Child size, finished. Pattern to follow after test knitting. Lots of hats tend toward the feminine wearer, but this one is for everyone. Fun for today's woman who knows her way around a set of tools, and for men, boys and girls who love being "handy" Infant, Child and Adult sizes.
Unknown camera tool.
The head has the form of a sprocket wheel so my first guess is that's ment to drive something. Maybe to cock a shutter which is removed from the camera.
The outer diameter of the head is 6mm and it has 18 teeth. The hole in the head has a diameter of approx. 3mm.
More information very welcome.
At this month's Open MAKE: Tools event, visitors were invited to explore their own creativity with our four Featured Makers from around the Bay Area, who shared their art, ingenuity, and techniques.
Guests made needle-felted creatures with Moxie, created three-dimensional shapes by sewing sheets of fabric together with Judy Castro, fused plastic with clothes irons, used sewing needles and conductive thread to make circuits embedded in bracelets and badges, and used motors and other tools to take Light Painting to a whole new level.

A few years ago we inherited a box of ancient woodworking tools. They had been handed down through various family members but had originally been owned by my wife's uncle who died in the 1960s. I found this little wood plane still in its original case with a set of instructions.
Tools: Contax 139 Quartz, Zeiss 50mm f1.7, Ilford Delta 3200. Process and scan by Exposure Film Lab.

Late eighteenth-century kitchen tools beside the cooking fire at Grand Portage National Monument, on Lake Superior in northern Minnesota. It was quite clear to us that the friendly lady overseeing the kitchen could explain and demonstrate every one of these.
This purse has a buttery soft turquoise suede lining ... and a matching blue birds on the back and under the front flap too.
Yes, the tradition continues. A new tool for each project. This is the lowly paint scraper. The edge is not a razor blade but more like a squared-up card scraper. This way if you push or pull it across a surface the 90deg sharp edge will scrap, but not dig in like a razor blade would.
From the "wood finishing" class I took at Lee Valley, the biggest tip I got was that while it is necessary to sand between coats, you don't necessarily need to use sand paper. A scraper like this is good enough between coats to get rid of raised grains or dust specks.
There is almost no problem that cannot be solved by the quick use of power tools and rubber gloves, yellow rubber gloves.
This is one of my recent measurement tool repair projects. I've got this piece from eBay in partially functioning condition. I was unable to find the actual manufacturing date, but the latest date of a patent listed on a package goes back to 1935. This makes me believe that it was made by still existing B.C. Ames Co. sometime right before the Second World War. It has 0.0001″ resolution and 5-0-5 large (⌀ 3.5″ or 89mm) bidirectional dial. Both graduation and text were not screen-printed but written (probably, using a pantograph copying tool).
This tool is now perfectly functional and quite accurate even after almost 90 years.
To bring it back to life, I had to:
- disassemble it and clean some moving parts,
- realign hand shaft to make it perpendicular to the face plane,
- restore black oxide finish on a hand tip,
- size, fit and replace the dome (I used a glass from some old alarm clock rather than a celluloid dome that has been used originally because I didn't find a good replacement).
