Technology

I spend most of my spare time playing with keris.

I'm either restoring some item of dress, or repairing or staining blades. This has been my hobby all my life; when I'm not doing income producing work, or pulling a trigger, I'm playing with keris and other edged weaponry.

Obviously I must have developed some pretty high tech working methods and equipment by now, since I've been at this game for so long, so, prompted by some of the photos posted by other people of their beautifully presented equipment and working situations, I thought I'd share photos of my own extremely high tech equipment and workshop.

Here are photos of my blade staining equipment in its immaculate storage facility, my state-of-the-art blade staining equipment, and my immaculate and technologically advanced workshop. The cloudless blue sky is perhaps the most important single contributor to excellence in a blade stain.

Wow, that looks a whole lot like my mess. :D

[A. G. Maisey]

Hey David, that ain't no mess!

That's after I just tidied it up!

[David]

Oh....did i say mess...i meant absolute and complete order in a perfect workshop environment....really i did!

[A. G. Maisey]

Thank you David. That's probably a more accurate comment.

Oh Alan,
What a balm on my heart to see that I am not the only one finding my way in my disorder !
What is important for me, is the result and not my miserable mess !
Thank you for sharing !

I don't have a workspace at home! I do it on the floor in one of the rooms in my apartment, with lots of newspaper laid out on the floor... And when I need to clean kerises with a bit of fruit acid, there's the bathroom... :(

[lemmythesmith]

Hi Alan, your workspace is tidy, no matter how hard I try, mine always looks like a tornado has hit it......

[A. G. Maisey]

Thank you Lemmy.

That is what I was trying to tell David.

[David]

Well here is a part of my workshop/studio. This part is where I do most of my metal work (missing the polishing machine and oven).
