Great photo and good finish!! Have to say this shot struck a particular chord with me as my late grandfather used to be a carpenter (as in someone who worked with wood rather than a member of the pop duo) and I remember seeing him working with tools like this (which used to glide effortlessly under his control then transform themselves to lumpen objects if ever I picked them up). Your story about them being your late father's tools adds an extra layer of poigniancy

Great job

I thing I would like this better if he were not looking at the camera for all three shots. I would have liked to see him more at play, more natural.

Can you say "the alphabet backwards". There I wrote it down, just read the previous quote out loud. You've done it! Shooting an alphabet looks ike fun, too. Great results.
