This weekend's start image is brought to us by community expert @jane-e
Jane took this picture whilst visiting the Audubon State Historic Site in St. Francisville, Louisiana. It is a metalwork vice (or should I spell that vise for our friends in the US) and our challenge is to use it in the creation of a new image.

The “rules”:

* Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry.

* Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright etc

* Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum "regulars".

* There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!

* The starter image is made available for you to use in this forum challenge only. Sorry to emphasise this, but the image is not for use elsewhere.

To download the image below, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right.

Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser).

When posting back your image – please use the blue reply button in this first post. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

Have fun.

Dave

I like that, the view from the shed window and a nice outdoor workbench for those dry days

Dave, your comment about weight reminds of a video I watched a couple of days ago, and is the reason I made my vise red. Fireball Tool 'used' to be one of my favourite YouTube channels because of the super cool engineering projects he builds, but he has gone all commerical now, and is coming across desperate to sell his products. One of which is an big red US$1900 vise that weights 300lb!

Anyone interested in mechanical engineering might enjoy he videos on Go Kart Grinder and the water jet machine he uses to build his projects.

This is nearly all recreated, but I have allowed texture to show through from the original. I have used some metal textures from Eye Candy 7, but other than the end caps, the brass clamp and the metalwork on the left is 100% Photoshop.
