Inside the Pillar Granary at the Heritage property, "Brickendon", was a table with a large assortment of tools and oddments from the farms working days.
I took this as a 5 shot HDR, as there was only daylight coming through the main doors and some odd windows about the place providing any light, and was thus rather dim.

The wooden tools pictured here were beautifully made by hand by master woodworker Frank Weisner in Australia. I have waited a few months to get them, but they are certainly worth the wait. To give an idea of scale, the sewing frame in the center is only 7 inches wide. The most coveted tool is the lying press and plow on the left, which is used to trim the edges of the book block before the covers are added. The standing press will come in handy to apply the initial pressure necessary after glueing the covers. The other tools on the right are a corner rounder which is not much used in miniature bookmaking (it was sitting on the shelf so whatthehell), and lastly my Schärff-Fix leather skiver which is a must have tool for leather binding.
Some of the personal possessions of my late father.
The three miniature hammers, the mini anvil, and the micro adjustable saw, are all tools that he made himself.
All the others have been modified or improved in some way.
He mentored me in many mechanical subjects, and was always trying to improve my understanding of metallurgy. Even as his vision started to fail and his desire to work on things diminished.
He taught me to: live life on my terms. To pursue things that made me happy. To not settle for what was made available, and to always look to improve what was around me.
I'm missing him today as I clean up my shop, and handle things he gave me, things that I learned to make with his help&knowledge.
I am who I am today, because of his support, and his example.
I hope I can do the same for my Son, and Daughter.

A group of nice old bicycle tools from arround the early 20's or 30's two of them are marked Burgers E.N.R. (Eerste Nederlandse RIjwielfabriek) which means the first Netherlands Bicycle factory.
I knew that some tools where marked with the name of bicycle brands and where supplied with the bike for maintanance during a cycling tour.Most of the time there was also an small oilcan in the litle bag enclosed. I am searching for an nice toolbag in brown leather for my old Fongers bike which i am restoring on the moment.
