A rusty collection of wrenches and spanners at the Coach House, Yeldall Manor, near Hare Hatch, Berkshire, UK.
I used my betel nut box from Thailand but any box would work. My box measures 8.5x9.5" , 8" high with the depth of the container part 2.25". I used several sizes of pharmacy bottles to create separate compartments. Now I can easily find the tool I want to use with the added benefit of being able to carry all the tools to different "clean" work spaces.
Twenty years ago, after 20 years of marriage, I found myself divorced and living alone for the first time in my life. A bit of a shock to the system. Anyway, I decided I should prepare myself for my new life and thought I might need some tools for ... I had no idea what ... but one day I might find out. So, I headed out to a DIY store and bought myself this tool box together with a few tools to put in it. They still look as good as new. Strange, that. An electric screwdriver is obviously a lot more useful but, hey, it's good to have a colourful tool box buried in the garden shed. :)

The 6/11/18 topic for Macro Mondays is Hand Tool, and while the small piece of this tool shown here is probably unrecognizable to most, it is a tool that I used a lot back in my woodworking days, 30 or more years ago. It is a 2¾ inch portion of a spoke shave (see the whole thing in the first comment). I could never stand a straight line and was always shaving off the edges in order to create more flowing, sculptured lines, and this spoke shave saw a lot of action. Unfortunately, after a few decades rattling around in the back of my tool drawer, it's looking pretty battered now, but in its time, it served me well.

Old motorcar tools, if only they could talk about all the jobs they have been used on over the years. "Tools".. "Crazy Tuesday"..
I was perusing an antique store/furniture refinishing place the other day. Fairly dark and stuffed to the brim with stuff. I wandered into the back and was faintly surprised to see a man working. Very friendly guy. We played the name game for a while...Richmond is like that. The light was good and I asked if I could take his picture. He was reluctant. I don't usually meet with reluctance but I really liked his face...a bit grizzled...unshaven with white stubbly hairs that glinted in the light from the glass door. So I pushed it a bit. He told me that I wouldn't be able to capture him but I could try. You know. He was right. I snapped and snapped and snapped and never could get the essence of his energy. An animated talker, the frames on my camera all froze his face in odd expressions. He said he was used to that.
Forty minutes later, I left with a couple of gifts (one old skate....I was thinking of Eve N. Less when he offered it to me...and a bag of coffee beans for my husband) and no portrait!
Tools used for fixing whatever damage winter has done to a vineyard – weak stakes and missing or rusted-out wire guides, mostly.
Well, this time, at least!

These tools are sparingly used. DIY is not really my forte, and I prefer to use my hard-earned income to pay a professional to do jobs properly. I don't even know what the thing on the right is (don't worry; I don't really want to know).
Taken because on 2 April 2022 the Hereios of the We’re Here! Group are shooting DIY Home Decor.
A close-up of the well-used handles of tools in a woodworking workshop. I liked the warm red colour of the handles and the textures of the worn paint and wood.
She’s got the tools, she’s read the book, and she’s open for business! Come on down! You can trust all your bicycle repairs to Stella Savannah.
For the theme “bicycle repair” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. I wanted small tools for this picture, and I knew I had seen them in the doll house miniatures section at Michael’s in the past. I stopped in to look for them and I was dismayed by how empty that section was…but there was ONE package of tools left! Score!
The house I live in is a little over a century old. Built by my great grandparents back in the day. The staircase to the second floor has a white wall-to-wall carpet that dates back a few decades. The carpet was well glued to the stairs, but it was also on it's last leg as it had started to fall apart here and there so earlier today I took this scrape and began removing the old carpet.
