One of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had! Crimini mushrooms, white onion, Serrano ham, mixed greens, and one egg. Made in the time it would have taken to walk to the deli and back..and I got to experience the sublime pleasure of the aroma while cooking! #shopfood #shopbreakfast #quickandtasty #food

Scored this beauty! An Elmer shaper model, 3” stroke, possibly German, but any info you have, please comment! It’s in excellent condition. Will hook it up and post a clip. #shaper #metalshaper #machining #machinetool #elmer #elmershaper #traditionaltools #metal

I’ve just been entrusted with passing these classic European gem and intaglio carvers bench arbors or spindles and carving points. If you know anyone who will use and appreciate these please msg! #gemcarving #intaglio #intagliocarving #gemart #stonecarving #idaroberstein #romangems #sealstones #antiquelapidarytools #lapidary #lapidarytools

Just picked this portable up for 25$! Nice, with owner’s manual and eraser/cleaning brush #manual #manualtypewriter #portable #portabletypewriter #hermes3000

Well that’s an unexpected food combo, Tomatoes and blueberries! Put them on for color but it actually works. Just a bit unexpected/curious.. rolled oats, crushed pistachios and walnuts, old Chatham sheep’s milk yogurt the berries and yellow tomato slices with a drizzle of maple syrup and fresh grated cinnamon #shopfood #shoplife #machinistslife #artistcooks #blueberries #quatrofoil

Threading with a die on the lathe, an aluminum tension rod for a German guitar. This is a job single point wouldn’t work for! Came out great, I will post a link to pics of the guitar when the client assembles it #machining #machiningaluminum #lathe #threading #diethreading #turning #4jawscrollchuck #guitarparts #customguitar #musicalinstrument #parts #customparts

Caught one! And a big one too.. an elevator speed governor from a 12t freight. This is a life achievement for me, lol! (340 lbs, not a lightweight…) #industrial #historic #heavyduty #machine #governor

A little layout work “someone I might know” did this past weekend, gag was a hit.. #lighting #projectorspotlight #film #filmeffects #gaffer #grip

A late shop meal, fried rice, with a little of whatever! (Except egg today) Delicious…. #shopfood #cooking #friedrice #

A little late dinner at the shop, whole wheat spaghetti with mushrooms onions garlic baby kale and 3 cheeses in tomato sauce, nice! #shopfood #criminimushrooms #goatcheese #gouda
