No one loved tools more than my husband Bob, but I must admit that I have a love of them as well. Included in these photos is my most treasured object from my father–his hand-forged hammer with leather-ringed handle. It was the only one of his possessions I asked for when he died and I still use it. So, her it is along with other tools used by either Bob, my husband, or me. And after the tools, the man himself, applying paper to fishing basket to use as a lampshade for one of his homemade lamps. (I must admit that I don’t remember where I took the first photo. It was not in any of our studios, but I love it and the ingenuity of the tool storage.

I like your tool selections, especially the artist paint brushes, and the jewelry tool implements. I have a few of those, too. Then I also like the rusty wrench. 🙂

Those are my favorites too..but I’d substitute my father’s old hammer for the wrench.

I love this collection of treasured and well used tools. The photos show so many of them ready for work. Just what a tool wants – to be used.

And the one is being repaired…The cake spatula’s wooden handle had split in two and was glued and clamped. Clothespins are the handiest tool of all..available at all times! I use them to close up bags, for paper clips, on hangers to keep clothes from slipping off. For everything, in fact, except to hand clothes on a line!! I forgot to photograph my grandfather’s hand-forged axe head that I keep as a doorstop inside the front gate. I have always loved tools and thankfully married a man who even loved them more. For every art process I wanted to pursue, he made me a tool. Some incredibly complicated.. like the huge diamond core drill he made me from a missile launcher from Lawrence Livermore and the pulp mill from my old refrigerator and the kozo beater from my washing machine. Nothing went wasted at our house.

Those all sound interesting. I assumed the spatula was being repaired (but I guessed it was a cement trowel). I turned a new handle for a garden trowel my wife likes. She likes it because it was my dad’s. I love being able to fix things.
