Tools and instruments were my focus.

| Boatbuilders' curves |
I looked hard at this simple telescope -
... in various ways ...
Later, looking for another instrument collection (most are at the astronomy museum up the hill) there was this beautiful telescope, a diplomatic gift to the Chinese Emperor - the timepiece is the lens cover -
Astrolabes, equinoctial dials, and a portable reflecting telescope -
10 minutes and a bit of water later -
Quite possibly the speed of rendition was a reaction to the care taken with the first telescope.
