Tools!

#Tools #Maker #Metal #Blacksmith #BlackAndWhite #Abandoned #Shop #MonoChrome #Photography #Darktable

A black and white landscape photo of tools hanging from a rail attached to a wall and lying on a bench. The view is looking at a large concrete brick wall that is painted in a dark color on the bottom and a light color on top. The view is at an angle with the near part of the wall on the left. An iron railing is attached to the wall just above the lower dark section. Hanging from the railing are dozens of various long handled tools used in a forge room (blacksmith). Lying on the bench are 20-25 very large open end wrenches. Most are curved and have been neatly arranged, although, none have been used in many years. The next bench over has a number of other tools, blocks, single jack sludge hammers, and one large iron gear probably three feet in diameter. Another round toothless gear like item is next to the gear and another hangs from the wall. Foot prints are seen on the dirt floor. Everything is very old and dusty.

love old workshops like this. I can look for hours, imagine how it must have been working there.

@ambivalena Absolutely! I stopped at the Nevada Northern Railway in Ely, Nevada, on my way home to Reno from Aztec yesterday. I love that place so much! It's a fully operational railway frozen in time from the 1940s. What I love is they let you wander around the entire railyard and machine shop! And the machine shop is fully operational maintaining the trains and they do everything to old way. Real mechanics / machinists. No computerized anything.
