p.1 #1 · Tools at Heartwood


I have the honor of serving on the Heartwood School's Board of Directors and was able to visit the new shop and school location for the first time since my teaching days. I managed to get into the shop early one morning to make some images. All tool images taken with my Sony a7IV and the 135GM, the overall shop image in the next post taken with the Viltrox 16mm 1.8.

Thanks Bill. The school is located in New Hampshire. I traveled over for the meeting and then set appointments with some of my clients.

Great work with the wide angle! I am getting the Viltrox 14 f/4 Air.

Nice take on singling out tool character and working with a great shallow DOF. Love your presentation in processing, sweet

Flood of memories, Mike. I had an old barn wood shop, collected antique tools and learned how to use them. Pretty good with a hewing axe. Now you need to put these guys together with a good masonry heater company...

Haven't seen an architects, mechanical drafter's "tri" ruler since my Mechanical Drawing dayze(1964)!
I used 1 in my military daze also(1967-69).
Anyone, or all, of these could grace my "shop" walls!
On my 30"..WOW!

Thank you. I learned with all hand tools at the school’s original location - and then ended up teaching summer classes in 3d design software for nearly 10 years.

They do teach courses on masonry heating and they built a wood fired pizza oven last year (under a nice timber frame pavilion). It’s a special place to me - it changed my life when I dropped out of graduate school.
