The School begins classes once each year, early in October. Students are divided into sections of 12 students each, and get two hours of classroom instruction and six hours of shop instruction per day, Monday through Friday 8am - 5pm.
Basic Boatbuilding is the focus of the first semester, which runs from early October to late December.
The instructors assume that most, if not all, students have no woodworking skills and proceed from that assumption. The skills taught in the first semester are those essential to boatbuilding, and the course, for that reason, is very "hands-on".
Students learn to sharpen and use all their tools, and participate in a wide range of individual skill-building exercises, from learning to make the joints commonly used in boatbuilding to a series of tools. Students learn to draft and make a half-model. Then, working in pairs, they learn to loft a boat full-size on the floor. Finally, working, together as a team, the semester culminates in December as students work together to build a flat-bottomed skiff.
This is a student's shoulder box, or tool chest.
The Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding is located in Port Hadlock WA and is a private, accredited non-profit vocational school.
Our mission is to teach and preserve the skills and crafts of fine wooden boatbuilding and other traditional maritime crafts.

Egypt's Last Hope
This enormous tank presents an interesting contrast with contemporary British designs. American manufacturing techniques, using sophisticated machine tools, not only speeded up production but also ensured high reliability. Even so Britain insisted on modifications to the American design which resulted in a different turret but both types saw service with British forces. Those with the original turret were designated Lee, those with the British style turret were Grants.
The main asset of the tank, from the British point of view, was the 75mm gun which could fire high explosive and armour piercing ammunition. The former was the perfect answer to Rommel's imaginative use of anti-tank guns and there is no doubt that Grant tanks were largely responsible for halting Rommel's attack during the key battle of Alam Halfa.
For all that the Grant was a difficult tank to fight in. The low position of the main gun meant that it was impossible to conceal and the tank often had to swing round in order to bring this gun to bear. Riveted construction was also a serious liability by 1942 while the 37mm gun, in the turret, was all but useless.
Tanks of this type were first used in Western Desert in 1942. Mechanically reliable but soon superseded by Sherman.

Long Island Tool Swap - June 22, 2022 - This is a series of tool swap meets that I've been promoting.
This is the tool we use to clip the custom BrickArms. It creates a really even cut on one side but leaves the other side ragged and damaged as you can see in the inset picture with what's left of a Vampir's light.
Tagged! A few days ago Astrid tagged me... So I searched around for a picture of myself. A picture that might describe and show something new but also something that show a bit of my personality.. Here we go!
1. I love old cars! This is my cousins classic, restored by himself in his teens. I both like to tinker with classics as well as use older cheaper cars as my daily drive... If anyone wonder, I run a Ford Fiesta 82 now..
2. I´ve mentioned my fling about history earlier on... That have now also evolved to me taking interrest in old photos. Restoring them and trying to find the history around them. It´s great fun but time consuming!
3. History again... Sorry! Somehow I derailed and started to try out old equipment! For now I use a pair of russian rangefinders along with my trusted Leica. We tend to think of everything new as better... That is ofcourse right to some extent, but the old tools still work!
4. Winter... I hate winter!!! It break every plan, it hits like a sledge hammer and crash plans.. Boooooo! To that it´s also cold here in Sweden!
5. I love the winterlight.. But only the light! The snow and the cold could be exported to someone in better need of it...
6. This is such a overused frase... But, I have a dream! And that is that my documentary pictures should live on describing the lifes of people here in my village... Well it´s a dream... as good as any...?!
7. I have a habit of misplacing things... Much time is then spent looking for those poor lost items..
8. I´m time optimistic! It´s to easy to start new projects.. And to little time to finish them. Can that be related to Einsteins theory about the relative time?
9. I love mixing different ages! I see no problem with using film together with photoshop processing afterwards. Neither do I see a problem with clothes mixed together from second hand stores...
10. Another dream of mine... Even if I mostly shoot pictures that could be described as documentary I greatly enjoy pictures of more artistik style. So I realy hope that there one day should be no borders between different styles of photo!!! That everyone could accept others work without complaints... All artistik work have it´s place somewhere!
Finally, this is for you Astrid! This picture was certainly shot with an old ancester to your modern Pentax. I know my cousin hade a Pentax Spotmatic back then... The dream camera of that time!

The first power tool that I bought, and I'm still using it 35 years on! I never did get around to buying a table saw.
Tools. I love tools. Though I like using clean, pristine tools... I love used, grubby tools.
Sorting through my dad's old toolboxes and insane stashes will be a big task, but a lot of fun!
