Bob's Hitachi Circular Saw

.


Location:  Ocean View, Delaware

Additional Information: Bob has had this saw for almost as long as I have known him and I believe it belonged to someone else before that. I remember, when I first saw it, thinking it was somewhat exotic compared to the Black and Decker I was using. I have learned a lot from Bob about taking care of tools.

Wing Nut

.


AKA: ~

Additional Information: Two wings attached to a nut allow for relatively easy adjustment on a thread. The thumb, index and middle finger engage the wings and force is applied in the direction of desired tightness. Design is a factor with regards to comfort. The example has large elevated wings that thoughtfully accommodate fingers.

Pedimented Dormer

.


AKA: ~

Location:  Lewes, Delaware

Additional Information:  Pedimented dormers can contain many or all the elements of a classical pediment. That is, a gable with raked cornices on either side which is joined by a horizontal cornice. The horizontal here is broken in the middle with a bare tympanum above. Decorative moldings on either side of the pointed arch, double hung window emulate columns.

Sheen

.


AKA: ~

Location:  Bethany Beach, Delaware

Additional Information: Sheen is the quality which, I believe, most characterizes vinyl. Uniformity rivals sheen for this honor and together they give vinyl (PVC) building products their very own presence and personality.
