The Learning Studio hosted a workshop organized by Michael Swaine and Amy Franceschini, in which 12 local artists were invited to make tools that expand our natural perceptual limitations.
This is actually turning out as a good lighting experiment. I started using a bounce flash, drop light, and white deflectors. This finished wood can be lighted so many different ways!

This location opened in February 2014; it was originally a Peoples Drug, which opened in 1987. It became a CVS Pharmacy in 1994 and Fashion Bug in summer 1998, which closed in 2013.

Elsecar Heritage Railway, Elsecar, near Barnsley, UK. Young Soldiers from the Army Foundation College at Harrogate invade the railway to help with track and fencing on the extension and Hemingfield site.
You'll need small and medium flat screwdrivers, needle-nose locking pliers (generically known as "Vice-Grips", though I used Craftsman this time), a second pair of pliers (preferably needle-nose), a Phillips screwdriver, a fairly heavy pair of wire cutters (yes, you can use a Dremel motor tool with a cut-off wheel if you have one), and a old butter knife.
Because spring steel can be brittle (especially 40-year old spring steel!), you probably should wear safety glasses. Gloves, too, if you are accident-prone.
The replacement spring will be made from a length of generic repair spring, available from most hardware and home improvement stores. Seems like Lowes has a different brand and selection every time I go. I use springs about half an inch in diameter made from ~1mm wire. The original spring has a diameter between 5/8" and 3/4", but it seems like all the repair springs that size range are MUCH thicker wire. Five dollars will get you enough material for at least a dozen hip springs.
By Tony Cragg
Tony Cragg (born 1949, UK) is one of the world’s foremost sculptors, constantly pushing to find new relations between people and the material world. In the 1980s, Cragg began to make sculptures suggestive of architecture...
These totemic piles of found objects and machined parts suggest an industrial counterpoint to the history of man-made achievements, while his other work nearby, Tools, made from sandstone, conveys the opposite, being hand wrought versions of mechanical aids, such as screwdrivers and mallets. Cragg sees no difference between the natural and the artificial, preferring to acknowledge the bridges between the two, the synthetic here acquiring figurative qualities in some of the bust-like tools, while his stacked turrets of spacers, washers and engine spares travel back through time to suggest archaeological accretions and geological strata.

Part of Everything at Once
Presented by Lisson Gallery and The Vinyl Factory at the Store Studios, 180 The Strand
October-December 2017
Lisson Gallery opened on Bell Street in 1967, a year after John Cage’s pronouncement on the changing conditions of contemporary existence. In celebration of this anniversary, the gallery is partnering with The Vinyl Factory to stage ‘EVERYTHING AT ONCE’, an ambitious group exhibition inspired by these words, which could very well apply to our current anxiety-ridden age of ceaseless communication. Through new and historical works by 24 of the artists currently shown by Lisson Gallery (out of more than 150 to have had solo shows over the past 50 years), this extensive presentation aims to collapse half a century of artistic endeavour under one roof, while telescoping its original aims into an unknowable future.
As Cage predicted, we increasingly live in an all-at-once age, in which time and space are no longer rational or linear concepts and great distances can be traversed with an instantaneous click. More than ever before, contemporary art, like life, assaults us simultaneously from all angles and from anywhere on the globe, existing also as multisensory visions of an accelerated world.
In response, ‘EVERYTHING AT ONCE’ is neither a chronological exhibition nor an encyclopaedic history of the gallery’s activities since 1967, rather it is an interconnected journey incorporating 45 works exploring experience, effect and event, invoking immediacy and immutability. Ranging from text to installation, painting, sculpture, performance and sound, the selection presents some of Lisson’s leading artists, of both the past and present...

I had a pair of Craftsment duck bill pliers that happen to fit in the slots of my old suntour freewheel just perfectly. Add a block of wood to hole the pliers open tightly against the outside walls of the freewheel, anadjustable wrence and a pipe for leverage and you have one hillbilly freewheel removal tool.
