Ken Talks Tools 3/2 - Transport Tools: Part 2 Maritime (2008)

The best way of mining Ken Hawley's vast knowledge of tools and their making was to sit him down in front of an array of material from the Collection. This is one of a small series of films in which he shares his passion for tools and tool making.
Sheffield may not be near the sea, but right across its industries maritime needs were serviced whether it be armour plate for naval vessels or tools for use in a variety of settings on board. This film explores the hand tools used in work at sea or at dockside for keeping vessels seaworthy. Ken's unique style and knowledge blend to enable a fascinating and knowledgeable short film.
The film was produced originally by Jeff Warner.
The film was produced from material recoded in 2008 as part of the 'Working with the Collector' Project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
