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.

This was my favourite for a very long time!
Every detail in this cake is edible, Bob, his tools, pilchard, even his piles of cement and sand!
We will make any character cakes that your little ones love.
There is something about perfectly organized woodworking tools that is just so satisfying! Although between us, my favorite tool is the DIY Smart Saw. If you want to check out what it’s about just click on the link! bit.ly/3uUA631
Occasionally it is necessary to make a special tool. This one is for holding the bike rigid in case of stubborn bottom bracket things :))
On the AX, you don't get the deeply recessed logo on the stem head. This is just painted to match the rest of the AX components. BUT... they tossed in a fancy chrome plated sleeve for holding your hex key tool so you would not feel cheated. Afraid this was the begining of far more true cheapness on most bicycle components to come later. Good luck finding any factory etched, engraved, or pantographed components today.

Last week I bought 2 Berg and 2 Nooigedagt chisels in a thrift shop.
The large one (2 inch) € 2.-, the smaller ones € 1.70 each.
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.

Thank' s a lot Roxy!
He was tough as a crowbar, he was quick as a chisel,
Fair as a plane, Lord, and true as a level,
He was straight as a chalk line and right as a rule,
He was square with the world,
He took good care of his tools.
This was taken during the first tour my house, before I'd decided to buy it. The previous man of the house was an accomplished carpenter and builder. He'd died years ago, but his tools still waited, untouched, by his workbench.
The handmade alaia shaping tools. The first tool is made out of two pieces of 1/2 inch cedar, glued together. It has a convex shape. This tool helps make the concave section of the bottom. The second tool is flexible made out of pressboard. This tools helps even out the curved edges. The third tool is rigid and helps even out the straight edges. All tools have 100 grit sand paper glued on to the top with wood glue. The concave tool does not have it's sand paper glued on in this picture.

The “Detour” series focused on real situations as symbols toward understanding what we can achieve and details that recognize new beginnings, energy and change.
Some old tools and other artifacts in the window of Elwood Adams Hardware in Worcester, the oldest hardware store in the country (the business is from 1782, although not in its current location for that whole time.) So that both genders are equally stereotyped in this selection of items, there's "first choice with shopwise men!" on the saw blade box and "Mother's Only Rival" on the pie plate ;)

These tools rock! Sure made all the cutting and fitting a piece of cake. I love that little Rockwell circular saw. I use it everywhere lately. And the Bosch jigsaw--its like a precision instrument.
The first job was to oil all the bearings for the roller drawers, so they would open and close easily.
My old wallet was dying a slow and painful death, and then I killed it with wine. Over the years I've made several mockups as a replacement but could never settle on something I liked as traditional patterns never really accounted for cell phones.
So this is what I came up with!
Here is the interior, there is a slot for bills and a pocket for my phone (as well as candy or chapstick). And of course slots for cards!
