From a mini-project featuring a selection of tools from far off years on my father's farm in Morayshire and which now reside in my garden hut. These hand tools could be sixty or more years old and have a 'rustic character' missing from their modern day counterparts. It's a shame I don't have access to my dad's old tool shed on the farm, as it would have made a great background with its stone walls and racks of miscellaneous tools along with gouged, wooden benches with their bolted-on vices. As a youngster, I could potter for hours on end in the farm tool shed; that was long before the days of health and safety.
The photograph was made in my home-studio and lit only by the modelling lights of my Elinchrom flash units. The sepia toning aids the feeling of antiquity.
Notice how the area in the center shows lines? I've been sanding the plane down. The areas where the lines show have not been sanded down. It's going to take some work. If only I had a machine shop.
THE PAST IN THE PRESENT & FUTURE ... a photographic project inspired by Edgar Martins' series entitled "The Time Machine" and specifically his photo's of the lifting eye, box spanner, etc.
A little project I am doing, taking pictures of some of the hand tools used at work.
I don't know what appeals to me about this, think it might be history of use we can see in each item. If I can think up some better bullshit than this, it might be art.

This is an adjustable 6 inch C-wrench produced by the Crescent Tool Company circa the 1960s. It features Crescent's Crestoloy, an alloy which gave extra strength, while reducing the tool's weight.
Acquired by another company, some Crescent Tools are still produced in the USA, but not in Jamestown, NY anymore, but somewhere in the Carolinas. The rest are "imported".
These are good, reliable tools…..
A pin punch set to remove and install the hub bearings on the Defender's rear axle.
Am-tech not a brand I know but I purchased these off Ebay and at a low cost price.
The packaging does not say, but they are no doubt Made in China.
This is a picture featuring probably the best woodworking tool I own, a Lie-Nielsen jack plane. I don't think I'm worthy of it, but I'm trying to be. I was shaving some paper thin slices off this walnut board and thought it might make a good shot. The image also features a lignum vitae mallet I turned a long time ago, and the bench I made in (you guessed it) 1994.
