RAW
Photograph a tool while you are using it, tool, hands and work visible together, faces out of frame; posed shots of tools on a bench, identifiable faces and anything unsafe are sent back. Up to 50 per contributor, from a global base strongest in Southeast Asia, the United States and Europe, so hand tools in a repair stall sit next to power tools in a suburban garage. No tool, action or affordance labels, though tool and task are legible in every image. Object datasets show a hammer on a white background; a robot needs the hammer at the moment of striking, with the hand's grip, the nail and the board in the same frame.
