Feelings overcome thoughts on this road alone to work today...am I bound to follow it and not deviate on my way? Choices I plead myself to make, abandon or forsake...is there a difference in which I choose to take? Two sides of myself in doubt, who will win I ponder?... I must bury my fears deep down under, I surely cannot continue on towards my own life like this much longer...
(Just to give a little more insight as to the title -> on the left is a fabric factory, to the right a political poster "vote to win" , she definitely was walking towards work....and everyone at the time had politics and decisions on their mind....everyone promising 'new' 'better' or even 'brighter future'.....seemed interesting that I caught her in between it all in the middle. World recession and many jobs lost....and decisions to be made with the future of who runs the country hmmmm....sometimes you cannot control it all in life but move on and continue, tomorrow is another day.....)

Title
Denver, Colorado. Twenty-four hours a day the sparks from acetylene torches of steel workers in eight Denver fabricating plants are flying thick and fast that the U.S. Navy may carry the battle to the enemy in all parts of the world. Here in secluded Denver, the world's largest city not on a navigable waterway, this war production worker, who has never seen a battleship or an ocean, fashions the steel hull parts which are being assembled at Mare Island Navy Yard--1,200 miles from where he and his fellow wokers are on the job to help "keep 'em sailling."

these are a couple of fabricated female androids just finished in the workshop ...... we have a seperate workshop for the male androids .....
thanks for looking in & hope you have a great week
Quiet secluded nights in the Northern Cascades of Washington. Constructed by hand from natural materials found in the surrounding forest, this incredible home and work of art offers a relaxing getaway as well as an intimate connection with nature.
As much as I find inspiration in renaissance paintings and timeless imagery, I am just as attracted to technology and the future of it like virtual reality. It's a concept that I've always wanted to explore and will continue to do so.

My lungs are weak from all this fabricated air
Weeks go by and I still don't have the strength to lie, but I try
The line was crossed and now its time to start over
There's gotta be something that I give a damn about

And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?
This is another shot from yesterday! I have one more for tomorrow. That's nail polish on my face, in case you were wondering. I'm off to physio today and then going to dinner I think. Everyone is being super top secret about the plans, but I was told to "look pretty". Hmm...
I recently promised myself I would stop forgetting to upload photos to my Facebook page, but now for some reason Facebook isn't letting me post anything. It won't even let me view other people's photos. SO FRUSTRATING.

Pilkington's Metal Marine Fabricating & Machine Shop, 950 Cordova St E, Vancouver BC.
This is my second visit to Picklington's shop on East Cordova Street. The machine shop started operation in 1948 and contains several metal milling machines that are of that era. This time I went all the way in and asked if I could take photos. It is amazing to see the old equipment still operational and in active use. Many of their machines were built by Victoria Miller in London, England.
Some history from: www.lathes.co.uk/victoria/
You can see accompanying photos at the web site.
Victoria Millers were made by the Victoria Machine Tool Company Ltd., of Victoria Road, London N.W.10, England and marketed in later years by the Elliott group - the machines often carrying "Elliott" rather than "Victoria" name plates. Heavily built, and very reliable, they were widely exported and are to be found all over the world - though despite a range of more modern machines being developed, the factory closed in 1972. The millers were all of sturdy "workshop" rather than toolroom quality, and their use has now largely passed down into the hands of smaller professional workshops, repair organisations and enthusiastic amateurs lucky enough to have larger and better equipped premises.
Although, over many years, Victoria made a wide variety of machines these were often based on a common column and with parts shared across the ranges - it not being unusual to find a miller with its castings marked with different numbers. The machines illustrated on these pages are from the H0 and UO and 'M1' range that consisted of the 'U1', 'V1' and P1 types. However, the larger versions in sizes U2, V2, P2, U3, V3, P3 and U4, V4 and P4 were all very similar. The Universal Model "U" (for Universal) had a swivelling table which often included, as standard, a power-driven 3.5" or 3.75" centre height Universal Dividing Head, The "P" was a plain horizontal machine (usually with non-swivel table) and the "V" a vertical-only model.
Machines from the U1, V1 P1 range all had a 34" x 8.5" table with three T-slots, a travel of 21" and was arranged on the "Universal" ("U") models to swivel 45 degrees in each direction. Automatic stops were fitted to trip the 6 power feeds that could be varied between travel rates of 0.300 and 6.25 inches per minute. The vertical travel was 14" - by hand only. Six spindle speeds were provided (with the option of either a two-speed motor to double them or, on some models, a double-diameter pulley) and these generally ran from 30 to 500 rpm; a 2 hp motor was usually standard - and all three millers weighed approximately 23 cwt.
As might be expected, vertical milling attachments were also available, in this case two models, both with No. 3 Morse spindles. Both weighed around 100 lbs with the "Universal" head incorporating a second swivelling action designed to allow the machine to undertake a much greater variety of work. The body of each head was located on the V ways at the front of the main column and the swivelling head was held in turn on a deep spigot by four bolts. A horizontal shaft, which ran on twin taper roller bearings, transmitted the drive through spur gears from the main spindle - and then by spiral bevel gears up to the vertical spindle that ran in tapered phosphor-bronze bushes, adjustable for wear. Because the drive was not taken directly from the line of the horizontal spindle - but "stepped up" - there was a useful increase in clearance beneath the head and, because of the gearing, a doubling of the speed to give a range from 60 to 1000 r.p.m. The clearance between the face of the column and the centre line of the spindle was 9.5" and the distance between the table top and the nose 12.52 in the case of the Universal attachment - and 14" in the case of the ordinary.
trying to create a mesh like effect as if the face has been made from a wire framework....she's supposed to be an android that looks human.....suppose it's a bit futuristic....
thanks for looking in.....appreciated.....best bigger.......hope you have a Great Weekend
From the Valentine’s Day launch – burning love & rockets!
It was a perfect launch day. A film crew from Discovery Channel was shooting a special called “Time Warp" with high speed cameras.
They did a mockup of a A4 (V2 precursor) for their example. It was about 18’ tall and fabricated out of aluminum. They had it rigged to begin lifting off, tip over and explode on its side on the pad.
a "historical reenactment" of an "A4 testing accident". In other words, Time Warp hired a pyrotechnician to blow up an A4/V2 mockup that they built, using about 60 gallons of gasoline, some det cord to disburse it into a cloud, and a burning puddle of gasoline and a bunch of titanium ignited by a black powder charge to set the cloud alight.

