My best wishes to all for the festive season!


My wife and I are travelling a little at present, and currently in a chilly Prague (hovering around -1 C with occasional very fine snow misting that evaporates before it hits the ground).


The Christmas markets are still in full steam. There was an interesting stall in Vienna with old hand tools and related fittings. Rather rusty looking ...

Of course, these are all chocolate. Amazingly realistic ...

A feast for old eyes in more ways than one :)


Best wishes from Prague

Man, I'd just have to buy a chocolate sledgehammer and a chocolate gear. Those are amazing.

Idk I like those chocolate gears. Remind me of the worm gear on the T75.

But the fun I could have with a chocolate pipe.

Think Willy Wonka combined with Alice In Wonderland and Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas.

Admittedly I don't get out much but that's some of the neatest stuff I've seen. Have a great time and thanks for the pics.

My horse would be licking its hooves all day.

If I had a horse.

At first I was shocked to see rusty old tools next to cookies....then you revealed the “rusty old tools” were actually chocolates!

My tool budget would have taken a significant hit had I been at that stall. I particularly like the wingtips - but no choc cigars??

You're killing us Derek... Just killing us... ;)

How unique! I wonder how that connection between old tools and chocolate was made...

Thanks for sharing your journey with us!

Good one Derek, very good. I wonder where the initial inspiration for the chocolate tools came from in the first place? has to be a story there somewhere. Thanks.

Like Brian said, Thanks for sharing the journey

Are you doing any testing of the best planes to get chocolate shavings, bevel up or bevel down? :)
