Returning to the workshop for some photos. I thought the drill bit collection might be a bit interesting. Lit with a speedlite bounced on the wooden ceiling.

One of the photos in my flickr photostream that seems to get traffic every day is a picture of the bad-ass mouse-trap racer that I built for my wife’s after-school engineering class.  It got picked up by the Make (Magazine) Blog and turns up in search results all the time. Every time I glance at my [...]

Cutting her teeth, originally uploaded by JMaz Photo. I couldn’t help but put my little girl to work for me in the shop today. She loves to help, so why not make the most of it? I wanted to do an “action” shot from the shop for this day’s photo. As cute as the little [...]

Cuttin’ a Groove, originally uploaded by JMaz Photo. Doing a little word-working in the shop today. Set the camera up on the tripod and used the self-timer to get this shot of me cutting a dado into a board. This is live-action footage here people, with flying sawdust and everything. Real basic setup today, speedlite [...]

(Hence the library shot a few days back.) This cargo ship, which is two whole feet long, was made [...]

The deep redwood finish on this block plane’s handle is really handsome. I took it off the shelf and did some shots of [...]

Impending Doom – 010/365, originally uploaded by JMaz Photo. The kids helped me clean up the workshop today and install some new lighting. (It is so much better in the man cave now!) So for today’s shoot we combined one of the kids’ toys with one of mine. (Bwaa ha ha ha!) I was hoping [...]
