Tools at a museum at the buffalo mozzarella farm Tenuta Vannulo, the only organic buffalo-milk farm in Italy

Late eighteenth-century kitchen tools beside the cooking fire at Grand Portage National Monument, on Lake Superior in northern Minnesota. It was quite clear to us that the friendly lady overseeing the kitchen could explain and demonstrate every one of these.
My first attempt at light painting.. The Orb...
Light Tools:
1- 200 Mw Green Laser

No photoshopped, I just fixed the exposure on lightroom 3 a little bit...
Location: Parque Fundidora Monterrey México.
For my wonderful husband - I ran out of time as I had originally planned on making him some tools too.. I told him he would be able to guess what his gift was after seeing his cake - any guesses? Chocolate cake with home made strawberry filling - I layered the strawberries between the ganache so the berries would not seep into the cake.
Yes, the tradition continues. A new tool for each project. This is the lowly paint scraper. The edge is not a razor blade but more like a squared-up card scraper. This way if you push or pull it across a surface the 90deg sharp edge will scrap, but not dig in like a razor blade would.
From the "wood finishing" class I took at Lee Valley, the biggest tip I got was that while it is necessary to sand between coats, you don't necessarily need to use sand paper. A scraper like this is good enough between coats to get rid of raised grains or dust specks.
PLease add notes to ID the tools...
All of them recovered from a house that hasn't been lived in for about 40 years
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).
I reworked this with Lightroom and was able to make it come up quite nicely. Shot in late 2006 at Wembley Arena, London, UK
I have expanded the pegboard storage system I inherited. It has taken a year, but I finally have most of my tools organized the way I want. The power tools still need a little organizational help.
I tend to vacation in mining areas....
Cliffs Shaft Mine, in Ishpeming, was perhaps the most important of all Michigan iron mines. There were a few mines which shipped more ore, but this was the first great Marquette Range mine, and it was an important producer for decades.
Now a museum, and definitely worth the stop. Our guide was a retired Cleveland Cliffs engineer, and most informative. To me, the most interesting thing he said was that he doesn't believe the Negaunee/Ishpeming mines will ever reopen, despite significant remaining deep-underground deposits, because the economics seem unlikely ever to justify the effort. I've heard other opinions from apparently-knowledgable people, but this guy seemed to have impeccable credentials.
