"You can have all the tools in the world but if you don't genuinely believe in yourself, it's useless."

[EN] History of the Ir. D. F. Woudagemaal
The Woudagemaal was built at the end of the steam era. During the 19th and first half of the 20th century large parts of Fryslân were flooded during the winter. To counter flooding in Fryslân, it was decided in 1913 to build a steam pumping station at Lemmer. In 1920, the steam pumping station was opened by Queen Wilhelmina. As the largest working steam pumping station in the world, it still has a practical function in the Frisian water system to this day.
Steam, water and architecture
The pumping station is named after Ir Dirk Frederik Wouda MSc (1880-1961), then Chief Engineer of the Provincial Public Works. He was responsible for the design and implementation of the pumping station in the style of the Rationalism. This style is characterized by the use of ratio and symmetry in the architecture. In the calculation of the mechanical installations, Ir Wouda MSc was assisted by Ir. J.C. Dijxhoorn MSc (1862-1941) of the Technical University of Delft.
Monument on steam
Until the construction of the electric Hoogland pumping station in Stavoren (1966), the steam pumping station was used to control the level of Frisian surface water. The pumping station now only comes into action at extremely high water levels, which occurs twice a year on average.
In addition to emergency pumping stations, this special building is of great importance in other areas. The smokestack with a height sixty meters is a recognizable point (beacon) for skippers on the IJsselmeer. In addition, the building and the steam engines are attractions for architectural or steam enthusiasts.
The architecturally and technically valuable Woudagemaal has been a protected monument since 1977, and has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1998.
[NL] Historie van het Ir. D.F. Woudagemaal
Het Woudagemaal is gebouwd in de nadagen van het stoomtijdperk. In de 19e- en eerste helft van de 20e eeuw stonden 's winters grote delen van Fryslân onder water wat veel overlast met zich meebracht. Om dit tegen te gaan werden in 1913 de eerste plannen gemaakt om een stoomgemaal bij Lemmer te bouwen. Dit gemaal moest de sluizen en windmolens bijstaan in het afvoeren van overtollig boezemwater. In 1920 werd het stoomgemaal geopend door Koningin Wilhelmina. Als grootste nog functionerende stoomgemaal ter wereld heeft het, tot op de dag van vandaag, een praktische functie in de Friese waterhuishouding.
Wisselwerking van stoom, water en architectuur
Het gemaal is vernoemd naar Ir. Dirk Frederik Wouda (1880-1961), toen hoofdingenieur van de Provinciale Waterstaat. Hij was verantwoordelijk voor het ontwerp en de uitvoering van het gemaal in de stijl van de Amsterdamse School. Deze stijl kenmerkt zich door gebruik van expressieve en fantastische vormen, welke verwant zijn aan het expressionisme. Met berekenen van werktuigbouwkundige installaties werd Ir. Wouda bijgestaan door Ir. J.C. Dijxhoorn (1862-1941) van de Technische Hogeschool Delft.
Monument op stoom
De eerste jaren werd het stoomgemaal gebruikt de Friese wateren op peil te houden, echter sinds 1966 komt het gemaal alleen nog in actie bij extreem hoge waterstanden. Sinds dat jaar is het elektrische Hooglandgemaal in Stavoren namelijk in werking.
Het Woudagemaal dient gelukkig niet alleen als hulpgemaal. De 60 meter hoge schoorsteen is bijvoorbeeld een herkenbaar baken voor schippers op het IJsselmeer, en daarnaast zijn het gebouw en de stoommachines trekpleisters voor architectuur- en stoomliefhebbers. Het bouwkundig en technisch waardevolle Woudagemaal is sinds 1977 een beschermd monument en staat vanaf 1998 op de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO.
Tooled up, adjective - definition from Cambridge Dictionary Online: carrying a weapon, especially a gun drill.....!
I couldn't believe the number of tools and parts sitting in the shops at the East Broad Top. It truly looks like you could start back up with operations there and make the railroad hum back to life again! For now, it remains relegated to being a photographer's dream. With a lot of luck, someday it will see operations again.

(Long time MSH members will remember that I made it a point of honour to include at least one Lego picture in my entries for each month's hunt. I see no reason not to continue this tradition.)

This "home tool kit" was designed with women in mind, and it worked! My wife was induced to buy it . . . and that was way before the recent Barbie craze.
Si existe algo que tenga que agradecer en mi vida es haber conocido esta gran banda de seres humanos .

Sometimes people ask me what kind of tools I use to carve my stamps. So here it is. Nothing special. It's just a regular cutter knife. I used to use a bigger utility knife also.
時々、どんなツールを使ってはんこを彫っているのか聞かれるのだけれど、私が使ってるのは何てことない普通のカッター。前はもっとゴツいカッターも使ってたんだけどね。
Tools sometimes develop a value that goes beyond the obvious. Whether it's cars, bikes, mobile phones, glasses, pens, or specifically cameras, it is all the same. In the end they are just tools, whatever brand name they carry.
Wie oft bemisst sich der Wert eines Gegenstandes nicht mehr an seiner Funktion alleine, sondern an unserem Selbstverständniss und dem Markenhype.
War übrigens ein Geschenk, kaufen würde ich mir sowas nicht.
