I did start shooting old tools with the G9 but still tend to lack "composition".

I like these Ted. I like the idea of using standard product photography methods on items that show real wear and patina.

Thank you, Jeff.

I think the torch might look well with a low key product shot. Particularly if it still works safely and were lit.

I've never used it. Bought it out of nostalgia because I owned and used one for household plumbing back in England. It ran on paraffin and was pre-heated with methylated spirits. Back then one could prickers to clean the nozzle with ...

I know a couple of dodgy plumbers who could use a lesson in working that blow torch. My folks got rid of the last of their lead pipe work in their house around ten years ago. The last of it was in the down stairs dunny. A lot of English plumbing is still much to be desired. I know because every house I’ve owned is no younger than 180 years old and all had dreadful plumbing. Thomas Crapper would be spinning in his grave.

I like the pics, Ted. In the old days when we could venture out, I used to visit antique fairs and junk shops to buy old woodworking hand tools. Old chisels and planes are top notch steel and I use them today. Good idea to photo them. I’m in the middle of building an 18’ x 10’ wooden, twin span glass house that is against an 8’ garden wall. those tools have been invaluable. About to start the glazing. A Covid lock down project that is stop start in between work interruptions!
