Toying with marco work on a Ducati motorcycle. The line knurled schrader valve cap is also a tool. It's two prongs go into the valve to unscrew the stem for cleaning or replacing. Tools are everywhere.

Nuts!
(I've always wanted to say that)



Not exactly a garage - this was taken in the locomotive shed at the Loughborough steam railway.

Plugs !

With a bit of green to help with Stella's red.

@MrB: I would love to see a version of your photo with just the left row a bit more zoomed in. Might be a bit too abstract for some, but I'd love id

Number four seems to be running a gnats-whisker richer that the others.

Yes I know I'm sad sometimes.

What surprises me, Phil, is that the porcelain centre electrode is not uniform in color for the individual plugs. After 50 years of plug inspections, I'm at a lost to explain the inter-plug nonuniformity. But one of the things I like about the photographic angle is the great color display that reveals so much, first to the eye, then to the mind.

Great. The image easily tells me how these shovel handles were so artfully made.

Split the shaft, bend the halves, insert a "keystone of wood", then brace it with the handle.

A beautiful tool, revealed photographically. Thanks.
