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(!)

The more I look, the more there is to see!

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.

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.

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

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