What to photograph?
✨Finding the observer, comes awareness!✨
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.
Some of the personal possessions of my late father.
The three miniature hammers, the mini anvil, and the micro adjustable saw, are all tools that he made himself.
All the others have been modified or improved in some way.
He mentored me in many mechanical subjects, and was always trying to improve my understanding of metallurgy. Even as his vision started to fail and his desire to work on things diminished.
He taught me to: live life on my terms. To pursue things that made me happy. To not settle for what was made available, and to always look to improve what was around me.
I'm missing him today as I clean up my shop, and handle things he gave me, things that I learned to make with his help&knowledge.
I am who I am today, because of his support, and his example.
I hope I can do the same for my Son, and Daughter.
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.
Created in Photoshop using Kais Power Tools, a plug-in for Photoshop. 32bit. I still have a couple of them working in a virtual machine running Photoshop 3.1 my original version. Early 2000's.
Still life photo of bike tools taken with a long exposure. The photo was illuminated with a bike light using a “painting with light” technique.
At one time, I would imagine this Sears location had one of the largest Craftsman tool departments in the area. Even when I took this photo, it seemed a little bit bigger than the Whitehaven and former Hickory Hill Craftsman departments.
