A picture showing full details of the axeheads from The Richardson and Dorr and a page from the Independant newspaper showing the working area in a workshop making Jerrs (Gerrs) on this occasion in the UAE part of Musandam. The feet and toes are often employed as another hand to steady the work piece whilst it is being turned or cut... in this case a pattern is being cut in the shaft with a hacksaw.. In such rudimentary workshops you will seldom see a workbench.
