A pattern-welded blade by Pete Mattila of Hobart.

This particular blade is one of a trio of such hand-forged pieces created by Pete, artist, designer and blacksmith.

Pattern-welded steel is often mistakenly referred to as 'Damascus steel' but there are notable differences in production techniques, chemical composition and metallurgy in a historical sense. Sufficient differences in fact to start whole wars on blade smithing forums so not going there... :-)

This particular blade is made from railway steel and another, higher carbon steel being forced together under extreme temperature and pressure - either by press or hammer.

The unique banding in this one-piece blade comes from the many layers being twisted very tightly together at the end of the welding process and when close to white hot. The blade shape has then been hammer forged out of the circular blank. The twisting is visible in the handle.

They are a very pretty blade after pickling in acid then strong coffee :-)

The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker,

and all of them going to the fair.

The Dicken's Christmas Fair to be exact. It's a Victorian visual feast between now and Christmas at the Cow Palace in Daly City. It's well worth a visit if you're local.

This lady is technically a candle maker and not a candlestick maker, I guess.

This is the manufactures mark, cast into the surface of a cast iron cooking pot. It is 2 and half inches across, hence the tight crop.

Originally, the logo would have been pressed into the surface of a sand mould into which molten iron was cast.

This pot turned un in the back of a building I was clearing and after an hour with a wire brush and a tin of graphite based Grate Black it now looks splendid.

Photo of this bread maker was taken on the West Bank of the Nile in Luxor during one of my trips to Egypt during the 1990s. Again, is a scanned image.

Long exposure taken from a great spot at the Narrow Neck Peninsula in Blue Mountains. I loved the strange rock pattern in the foreground and loved the motion of the trees and clouds. To me the trees looked like a dream maker, weaving the fabric of the clouds and creating their motion towards me.

silvercrest yoghurt maker is my latest buy from a charity shop £10

i love it!! very easy to use. nothing fancy. it's simply a warmer with an on and off switch, a pink pot, a white pot, two lids and a strainer. that's all i need.

you tube video is to show the parts of the yoghurt maker not the 'advice' given by the gentleman www.youtube.com/watch?v=50Lxg9Q3o1w (from 01.22 to 02.05)

i followed this yoghurt making you tube recipe www.youtube.com/watch?v=6laRiO7iaOU having used this recipe when learning how to make yoghurt during covid lockdown.

please note

the milk must always be boiled first, then removed from the heat and only added to the pink container each time when the temperature has dropped from boiling to 110fah www.youtube.com/watch?v=6laRiO7iaOU

1. i made my own yoghurt culture using chillies placed at the bottom of the pink container and 110fah whole milk poured into the pink container just covering the chillies, placed the filled pink container in the yoghurt maker, replaced the lid and switched on flic.kr/p/2kzNqmg i left the milk and chillies to process for a few hours, until set

(see video www.youtube.com/watch?v=6laRiO7iaOU from 00.32)

2. i removed and discarded the chillies from the set yoghurt culture (1) and gradually poured 110fah whole milk into the yoghurt culture in the pink container to about halfway up the container, gradually stirring to prevent lumps, placed the filled pink container in the yoghurt maker, replaced the lid and switched on flic.kr/p/2kA7gKN i left the blended milk to process for a few hours until set

(see video www.youtube.com/watch?v=6laRiO7iaOU from 01.47)

3. when set, for the final time (2) i repeated the procedure by gradually pouring extra 110fah whole milk into the blended milk of procedure (2) this time to fill the pink container, stirring to prevent lumps, placed the filled pink container in the yoghurt maker, switched on and left it for a few hours, until set

(see video www.youtube.com/watch?v=6laRiO7iaOU from 03.50)

4. i decided to strain the final set yoghurt of (3) though it can be eaten unstrained

the yoghurt maker is switched off. i poured the set yoghurt from the pink container into the meshed strainer and placed the filled mesh strainer inside the white container to collect the whey, the watery liquid, from the strained yoghurt and covered with the lid

every so often i removed the whey from the white container and then returned the yoghurt filled strainer into the white container to continue straining the yoghurt

once i was happy with the texture the strained yoghurt was ready.

notes

by adding salt to the yoghurt in stage (3) and removing all the whey in the final stage (4) the set yoghurt would become creamy soft cheese

(see video www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6Z01S3GIGI&t=0s )

i'll make soft cheese another day :) flic.kr/p/2oqw3Q5

in the past to make the yoghurt i would have wrapped a lidded saucepan of warm milk in an electric blanket switched on to a low setting and safely placed both upstairs in a bedroom for hours.

a welcome tip to keep the milk at a constant warm temperature at each stage of the process sent from John Freshney www.flickr.com/photos/139753516@N02/

that method worked well for me when learning yoghurt making but this yoghurt maker placed on the kitchen work surface quietly processing is a game changer. simple, fun, much quicker and very happy with the result :)

ps i'm not recommending any of these cookery adventures. they suit my taste. photographing to encourage myself to eat more healthily

www.flickr.com/groups/cooking_is_my_hobby/ helps to gather ideas and encourages me to continue with healthy eating by learning from others if you're interested in cooking, sometimes or a lot, or enjoy the cooking of others, you're always welcome ...

In Cairo, Egypt there is a whole road designated for the tent makers. These people are highly skilled and very artistic. We were amazed at the level of detail in these pieces as they are hand made. We ended up buying the brown reddish one in the middle of the image.. It now hangs in our house as a reminder of this trip.

velvia colors: retouched by a digital filter

made with picnik or photoscape software

define Velvia:

a reference positive film with a finer grain, RMS 9 , very saturated colors under daylight, high contrast, and exceptional sharpness.

__ e.g.

Maker: Fujifilm

Speed: 50/18°

Type: Color slide

Balance: Daylight

The original incarnation of the film was called "Velvia for Professionals", known as RVP, a classification code meaning "Reversal/Velvia/Professional series".

Today marks the final day of the Unknown Maker project. This project started in spring 2021 and it started all with a stack of tea towels that were around 100 years old. All the items in the book were found in thrift stores, on fleamarkets or gifted to me. There are examples of crochet, knitting, lace, tatting and embroidery.

All the items in the photographs are hidden in pockets. These trimmings are hidden in the pocket with the green embroidered blocks.

There is a video of the book but it is too long to put on Flickr. Here is the link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEKf2Mfn0dk

The Petřín tower, Prague, Czech republic

For awhile now I've had a mask maker version of Makuta built, but never got around to taking photos of him out of a lack of motivation. However finally got around to it.

I know this is likely a build seen many, many times before.

I will say this, the hammer does function, and I tried to make it a mix between the JTO version and 2015 animations version, which I think I accomplished well. I would one day like to replace the grey bits on the hammer with black, but don't have the spare cash right now to do so.

*Shrugs*

Also yes, that is Tahu's Chest plate, partially rubbed off. Thought the bit of red looked nice and reflected Makuta's Corruption.

WONDERFUL MAKER ~ Jeremy Camp

You spread out the skies over empty space

Said, "let there be light"

To a dark and formless world

Your light was born

what a wonderful God

The ruins of what was once the second largest hat maker in the north east. Later the buildings were expanded and it became a fabric recycling plant. It now sits empty by Madam Brett Park in Beacon, NY.

One of the things that impressed me about the film props on display at the Harry Potter Studio Tour was the really minute detail on display. This mark was on an orrery prop–there's no way anyone would ever see this detail on screen, only the folks who made this, and perhaps an actor who was particularly attentive, would see it at all. It didn't need to be there, but it is.