Here's a series of 12 shots took from the top of Stainborough Castle, which is a Grade II* Listed Building. It was quite overcast that day. I estimate viewing range was 3-5 miles.
Stainborough Castle is a sham ruin (fake castle) constructed as a garden folly on the Wentworth Castle estate.
In 1727, Thomas Wentworth began building the folly. He wanted to give the impression this estate had been in his family for centuries. In fact he purchase the the estate in 1708. Thomas called the folly Stainborough Castle and renamed the main house Wentworth Castle. To show off his estate, Thomas invited his cousin and rival at Wentworth Woodhouse for an extravagant feast in the castle grounds.
From January to June 2021 work was carried out to improve the condition of Stainborough Castle. Funded by Barnsley Council, the project preserved Thomas Wentworth's creation so that visitors can carry on enjoying it for years to come.

On Thursday March 22, 2018, my Railfan Friend Jim and I visited Kirby Farm in Williston, Florida to witness the beginning of a Place for Critically ILL and Disadvantage Children. Kirby Family Farm is Focused on Railroad and Agricultural History !
Kirby Family Farm will not open officially open for at least a full year, since there is much work to be done. They have assembled a great number of discarded Carnival Rides, Narrow Gauge Locomotives, 18 Ringling Brothers Circus (Passenger) Cars, a few Circus Wagons, a former USAF End Cab Switcher and various Surplus Trucks donated by US Government Agencies. Some of the former Steam Locomotives have been converted to Diesel-Mechanical and were formerly used by various Theme Parks such as OpryLand and Bush Gardens Williamsburg.
This Photographs shows Narrow 2 Foot Gauge 2-4-0 Steam Locomotive #3, built by Porter in 1910 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as #5, S/N: 4643. This locomotive has been modified by Custom Fabricators Inc. from Steam to Diesel-Mechanical by Custom Fabricators Inc., Johnson City, Tennessee. It last operated at Opryland, Nashville, Tennessee and is NOT Operational.
The Kirby Family Farm Website is at: kirbyfarm.com
The Kirby family Farm is located at: 19650 Northeast 30th Street, Williston, Florida 32696. They can be reached at 352-812-7435.
They are looking for Volunteers !
The Kirby Family Farm has hosted "6 Gun Territory Re-Enactments" during through the 1960's. aka: "Six Gun Territory" featuring Sam Huston. They also feature Christmas and Easter Celebrations and Fund Raisers.

You're always holding on to stars
I think they're better from afar
Because no one is gonna save us
This is the last photo in my mini series!
I teach a class- for a Charity's Winning Bidder- and KYLE- was this years wing bidder.
The idea is that I transfer my knowledge and skills to another individual- who know NOTHING- about Steel Fabrication, and in- on 4-6 hour session- the learn to WELD, to Cut Steel, to DRILL STEEL ,and to properly fabricate an object- from a drawing.....which-
is what KYLE's (so proudly)
got here!

The main purpose of my trip to England was to meet and get to know John Nicholson. Let me tell the story... back in 1861, in Manchester England, two brothers Ben and Stephen Massey started a machining company that eventually focused on manufacturing power hammers. These power hammers were extremely popular around the world. The early times were tough because the first customers were cotton mills in England but they were suffering because much of the raw cotton came from the US which was in a civil war and there was blockades that reduced the cotton supply. This forced them to look outside of England to other industries to grow their business. During world War 1 and 2, the company thrived creating forging machines for companies supplying the war effort. During the visit, John and Alastair Nicholson gave me a rare copy of a book called the "Sons of the Forge" which told the story of the Massey family and the company. The Massey's not only were inventive in the features they built into their hammers but they were very progressive in how they treated people and ran the factory. For as good as the product and company was it eventually succumbed to the economics of the modern world. There were over 10,000 forging hammers manufactured by Massey when they were in business. Many are still in operation today.
John's father Alastair had worked for Massey in the factory when it was an operating company... and knew power hammers and the need for a continual supply of quality parts and service for the hammers. John eventually purchased the intellectual property, and rights to the Massey marks and with his father started Massey Forging Limited.
John's really has two businesses... one is rebuilding old Massey forging equipment and supplying parts for Massey owners. The other business is importing Anyang Power Hammers into the UK.
The factory was a trip back in time. There were ink drawings of old power hammers that date back to before the 1900's (there were no blue print or copy machines back then.) There was a room where they stored ink drawings and eventually blue prints of every Massey hammer that was ever made.
As I got to spend a full three days with John and Alastair I received a new appreciation of just how much they knew about pneumatic power hammers of all sizes... John is truly a world expert on power hammers. I have incuded several pictures of John's operation. John in his spare time (what he has) makes Damascus knives.
To learn more about Massey, John has two websites:
John and Alastair, thank you for sharing the time and knowledge.
