Steady as a Rock
by Leo Charette

A bit under the wire. This fellow is building a harpsicord. He has been working on it for about two years as everything is done entirely with hand tools. Today, during my lunch I watched him drill holes. Like a human drillpress, only his hand moved... precise.

Beautiful 'action' shot, with an old-world feel. --Melanie

Great capture -- that's really amazing, the amount of concentration and precision that is displayed here. Perfect for the challenge, too.

That is amazing, El-See, how only his one hand/arm is in motion turning the drill...well captured. Nice color, clarity, perspective, and lighting too. Where exactly did you witness this interesting hand-crafting? MFC
