I was looking at the book "Pattie Boyd: My Life in Pictures" and saw a photo that may be of interest to members of this forum. It shows Pattie sitting behind a workbench during the remodel of the mansion called Friar Park that she and George Harrison bought in 1970. Go to this site and scroll down a little

I can't expand the photo on my computer but I can zoom it in nicely on my iPhone. Starting from the floor, you can see some nicely mitered crown molding, a simple wooden miter box and what looks like a tall miter box for crown molding to the right. A number of large chisels sit on the window sill. The bench has some enormous bar clamps underneath, a record vise, some hand planes, Pattie in trendy bell-bottoms, and to the right a hand-cranked grinder. I think it's cool that their workers were still using hand tools in 1970!
