If you need a lens hood for a vintage lens (camera), a 3D printer is a great thing. You don't need planes and chisels, of course.

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.
Nothing beats family, friends, wine (homemade by us) and making sausage in the fall. :) The pics arent the best but for me it shows a special time!

Shot in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India.
Every year in January, in the days leading up to the festival of Uttarayan, the skies of Ahmedabad are filled with the merry cries of the kite-fliers chasing and cutting each other’s kites. The least celebrated, yet a crucial part of this are the manjha-makers, who make the kite string by coating it with ground glass with their bare hands. The lack of private workspaces has forced the string-maker onto the streets.
This picture captures the day and night-long toil of the thread-maker as he tirelessly plies his craft in a corner against the daily traffic of the city.
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.
"Ah, it was a time of sharing, of remembering, building, adventuring, dreaming ... but above all, it was the time of my kind, the time of mask makers ... those for whom the art of creating great Kanohi Masks from Kanoka Disks was all that we lived for."
The red light effect is actually an LED tube rolled in some red sheets, complemented with a faint blue light behind his back.

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.
"Well then, this is a predicament isn't it?"
"There's no need to be shy now, I know you're there in the darkness. Step into the light."
"You ask who I am? Well, that is rather simple. What's the saying? 'Meet thy maker'?"
"Ah doubts, they're all around in the hearts and minds of you aren't they?"
"You know, I was once well known decades ago. But times change don't they? What was once important becomes coated in dust."
"It's funny, I know everything about you. Your story, your trials and triumphs. How it all ended."
"But you know nothing of me. I once had an island, friends, a status. They all left in the end, their beautiful minds turned."
"They used to come for me for help, for knowledge. But in the end knowledge corrupts. They saw my grand designs. They wanted no more."
"They called me a maniac. Well, sort of".
"The truth is I am the originator, the crafter, the maker. The Lego and the Ogel. I shaped this reality and have watched it twist away from my designs".
"I am the Infomaniac. And I want to play..."
An idea I've considered over the past year.
The Infomaniac is a strange and curious character. It is said in the Lego Island game that he created Lego island and the Brickster. Which is seemingly a godlike power.
I like to think he could be an eldritch entity in some shape or form. But with a very Willy Wonka like sinister personality.
Originally I was going to use a more sinister looking face. But none really matched the original look of the Infomaniac.
And yes, those are giant minifigure hands 😂
It is not a recent photo, but there are sparkles on it!
"A Little Sparkle" - Black and White Wednesday - 7 Days of Shooting
Parys Mountain. A dramatic landscape of orange and purple rocks, much-loved by science-fiction film-makers. The mountain has been mined for copper and other minerals since Roman times. Some consider it derelict land, others a giant earth sculpture! Public footpaths cross the site and there is on-site interpretation/information by the Amlwch Industrial Heritage Trust. The sulphides in the rocks produce very acid conditions (and very acid waters in the Afon Goch "red river" - actually two rivers which flow north to Amlwch and south to Traeth Dulas) and this and the highly toxic metals still present in the ground result in a very sparse and specialised flora able to tolerate these demanding conditions. Rinsing equipment and footwear in freshwater afterwards is recommended! We were told a long time ago that it was dangerous to take dogs too and washing their paws after a visit is a must.
This is a SSSI site and so it should be, it is amazing and fascinating at the same time.

Last saturday I visited a flea market and found this handmade lace collar which fits perfectly in my book The unknown maker ... happy days!
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.
Himal Viraj leads a team of boiler makers in the Sri Lanka Railways vast workshops at Rathmalana, in the southern suburbs of Colombo. He was hoping to retire this year.
