For this weeks theme on Macro Mondays a Detail of a gardening Hand tool. I have spend the better part of this and last weeks Saturday removing roots with this tool. HMM
I like to think of myself as a steel mill train aficionado, though one facet of the subject I've never managed to frame up before are ore trains - the start of the entire process. This is mostly because all of the steel plants near me have direct lake access - and thus receive most bulk materials by boat. There are quite a few ore trains that still run in the United States, especially in Minnesota and Northern Michigan - two regions I have yet to visit - but none directly around me. EXCEPT Canadian National's as needed runs from Minnesota down to the Gulf, U724 and empty counterpart U723.
These trains were the subject of a recent conversation I had with a buddy from up north, which reminded me that I had, in fact, caught one last winter on the IC. This is an empty northbound, rolling thru Pesotum, Il. I hadn't yet heard about these trains at the time, and initially mistook it for a unit stone train - evidently it's quite hard to distinguish the modern ore jenny from rock hoppers. Nevertheless, I attempted to chase it for the simple fact that it had neat rolling stock - but, already running out of light, that dream came to a swift end when, in Tolono (the next town north of here), the train would be stopped at the NS as the day met a swift end.
It was still a two hour drive home from here, and about 30 minutes into it we drove straight into a blizzard - heavy snow and winds, whiteout conditions, freezing highway. It was rough! It seemed like every time I visited the IC (which was quite frequently last winter) it would end driving into similar snowy conditions.
The CN still runs these ore trains, and I would absolutely KILL to do another one of my 100+ mile chases of one down (or up) the IC sometime this winter. But as 90% of all unit trains go, they run as needed, so I will need quite a bit of luck and then some...
An aside on the title, for those who care. I absolutely fell in love with the IC around this time last year - and from a photographic standpoint, the line really only works in dead-of-winter January gloom. Bark Psychosis' (my favorite music artist, as some of you may know) album Independency was playing on every single trip, and every track on the album shares a similar sort of vibe with the line. Tooled Up is the particular track I was listening to when I was editing this, take a listen if you can:
NiSi NM-180 manual focusing rail. A good and precise tool, not as good as the Novoflex Castel XQ II rail I use with my bellows, but it still does the job fine when manual focus stacking is needed.
Composite shot made up of 11 focus-stacked exposures, set automatically using the built-in function on the Z7 camera. Stack processed with Helicon Focus. Nikkor Z 50mm Æ’/1.8 S lens.

Phase one. Cutting, filing, drilling, sanding, finishing, hammering.
This is my "dirty" area. I have another spot for assembly and final finish.
Just recently, I added an area for flame! yay!
Nowadays, it's called a hex wrench; it's used for putting hexes on things. Photo taken with off-camera flash, using green paper as background. Focus is on the face of the short end of the wrench.
Tool (noun) - a device or implement, especially one held in the hand, used to carry out a particular function.

Macro Mondays theme 'Hand Tool'
I used a Hektor 150mm 2.5 projector lens for an increased magnification
I chatted a bit about pens, inks and stuff over at "The Tools Artists Use" (thanks Bill Turner) Its severe art nerdy as I go on about my favourite pens and what I carry around with me ;)
started building a new set of ice climbing tools and thought i would document the process. i have a few shots of other welding projects, but they mostly are just a few snaps of this and that and so on...so anyway, here we go. © design
this series documents the work done to the handle portion of the tool. ice tools have a pommel or plate at the lowest end of the tool that serves several goals. those are the protection of the fingers from impact on the ice, helping to keep the hand from sliding off the end of the tool and there is often a small spike that can be driven into the ice to aid in your stability.
in this series i slotted the end of the tubing so as to insert a nut into the shaft. into this nut, i will be able to thread the plate that will keep the hand from sliding and also the spike that will be welded to the plate. at this point, the plate is unshaped. the final shape of the plate will be created later.
