Martin's Grandfather William King, was an apprentice bookbinder about a century ago and we have a few of his tools still here at home. I imagine a few were lost on the trip to New Zealand, some were too big to bring and some wore out or were replaced as technology changed. I have drawn some of the books he made, they can be seen on my other blog Eaird EDM # 27 October 20th 2008. These here are some of the tools.

It's just after 6 am. and the container terminal is lit up like late night Friday. Noises carry over the water and I wonder if the homes in this area have more sound insulation than normal, or is it all part of inner city ambience.
