🏢 Legacy of steel, lying in rust. The building served as the main offices for a large iron and steel company in France during the 1890s. The offices shut down in the 1980s and have been vacant for decades.

The architecture centres around a large internal courtyard, enclosed by a glass skylight. Inside are former offices and record rooms, with scattered paperwork and an old typewriter still in place.

A decaying hallway stretches into the distance, illuminated by glass block skylights. The walls show peeling paint, and the floor is covered in debris.

An abandoned building has a partially collapsed glass roof. Debris covers the floor and walls are damaged.

A derelict room features a vintage typewriter and scattered papers, evoking a sense of forgotten history. The peeling walls and broken windows add to the ambiance of abandonment.

An ornate staircase in an abandoned building is visible through an archway.

Hacking together a quick & dirty log hauling thing from this axle with one wheel and one wheel with cut off axle I found in the junk piles a while ago.

Wanted to do nicer but I need it now :)

Two steel wheels. One has a ~1m long axle attached to it with no wheel on the other end. The axle is clamped into a big drill press vise sitting on an upside down beer crate. Another wheel with a short cut-off axle is on the opposite side, just kinda leaning there.

The stubby axle is being extracted. Here the final stage of escalation, driving it out with Mjölnir, the wheel crookedly sitting on two steel sawhorses, also from the yard junk. Mjölnir is a big hammer that is staged on the axle stub here.

The two wheels now mounted on the same axle with the help of two steel pipe sleeves made from a fencepost and some other junk. A very rusty piece of C-beam is on top of it. It looks like it just got dug out of the earth, which is indeed the case.

Got smol mild #steel service trolley, so I don't have to keep going back and forth for multiple #toolboxes and other stuff when working on #cars or other general #maintenance - lined each tray and added reflective tape on corners and LED lights for safety when I am out in the yard in the dark - there are many random vehicles arriving for the repair garage next door at all hours, and their drivers are often stressed and distracted (one even forgot his doggo when collecting a car and had to come back for it!) #DIY #maker

Cutting the liner to size (there is a convenient piece of paper in one of the trays)

Cutting magnetic strip to size for a "SEND IT" velcro patch (the magnetic strip fits to the other side of the velcro)

Japan’s JFE Steel will invest 157.5 billion rupees in an equal joint venture with India’s JSW Steel as demand for steel in the South Asian country is surging. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/12/04/companies/jfe-steel-india/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #jfe #steel #india #jsw

Next time someone makes excuses for coal mining because you need steel for wind turbines, tell them yes, sometimes you do, but you don't necessarily need coking coal for steel;

Japan’s major trading houses are facing a prolonged slump in iron ore and coking coal prices as Chinese steel exports flood into Asia and beyond, constraining profits for at least the next six months. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/11/06/companies/china-steel-exports-trading-houses/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #china #steel #mitsubishi #sumitomo #marubeni #itochu

Deception Pass Bridge, WA in B&W

There are actually two bridges constructed between 1934-1935. Whidbey Island to the very small Pass Island, and from Pass Island to Fidalgo Island. this photo was taken underneath the south span from Whidbey Island.
