Hitachi’s slogan “inspire the next” was evident at Tameside College as myself and my peers enjoyed a photo-shoot endorsed by the company featuring their new selection of power tools.

A break in the recent turd weather gave me a chance to have a play with the new rgb torch I have made whilst the weathers been so poor. Here with a little dome tool spinning and three badly aligned domes. Also set off a smoke bomb which didn't being much to the party.
I have the upmost repect for all the highly polished shots I look at on here. I find that there is so much to think about and trying to execute the shot I have in my head seems nigh on impossible in the dark. I'm sure in time everything will fall into place and if it doesnt then I'm still having a buzz whilst doing it.
RGB torch is a 10w pool bulb mounted in three interlocking guttering reducers. A momentary switch mounted on the side powered by 8 aa batteries. Ive also fashioned a mount for some bubble rod which is due to arrive soon bodged together from a light fitting and a 15mm stop end. Cheers fastchris and stu8fish for the advice and pointers for its construction.
Nice 1.

Got the opportunity to take some pictures of these tools that belonged to a gentleman who had no formal training but he did have a gift of being able to repair almost anything. Always interesting to see what tools other people have used - these were probably last used in the late 80s??

The cultivation of wine grapes relies on the hard work of people who toil in early morning, cold hours and in hot, bright conditions that keep those little grapes coddled in perfect conditions.
tools that have been passed down to me from those that have come before me.
my mother, a very talented seamstress/dressmaker gave me the tape measure that i use all the time. i can barely sew a button on.
the little tack hammer came from my father. he liked to tinker around with things.
the little snippers belonged to my mother's father who passed away right before i was born.
i use these tools all the time and think of my loved ones when i do.

What is an Aboriginal quarry?
Aboriginal quarries are places where Aboriginal people took stone from rocky outcrops to make chipped or ground stone tools for many different purposes.
Not all types of stone were suitable for making tools, so an outcrop of good stone that could be easily quarried was a valuable resource.
Aboriginal people quarried different types of stone, each with its own special value and use. Stone tools were made from greenstone, silcrete, quartz, quartzite, basalt and chert. Pigments were made from quarried ochre, and grinding tools were made from sandstone.
Some quarries are small, consisting of just a single protruding boulder. Other quarries incorporate many outcrops and areas of broken stone that cover thousands of square metres.
What to do if you find an Aboriginal quarry...
do not disturb the place or remove any material
check whether the place has the typical characteristics of an Aboriginal quarry
if it does, record its location and write a brief description of its condition
note whether it is under threat of disturbance
please help to preserve Aboriginal cultural places by reporting their presence to First Peoples - State Relations.
Where are quarries found?
Aboriginal quarries are generally found on slopes where erosion has exposed the stone, for example, the slopes above creeks and rivers, on the sides of old volcanoes and on ridges.
How did Aboriginal people quarry stone?
Aboriginal people used at least two methods of stone quarrying. One method was to strike the surface of the outcrop at an angle with a hammerstone. Manageable pieces of stone broke off with minimum effort. This method scarred the rock face and left scattered broken fragments around the outcrop. The hammerstone was sometimes left at the quarry site.
The other method involved digging around and under outcrops to find buried stone. The purpose was to find manageable chunks of stone that were unweathered. Such digging created pits and trenches.
The early stages of stone tool making often occurred at the quarry. Tool manufacture added to the debris produced by quarrying. Aboriginal people used hammerstones, anvils and grinding stones, which were often left at the quarry because they were heavy. Sometimes, unfinished tools such as ‘axe blanks’ were also left behind.
What else looks like Aboriginal quarrying?
Natural weathering can create outcrops that appear similar to Aboriginal quarries. Uneven fractures and splintering on the outcrop face can resemble flaking scars. Weathering also produces large quantities of angular pieces of stone that look like stone tools. First Peoples - State Relations can provide an expert assessment of your discovery.
Why are Aboriginal quarries important?
Aboriginal quarries tell us a lot about Aboriginal stone tools, such as the types of stone used, how stone was obtained, and how the tools were made.
Aboriginal quarries also provide a rare glimpse into the fabric of past Aboriginal society. Quarried stone was often traded. Stone axes from one of the most important quarries in Victoria, at Mount William near Lancefield, have been found right across south east Australia.
Knowing where stone was quarried, we can learn more about the networks that existed between different groups of Aboriginal people. Most importantly, quarries are an important link for Aboriginal people today with their culture and their past.
Are Aboriginal quarries under threat?
Human activities such as mining, road building, damming, clearing and construction can disturb or destroy Aboriginal quarries. Natural processes such as weathering and erosion can also cause the gradual breakdown of stone outcrops.
First Peoples - State Relations records the location, dimensions and condition of Aboriginal quarries. The aim is to have a permanent record of this important part of the heritage of all Australians.
Management works around Aboriginal quarries, such as stock and erosion control, help preserve the sites for future generations.
Are Aboriginal quarries protected?
All Aboriginal cultural places in Victoria are protected by law. Aboriginal artefacts are also protected.
It is illegal to disturb or destroy an Aboriginal place. Artefacts should not be removed from the site.

Recently I have been using more and more various water soluble pencils and pens. And I found using them incredibly versatile last week in Melbourne. I love especially painting over outlines made in by watersoluble tool and fading or losing the line- this is something I picked up during my Singapore trip (one of the many things I learnt from Paul Wang- thanks Paul!)
So here are the tools that I used (and bought!) last week. Plus an additonal one (graphitint warm grey) that I was handed to try when I did this page.
I have written a long blog post with notes of the various tools I used in my Melbourne sketchbook.

Using water soluble pens and pencils is something that we will be looking at in my upcoming sketching classes in Manly - starting in a few weeks. There are still places available - more details on my blog
