I believe this man is lipping panels with what (used to be known as) iron-on edging.
When I worked as a joiner in London in the early 80's, this is how it was done,. There was always a certain amount of trimming to be done by hand, the edging being slightly wider than the edge itself! It looks as though this is what he's getting ready to do.

Nowadays done with an edgebander machine(!)

Thank you guys! Yes, Roger, that's exactly what he is doing. Now they come in various sizes and colour, so there's no need trimming any more, but he still clings to the old iron.

Nice workshop shot, Nezih. Maybe you could have tolerated a single color. .. the redness of tea for example. I see an empty tea cup on the countertop .

Thank you, Nuri! As you say, there was no tea left, anyway.

Nice shot Nezih. I like the shadow of the window frames on the wall.

Superb BW. I should be crazy...and I'm!!!But BW is better than colour. Colour is too much scientific...I prefer BW for its emotional content. Giulio 57

First rate shot, Nezih. Everything works here, not least the play of light and shadow. Well done!
Best wishes,

Andrew

Lovely image.

I think it could be improved slightly by removing the large lettering on the middle left of the image.

Thank you, Tim! I agree with you about the lettering.
