This is an unusual tool- it's used to clean piston ring grooves on motorcycle pistons when re-ringing them.
Four variations of multi-tools by Gerber and Leatherman. Two Gerbers on top and two Leatherman on the bottom. All very useful.
What amazing hard work it is to tool leopard print into leather!! The painting is so painstaking and delicious: it allows the kid in me that loved to make things "just so" free rein.
The challenge is over now, but I took a few more tool shots that I liked. I liked this one much more in B&W
The School begins classes once each year, early in October. Students are divided into sections of 12 students each, and get two hours of classroom instruction and six hours of shop instruction per day, Monday through Friday 8am - 5pm.
Basic Boatbuilding is the focus of the first semester, which runs from early October to late December.
The instructors assume that most, if not all, students have no woodworking skills and proceed from that assumption. The skills taught in the first semester are those essential to boatbuilding, and the course, for that reason, is very "hands-on".
Students learn to sharpen and use all their tools, and participate in a wide range of individual skill-building exercises, from learning to make the joints commonly used in boatbuilding to a series of tools. Students learn to draft and make a half-model. Then, working in pairs, they learn to loft a boat full-size on the floor. Finally, working, together as a team, the semester culminates in December as students work together to build a flat-bottomed skiff.
This is a student's shoulder box, or tool chest.
The Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding is located in Port Hadlock WA and is a private, accredited non-profit vocational school.
Our mission is to teach and preserve the skills and crafts of fine wooden boatbuilding and other traditional maritime crafts.

This spark plug gapping tool is about 35 years old and it works quite easily. The resulting gap is perfectly parallel between the electrodes. A spark plug can be gapped in just a couple seconds.
In use, the spark plug is drawn upwards with the "feeler gauge" set between the electrodes. The upward pressure against the "anvil" adjusts the softer side (ground) electrode to assure a perfect gap.
This is the Tool Cake that I made for my husband's birthday today. It is a Red Velvet Cake with milk chocolate ganache filling. My 5 year old son insisted that I make tools to go on the top of the cake, I was planning to do a plain madhatter type cake!! The tools are all made out of modelling paste.
Saws date back at least to the early Egyptians, who used copper hand saws were about half a meter long and worked much like today's knives to saw their way through soft materials.
The Greeks and Romans improved the basic design of the saw by introducing wooden frames for supporting the blade and setting the saw teeth alternately, in order to get a better more accurate and easier cut.
The big breakthrough for the humble hand tool came after 1650, when the process of rolling wide strip steel was developed in Sheffield and Holland. Wider bladed saws made it possible to do away with the wooden frame, and the steel hand saw, as we know it, was born.
English saw makers developed the wider type handle still in use today, while continental makers produced a pistol-shaped handle. The fact that a saw can "sing" was discovered both in Europe and in the U.S. at about the same time.
As furniture and joinery work became finer and more detailed, specialist saws were developed to help craftsmen achieve the desired effects. Sash, tenon, keyhole and dovetail saws were developed with thinner blades, finer teeth and steel or brass strengthening bars began to appear, together with new types of open handles for ease of use.
Today's hand saws use double-sharp steel edges to cut through wood, metal and just about anything else you can imagine. The diversity of specialty saws is staggering. Saws do everything from prune a hedge to hacking through drywall. Take a moment to appreciate the diversity and the handiness of the humble hand tool, the saw.
The Tool is a sixty-inch triple chrome-plated adjustable pipe wrench, forged by the Ridge Tool Company of Elyria, OH, USA. It is the only known fully chromed pipe wrench of its type in the world, and is the mascot of the University of Waterloo Engineering Society. Its history goes back to the early days of the University.
In the late 1960s, the Engineering Society had no official mascot. Being barely 10 year old, the Society decided to begin the process of selecting and acquiring an object that would become the Society’s official mascot and icon – something to represent the immense pride and spirit that Waterloo Engineering had.
Several ideas were discussed, but the two most popular ideas for a mascot were a pipe wrench (a symbol of the “Plummer and Proud of It” attitude championed by Ken Loach, Chemical ’71), and a sword. Through a public vote in meetings of both Society “A” and Society “B”, it was determined that the wrench would be the mascot, and it would be big.
Jim Pike, Society “A” President at the time, then began the search for the new mascot, and while on a co-op work term, found a suitable choice: the Ridge Tool Company’s straight pipe wrench model No. 60. However, at a cost of $350, it was unattainable for the young Engineering Society.
Jim decided to send a letter to the Ridge Tool Company and explain what they wanted to do, what the wrench would mean to the society, and if they would donate one. The company’s response was an overwhelming “yes” with only two conditions: that it would be known as “The Ridgid Tool”, and that it would retain its original orange colours out of respect for the Ridge Tool Company.
The Tool was chromed within a few hours of Pike picking it up from the supplier in the summer of 1968, although he admits that he “should have had a Chemical Engineer along to explain what happens to orange paint in a chrome dip.” As for the name “The Ridgid Tool”, he won’t say what exactly happened, except that it did get lots of mileage and notoriety before the official name change.
With The Tool coming to the University of Waterloo, it was determined that a group of dedicated students was needed to protect it and thus, the Action Committee was formed. It was their duty to be the official guardians of the Tool in public and in private. Over time, these students came to be known as Tool Bearers, and the Action Committee was dissolved. There are no publicly known details about the Tool Bearers today, except that whenever the Tool is around, they are as well, silently guarding it in their black and gold uniform.
We went round to my nans on Sunday to get the veg planted. First job was to rake the veg plot. Within second the end was off the rake. This wouldn't be so amusing if it wasn't for the fact that every single time I go to my nans I break her garden tools. I'm begining to think she puts all these duff tools out and about, already bust, so that I break them and buy her brand new ones. What a cunning plan.
