Caulking Tools at the Maine Maritime Museum - Bath, ME 20-Aug-07
Traditional caulking (also spelled calking) on wooden vessels uses fibers of cotton, and oakum, which consists of pieces of hemp fiber soaked in pine tar. These fibers are driven into the wedge shaped seam between planks with a caulking mallet and a chisel-like device called a caulking iron. The caulking is then covered over with a putty in the case of hull seams, or in deck seams with melted pine pitch in a process referred to as paying.
This black and white with a slight vignette really gets you close to the tools. I added a slight red filter to give the shade of grey I wanted where the red would be.
Feel free to weigh in with which photo in this series is your favorite or critiques on any of them.
A friend asked me to make cupcakes for her neighbour couple who are always happy to lend their tools.

The idea of a tool the size of a small cheese pizza being called a "Micrometer" just rankles my sense of logic, that's all.
Nifty box, come to think of it. I should have asked how much he wanted for these. Looks to be just the thing to carry a document with a sense of ceremony about it, like the terms of a bar bet or your top-secret Academy Awards predictions.

White Cliffs, Far Western NSW
White Cliffs is a small town in outback New South Wales in Australia, in Central Darling Shire. It has a population of around 200. White Cliffs is around 255 km northeast of Broken Hill, 93 km north of Wilcannia. Most people live underground in "dugouts" to avoid the high temperatures.
The town was established in the late 19th century when opal was discovered. Opal has been mined ever since. The first Australian Opal was found 20 years before in Queensland in 1872, when a party of kangaroo hunters were operating in the White Cliffs area. One of them, who had left the party to track down a wounded kangaroo over some low stony hills, picked up a pretty stone which appealed to him. When taking back the stone, they suspected it could be Opal which the local jeweler confirmed. He advised to get as much Opal as possible since this could be more profitable than Kangaroo hunting. When the group filed a claim, Opal had not yet been listed under gemstones, and it was decided to file the claim under the "Gold Mining Act".

Search for "White Cliffs NSW" on Google Maps and zoom in on the white area. Each hole you see is an individual opal mine, 1000s of them

This large, heavy duty item is an artifact from the Lackawanna RR. You can see "DL&W" imprinted on the top tong.
My assumption is that this article was either a tool to move wooden railroad ties with or a device employed in moving ice in The Lackawanna RR Ice Houses, located in Western NJ, or for moving ice blocks in the the rr's ice boxes or refrigerator cars.
At any rate, it is an interesting item, and if any one could shed any light on its actual use, please let me know...thanks!
