OXO Barware, designed by Eleven
Eleven's latest line of OXO Bar tools photographed by Christopher Harting.
This image is for the challenge from the Flicker group Macro Mondays where the task was to show an image "Straight Out of Camera". I decided that the best way to show this idea was to photograph the old tools that I had still around.
In the frame are a roll of film, a stack of Cokin filters, and my Pentax KX camera.
Snapped using a Pentax K10D using the smc P-FA 50mm F1.4 lens with a Cokin Diffuser filter and a 13 mm Extension Tube. Shot in raw and used the controls in the camera to process and give a color tint to the JPG.
I've got the demons within
I've got to brush them all away
I feel the demon's rage
I must clean them all away
Yeah, yeah...
Excite to scream them away
Cobwebs in the way
That magic cleaner oh
Shine his smile on me
Yeah, yeah...
I am the demon
Cleaner who saves the day
I get the backwall
And important they'll always stay
Yeah, yeah...
If only one thing that you know
Imposters from the show
They'll try to trick you into
Normal treatment
Oh don't you listen to them say
Shush them all away
I am the demon cleaner
Madman so
I am the freedom cleaner
Standing naked here to say
I'm the only way...

At this month's Open MAKE: Tools event, visitors were invited to explore their own creativity with our four Featured Makers from around the Bay Area, who shared their art, ingenuity, and techniques.
Guests made needle-felted creatures with Moxie, created three-dimensional shapes by sewing sheets of fabric together with Judy Castro, fused plastic with clothes irons, used sewing needles and conductive thread to make circuits embedded in bracelets and badges, and used motors and other tools to take Light Painting to a whole new level.

The South Sudan Women's Peace Network (SSWPN) held a one-day consultative workshop on the Compromised Peace Agreement at Juba Regency Hotel on 3 November, 2015. SSWPN is sending representatives to nine states of South Sudan to discuss the Compromised Peace Agreement with local communities. "The Peace is a tool for transformation, state and national building", a SSWPN representative stated to women's groups in attendance, assuring them that it has been passed by the national Legislative Assembly.

Lledo was a British manufacturing company founded in 1982 by Matchbox co-founder Jack Odell, and Burt Russell,and based in Enfield. The factory produced mainly die-cast scale model commercial vehicles, and also cars, from 1983 to 1999, when the company went into bankruptcy.
Models were later made in China. "Lledo" was a reversal of Odell's own surname, a mnemonic device from war days in the African desert so as not to forget his wireless call sign.
History:
Days Gone.
Lledo set out to specialise in replicating early Matchbox series styles, particularly the Models of Yesteryear range. Odell and Russell bought machinery from the Universal company, which had purchased the Matchbox plant and shipped it to Macau. The tooling they purchased was re-shipped back to Enfield, England where in April 1983 the new Days Gone range was launched. The name is a nice continuation of Matchbox's nostalgic "Yesteryear" theme.
The first Lledo models appeared on the market in early 1983. These were a horse-drawn tram, a horse-drawn milk float, a horse-drawn delivery van, a stagecoach-like omnibus and a horse-drawn fire engine. One of the more popular models was the Ford Model T van introduced later in the year.
Lledo promotionals
The promotional market became Lledo's bread and butter, and the aim was to provide variations to be offered for different businesses. Of the hundreds of Lledo variations appearing in the first six years of production, all were based on only thirty basic castings.
The Model T, especially, became the basis for a series of limited edition models for gifts and promotions. Different from the original Matchbox Models of Yesteryear line, there were only a selection of basic castings which were commonly produced in limited edition promotion runs of 500 or 1000 models. For example, the basic Model T delivery van was produced in more than 170 different liveries.[6] Meanwhile, the horse-drawn vehicles were produced less and less, the last one appearing in 1984. The London Double Decker bus was a popular promotional; it appeared in many forms like "Vimto-Keeps you Fit", "Madame Tassaud's Wax Museum", or the "Boys Brigade" model whose intent was to raise funds to provide safe drinking water for third world countries. Another promotional example was the VW Transporter van which appeared in Pepsi, 7 Up and Bosch spark plugs liveries, amongst many others
To distinguish promos from traditional "Days Gone" series models, model baseplates were differentiated. Either "Days Gone" or "Lledo Promotional Model" began to appear on the chassis, according to need. Most models were produced by Lledo, but several 'Code Two' models were manufactured and sold to second parties for label and logo application previously agreed to by Lledo.

Foreign marketers
Some Lledos were sold in the U.S. under the Hartoys name, headquartered in Florida, and mainly selling a series of trucks to be sold in supermarkets and drug stores. One of these Hartoys lines was called the "Fantastic Set o' Wheels". Perhaps because of the diecast expense, these did not last long and did not become popular, despite fine craftsmanship and notable brand liveries. By the early 1990s, Hartoys was using Chinese diecasters to continue to make models, now called the "American Highway Legends" (AHL). One example was the 1939 International A&P truck. Other Lledos were marketed in the Netherlands under the Edocar name.
This is one of my recent measurement tool repair projects. I've got this piece from eBay in partially functioning condition. I was unable to find the actual manufacturing date, but the latest date of a patent listed on a package goes back to 1935. This makes me believe that it was made by still existing B.C. Ames Co. sometime right before the Second World War. It has 0.0001″ resolution and 5-0-5 large (⌀ 3.5″ or 89mm) bidirectional dial. Both graduation and text were not screen-printed but written (probably, using a pantograph copying tool).
This tool is now perfectly functional and quite accurate even after almost 90 years.
To bring it back to life, I had to:
- disassemble it and clean some moving parts,
- realign hand shaft to make it perpendicular to the face plane,
- restore black oxide finish on a hand tip,
- size, fit and replace the dome (I used a glass from some old alarm clock rather than a celluloid dome that has been used originally because I didn't find a good replacement).
