A 1960s Bridges electric drill

A 1960s Bridges electric drill by bowbrick.
This thing was a fixture in our house when I was a kid and when I left home my Dad gave it to me. Of course, I've neglected in lately and now it's rusty and broken. I took it to the dump on Friday...

The charity shops are another alternative for "smart" recycling, but they do not take electical goods.

I photographed the drill on a plain-ish background in bright sunlight, then cut it out using the 'extract' filter in photoshop.

I can't believe you took it to the dump. It's aluminium, you take it apart, clean the brushes, brush the rust out, reassemble it and it works fine. Then you give it to your son.
Oh, and it's beautiful.
