This is part of my eclectic hand tool collection,
I must have over 500, they say he who dies with most tools "Wins" :-)))
Wooden Boat School - Workshop. Brooklin, Maine.
I am back home in Florida, at least for the time being. We are facing a possible major hurricane hitting the West Coast next week, and there may be mandatory evacuations...
Part of my antique tool collection, Some are 200 years old,
Molding wooden planes I have the most, That torpedo and and the other level are British, one from Birmingham, the rest on the photo are American,
I had to include 2 of my favorite woods, Tiger maple and Cocobolo rosewood,
It's a very old plane that was in my house when I bought it. It appears to be functional, just a bit rusty and missing the knob at the front.
Augusta, Wisconsin

Action part of an old ten inch hand brace (as in Brace and Bit) for the Macro Mondays group, topic: Hand Tool. Happy Macro Monday!
A 16mm wood cutting tool, this drill bit cuts 16mm circular holes in wood or fibreboard. It is often used to prepare a seating for recessed door handles and hinges on cabinets. I used my vintage Metz 45 "hammerhead" flash unit off camera to light this image.
This is an old Norris A5 smoothing plane circa 1931 that I restored. There were 5 cracks in the handle and it was covered in rust and years of accumulated grime. It should live on for another 100 years now.
When I see some of the tools of my trade that I still hang on to, it brings back memories of a career choice I made as a young man.
Why did I choose carpentry? Because I thought tool belts were really cool looking... ;)
Every Fathers dream, tools and more tools,
They say he who dies with most tools Wins!

Please check the photo bellow, flickr sure made everything more difficult, after few comments the second photo disappears:-(
Once a trusted partner in countless builds, now rusted into retirement—this vintage hand saw clings to a sunbaked wall in Rancho Bernardo, California. Its blade dulled by years and its grip faded by hands long gone, it stands not as a tool, but as a relic. A story without words, etched in iron and grain.
Critique welcome.

The Quiet Discipline of Japanese Woodworking: A Traditional Joinery Workshop
Description
Inside a serene Japanese woodworking studio, the images reveal the slow, precise, and deeply tactile world of traditional cabinetmaking. Soft natural light filters through shoji screens, illuminating aged wooden workbenches, hand planes, chisels, saws, measuring tools, stacked timber, polished drawers, iron hardware, and carefully assembled joinery. The atmosphere is calm and contemplative, shaped by patience, repetition, and respect for material.
The series follows the full rhythm of artisanal creation: selecting and preparing raw boards, drawing measured plans by hand, sharpening blades on a wet stone, cutting and carving joints, planing long ribbons of wood from a board, assembling drawers and cabinets, fitting metal handles, brushing lacquer, polishing surfaces, and finally presenting finished tansu-style furniture in a quiet tatami room. Every scene emphasizes craftsmanship over speed, touch over machinery, and inherited knowledge over industrial production.
The visual language combines documentary realism with a refined cinematic sensibility. Warm wood tones, indigo work garments, soft diffused daylight, shallow depth of field, sawdust, wood grain, worn tools, and traditional Japanese interiors create an intimate portrait of a craft that feels timeless. The images celebrate not only furniture making, but also the philosophy behind it: restraint, precision, durability, balance, and beauty found in useful objects.
This collection is ideal for themes related to Japanese culture, traditional carpentry, handmade furniture, heritage crafts, sustainable design, woodworking, wabi sabi aesthetics, slow craftsmanship, interior design, and the quiet dignity of manual labor.

A warmly lit study of a vintage hand-crank drill, its steel worn silky from decades of use. The deep patina on the wood handle and the aged texture on the gear flywheel give the scene a sense of craftsmanship and history. This photograph celebrates the quiet beauty of old tools, objects that worked slowly, deliberately, and with the strength of human hands alone.
