as Surf City USA.
The morning was overcast and so the water did not display its usual clarity and color. The advantage though is the lack of strong shadows on the surfer's face. Wave Tools happens to be a brand of surfboard. It is not my intention to advertise for them, but thought that in this photo, the board provided both an interesting commentary and a splash of needed color.

I gues she has watched to many home improvement shows with us and now she is sleeping on the tool bench!!LOL
The "Empty Quarter" or the "Rub' al Khali" is the largest contiguous sand desert in the world, encompassing most of the southern third of the Arabian Peninsula. The desert covers some 650,000 square kilometres including parts of Saudi Arabia, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. It is part of the larger Arabian Desert. One very large pile of sand!!!
The desert is 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) long, and 500 kilometres (310 mi) wide. Its surface elevation varies from 800 metres (2,600 ft) in the southwest to around sea level in the northeast. The terrain is covered with sand dunes with heights up to 250 metres (820 ft), interspersed with gravel and gypsum plains. The sand is of a reddish-orange color due to the presence of feldspar. There are also brackish salt flats in some areas, such as the Umm al Samim area on the desert's eastern edge. Along the middle length of the desert there are a number of raised, hardened areas of calcium carbonate, gypsum, marl, or clay that were once the site of shallow lakes.
These lakes existed during periods from 6,000 to 5,000 years ago and 3,000 to 2,000 years ago. The lakes are thought to have formed as a result of "cataclysmic rainfall" similar to present-day monsoon rains and most probably lasted for only a few years. Evidence suggests that the lakes were home to a variety of flora and fauna. Fossil remains indicate the presence of several animal species, such as hippopotamus, water buffalo, and long-horned cattle. The lakes also contained small snails, ostracods, and when conditions were suitable, freshwater clams. Deposits of calcium carbonate and opal phytoliths indicate the presence of plants and algae.
There is also evidence of human activity dating from 3,000 to 2,000 years ago, including chipped flint tools, but no actual human remains have been found. The region is classified as "hyper-arid", with typical annual rainfall of less than 3 centimetres (1.2 in). Daily maximum temperatures average at 47 °C (117 °F) and can reach as high as 51 °C (124 °F). Fauna includes arachnids (e.g. scorpions) and rodents, while plants live throughout the Empty Quarter. As an ecoregion, the Rub' al Khali falls within the Arabian Desert and East Saharo-Arabian xeric shrublands. The Asiatic cheetahs, once widespread in Saudi Arabia, are regionally extinct from the desert.
Geologically, the Empty Quarter is one of the most oil-rich sites in the world. Vast oil reserves have been discovered underneath the sand dunes. Sheyba, at the northeastern edge of the Rub' al Khali, is a major light crude oil-producing site in Saudi Arabia. Ghawar, the largest oil field in the world, extends southward into the northernmost parts of the Empty Quarter.

To friends with Ricoh GRs, firmware updates just released, includes an updated zone focus feature. With new firmware and update, you won't need either duck tape or safety wire. ;0)
The most advanced agricultural tool known in the New World before the coming of the Europeans was the Andean footplough, also known as the Chakitaqlla or simply taklla. It evolved from the digging stick and combined three advantages: metal point, curved handle, and footrest.] No other indigenous tool utilized the pressure of the foot in digging up the sod which made it different from all farming implements known elsewhere in the Americas in pre-Columbian times. Although Chakitaqlla is a relatively simple instrument, it has persisted long after more sophisticated technology was introduced into the Central Andes, and its enduring presence demonstrates that more advanced innovations do not necessarily displace primitive forms that under certain conditions may be more efficient.

...the moment in and out of time,
The distraction fit, lost in a shaft of sunlight,
The wild thyme unseen, or the winter lighting
Or the waterfall, or music heard so deeply
That it is not heard at all, but you are the music
While the music lasts.
(The Dry Salvages, Four Quartets, T.S. Eliot)
If you have experienced, no matter how marginally, the painful bliss of it all, why not concede the possibility that others might attempt to center their whole life on this one goal:
...to apprehend
The point of itersection of the timeless
With time....
(The Dry Salvages, Four Quartets, T.S. Elliot)
(They may be eccentrics, granted. In fact, one might have to be eccentric in order to feel so strong a need for zeroing in on this center "at the still point." So what? A need is always the reverse side of a talent.)
-A Listening Heart, The Spirituality of Sacred Sensuousness, Brother David Steindl-Rast

So this is my obsession...and the camera is the tool....always looking for the altar in front of me...where ever my eyes may gaze....and the heart follows....

ODC-the odd one / man out...
Reminds me of that Sesame St. Song..."One Of These Things Is Not Like The Others!"
Stu uses all these tools often with the exception of the big blue Broad Fork at the back, it has two handles and is used for aerating the soil. It is the only blue tool and is made of metal, not wood like the others.
Just some tools from the garage.

of another of my loves...
gardening.
what can i say?
its one of the most calming, rewarding experiences i know.
when i'm in my garden...
physically...
or mentally planning...
i can get lost for hours.
if i go outside to pull one weed...
i look at my watch to see an hour has passed...
especially if i've got my ipod and am performing for the neighbors.
today...
i walked along the perimeter of my garden...
and discovered that i have tomatoes on a few of my plants.
i was ecstatic!
i went back inside...
grabbed my camera...
and proceeded to take photos of tomatoes and flowers...
just beginning to bloom.
it began to rain...
and since i hadn't had my fill of gardening yet...
i came inside, created this photo...
and then proceeded to plant the basil seeds that were given to me with the pot.

Each specialty has its own special tools, which must have been conceived and made out of experience?
Bettering the tools all the time for the job?
Here, two specialists, Willem Vermandere and his woodcuts and Vincent Flachet, a luthier...
We had the honour to visit their workplace.
With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

Today at Crazy Tuesday Group the theme is: tools. Since it is an orange day At Color My World Daily Group, the color for today is orange… And of course, my tiny Mr. Teddy Bear is here since it is a Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday!! So orange tools and Teddy Bear day! How cool is that.
And who is a constant need of tools (of every sizes and shapes) and happens to be a huge fan of orange color? Mr. Kosmo himself!
Tools are truly important in space. You need them to open a bottle of wine, scratch your back, comb your hair before putting your helmet on or just to repair your spaceship. And since Mr. Kosmo is now a new proud owner of red space rocket bought on ebay, he needs his tools! Indeed, the red rocket was slightly used when he got it… and a little bit beaten up (more than specified in the ebay description!). Let just say that this red rocket needs a lot of TLC before going anywhere… But Mr.Kosmo is thrilled: for the second time in his life he feels like a real astronaut !! The first time he got that feeling was when he received his orange suit and put it on for the very first time…
Mr. Kosmo isn’t a handy man (but he is truly handsome under his helmet... so he doesn’t need to be handy...or that is what he likes to think) …. That is why he invited his friend Mr. Teddy Bear who has a very successful construction company. Mr. Teddy Bear isn’t handsome but he is truly handy, so this makes him quite a catch for the opposite sex! Ladies, Mr.Teddy Bear is able to repair anything ! Give him an axe, some scotch tape and a screw driver and he will build a you plane or a spaceship !
Of course, since there is no gravity in space, it is very important to keep everything, including your tools and yourself, glued to the ground. And then the reparation of the red space rocket can begin. Good luck Mr. Kosmo and Mr.Teddy Bear !!!
Have a beautiful orange, tools, teddy bear day!!! Happy Crazy Tuesday, Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday and Color My World Daily to all participants!!
Thank you so much for your support!!! I truly appreciate your positive energy!! I wish you a very happy and awesome day!!!
