It’s been a bit of a slow week getting through all of the bench drawers, each filled to the brim with beautiful tools. Old ebony and ivory handles on files, hand removers, gravers, hair spring tools… Each piece seems crafted with care, so unique, the mark of the maker so evident.

Here are some more things from today’s work.
