Old motorcar tools, if only they could talk about all the jobs they have been used on over the years. "Tools".. "Crazy Tuesday"..
The National Slate Museum is located at Gilfach Ddu, the 19th-century workshops of the now disused Dinorwic quarry, within the Padarn Country Park, Llanberis, Gwynedd. The museum is dedicated to the preservation and display of relicts of the Slate industry in Wales
I was perusing an antique store/furniture refinishing place the other day. Fairly dark and stuffed to the brim with stuff. I wandered into the back and was faintly surprised to see a man working. Very friendly guy. We played the name game for a while...Richmond is like that. The light was good and I asked if I could take his picture. He was reluctant. I don't usually meet with reluctance but I really liked his face...a bit grizzled...unshaven with white stubbly hairs that glinted in the light from the glass door. So I pushed it a bit. He told me that I wouldn't be able to capture him but I could try. You know. He was right. I snapped and snapped and snapped and never could get the essence of his energy. An animated talker, the frames on my camera all froze his face in odd expressions. He said he was used to that.
Forty minutes later, I left with a couple of gifts (one old skate....I was thinking of Eve N. Less when he offered it to me...and a bag of coffee beans for my husband) and no portrait!
A close-up of the well-used handles of tools in a woodworking workshop. I liked the warm red colour of the handles and the textures of the worn paint and wood.
These tools are sparingly used. DIY is not really my forte, and I prefer to use my hard-earned income to pay a professional to do jobs properly. I don't even know what the thing on the right is (don't worry; I don't really want to know).
Taken because on 2 April 2022 the Hereios of the We’re Here! Group are shooting DIY Home Decor.
The house I live in is a little over a century old. Built by my great grandparents back in the day. The staircase to the second floor has a white wall-to-wall carpet that dates back a few decades. The carpet was well glued to the stairs, but it was also on it's last leg as it had started to fall apart here and there so earlier today I took this scrape and began removing the old carpet.
Inside the Pillar Granary at the Heritage property, "Brickendon", was a table with a large assortment of tools and oddments from the farms working days.
I took this as a 5 shot HDR, as there was only daylight coming through the main doors and some odd windows about the place providing any light, and was thus rather dim.

The wooden tools pictured here were beautifully made by hand by master woodworker Frank Weisner in Australia. I have waited a few months to get them, but they are certainly worth the wait. To give an idea of scale, the sewing frame in the center is only 7 inches wide. The most coveted tool is the lying press and plow on the left, which is used to trim the edges of the book block before the covers are added. The standing press will come in handy to apply the initial pressure necessary after glueing the covers. The other tools on the right are a corner rounder which is not much used in miniature bookmaking (it was sitting on the shelf so whatthehell), and lastly my Schärff-Fix leather skiver which is a must have tool for leather binding.

The perfect spooky activity to do this fall.
The interactive pumpkin features a system which allows you to remove the lid, scoop the flesh, carve the pumpkin and then place a candle inside.
A smaller model is included for child avatars (tested with bebe youth).
A decor pack is also provided which is perfect to use as a photo prop or for decorating your home.
How to use:
-Rez the pumpkin on a suitable surface (Make sure it's facing the right way - the sticker is an indication).
- Stand directly in front of the pumpkin.
- Attach the item named "Pumpkin Carving Tool".
- Click the pumpkin to begin the interactive functions.
I hope you enjoy it guys!
Ah, more petit four lime green arthropods from the National honey bee research station that the MAGLEV will destroy if it goes through. This one is the Northern Crab Spider (Mecaphesa asperata) the first record for Prince George's County, This crab spider provides a little floral surprise. It tucks into flowers and when visitors come to the nectar bar for a quick drink, nabs them and juices them up with venom, often taking down insects quite a bit larger than they are. Imagine if something like that lurked around your neighborhood bar! Photo by Adam Grima. ~~~~~~~~~~{{{{{{0}}}}}}~~~~~~~~~~

We Are Made One with What We Touch and See
We are resolved into the supreme air,
We are made one with what we touch and see,
With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair,
With our young lives each spring impassioned tree
Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range
The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.
