What best object to chose from for the "Iron" topic of the weekly Macro Mondays challenge, than an old rusty woodworker tool?
I've bought this antique Stanley plane for a few bucks and on a whim, some time ago, because it looked so interesting, and put it aside with the intention to try bringing it back into a working state at some time.
You can't tell from the picture, but it's a so-called "Circular plane", that allowed the woodworker, with the turn of an adjustment screw, to give is sole a concave or convex shape.
While researching about this model (Stanley No. 113) a few minutes ago, I realized that this tool is older than I thought, as it had been produced between 1877 and 1942! Mine seems to be of type 2, that is between 1880 and 1891.
This makes it suddenly even more interesting, but I'll think twice about how to restore it now...
Oh, and it definitely fits the bill for this week, as its construction is stated as "cast iron"! 😊
Rust never sleeps!
This is a crash beam on an old wagon at Gilfach ddu,which is at least 50 years old,it has seen better days.
That's a title of an album by 'Neil Young' which came in my mind spontaneously when I made this shot....I found that in Greece too, so you can see that there's a lot to dicover apart from landscapes and cultural highlights...
Thames Path at Ewen. The wind pump was used to pump water from the River Thames for agricultural crops. However, the wind vanes have collapsed and hang below the water storage tank, which is rusting away
Another rusting car resting along the Slippery Elm Bike Trail. I'm not an expert but it kind of looks like an old Dodge Charger. It was the only remnant of a garage that was torn down a few months ago.

"Rusted Gear Motor" by Patti Deters. In this close-up of an old rusty motor gear, you can see corrosion and flecks of rust on the thick metal. There is a bolt on the top with a powdery layer of decay. The orange coloring of the copper coils inside the round motor housing almost matches the rust on the rest of the piece. I'm not sure what this mechanical object part was used for, perhaps some sort of industrial engine part? Please see more of my artwork at patti-deters.pixels.com/featured/rusted-gear-motor-patti-....
The former NSB Maschinenbau Kiel (MaK) Di-8 locomtives provide the main source of traction around Scunthorpe Steelworks. 8.703 is seen in the rusty environs of the works with a train of empty billet wagons.
The locomotives were built in 1996-1997 for Norwegian State Railways but were gradually replaced by EMD Class 66 and Vossloh Euro types. With plenty of life still in them ten of the class were sold moving initially to Redcar steelworks. When Redcar closed they moved again, to Scunthorpe, mainly replacing the YEC Janus types.
The large Bo-Bo types have Caterpillar CAT 3516 DITA engine which generates 2,110 hp and a top speed of 75mph, although it's doubtful that they will see anywhere near that speed on the lines around the steeworks.
