PRIMITIVE GERMAN TYPECASTING TOOL WITH HANDWRITTEN MANUAL
I got this single letter typecasting tool from a family in St. Gallen. They've had it from their family letterpress printshop which closed down somewhen in the late 80ies.
It is a tool with which you could copy some single large bodied leadtype sorts. In the handwritten manual it says: You would cast a lead-matrix (YES! LEAD-MATRIX...) from a piece of type. It says: Blacken the letter first with an oil lamp, then cast a matrix – the lead shouldn't be to hot. Then you use a oil-lamp to blacken your fresh cast matrix again and off you go casting a letter...
It says further that they bought this tool somewhen in the 1920ies from Berlin! It is still in its original box! It also says that it works pretty well, if you get trained a bit... haha
I didnt try it out yet! But I am really happy that this old men wrote a short manual before he packed it up to archive it in the late 1980ies!
I'm not much of a gardener and never manage more than keeping the grass cut and the brambles at bay, but I do have some well-used gardening gloves and a few tools.
I was experimenting with lighting on an illustration I'm doing for a project at work - why the library catalog is the best place to start (the #1 basic research tool, etc.)
Which one color or black and white???
Thanks to all who stop to look and comment. I will be sure to look at your photostream and leave a comment
This is the pegboard I installed to the left of the work desk. I keep planning t paint it some nice, perky color, but I have not gotten to it yet.
Tried out some tools someone used in a video tutorial. Realized to late, that it turned out kinda Pin up - esque.
On my work table (the dining-room table), some tools and some sketchbooks:
I acknowledge,organizing myself with Sketchbooks is really a challenge I never won. I have different quality and sizes of them, for pencil drawing and for watercolour, some in France and some in Limburg, some for the daily sketches and some for travels… They are often gifts and I like each of them all for it specificities.

In July, my wife and I joined family to see the Historic Crab Orchard Museum in Tazewell, VA. Here is a scene from the Carpenter's Shop.
The sign on the Carpenter's Shop reads...
"Carpenter's Shop
Most early pioneers were skilled in carpentry, since homes, barns, and workshops were usually wooden.
Many days were spent in the forest using hand saws and axes to cut large trees for walls, boards, and shingles. Strong horses with ropes could be used to drag the large trimmed logs to the building site.
At the building site, tools of precision were used, such as the broad axe to hew out logs for walls, the froe to split shingles or shakes for the roofs, and the auger, used to drill holes for pegs, which essentially help hold the structure together.
More experienced carpenters had shops for their business, displaying expertise in making the finer wooden products. A farmer could trade livestock or fresh vegetables for basic furnishings such as doors, tables, and chairs. Using precision tools such as a hand plane or chisel, more admirable pieces like walnut hutches, chestnut mantles, or spinning wheels were fashioned."
Surprisingly, the tool I use most on my iPod (tool) is the calculator. I also use my camera (tool) every day.

More vintage tools. This Master No. 279 smoothing plane was one of my late father's woodworking tools. He bought it before I was born in the early 1950s. Probably made in the mid-1940s. Shot with a Canon 5DS at ISO50 & Sigma 35mm f1.4 Art Lens.
We're taking a new approach to how we perform critical inspection and maintenance of subway components that are necessary to providing reliable service -- FASTRACK. The third implementation of FASTRACK is taking place on the Sixth Avenue B/D/F/M Line from 57 Street to W 4 Street from Feb. 27 to March 2, 2012. Because a section of the subway is closed to trains for seven consecutive hours, FASTRACK is a safer and more efficient way to maintain and clean New York City's sprawling subway — a system that never closes.
With no trains running along Sixth Avenue, 800 MTA employees are able to inspect signals, replace rails and cross ties, scrape track floors, clean stations and paint areas that are not reachable during normal train operation. Workers also took the opportunity to clean lighting fixtures, change bulbs and repair platform edges while performing high-intensity station cleaning.
