MIKET! I see you down there!
Howz the move going? :shrug:
Oh No! Thanks for doing that! In actuality, the pics I posted have reflections from an overhead lamp which showed details.
Were it not for that, it would appear mostly black and would have not shared details of the molding.
You have helped me to decide where to go with it. It should be seen no matter the lighting!
I like things to look their best in person, JMO.
Very nice of you!
I think that was very cool of jmercer to help out with his Photoshop. :chapeau
Thanks...
'Molding' that's the word I was looking for. Har!
I do it with my wood handled brush make overs too. I don't see as well as I use too and use photos is PS to magnify and tweek.
I've used photo's just for looking at almost worn away makers marks & such. A camera on a tripod & set for a time delay so it won't be shaking & take a few pics.
They come out a lot better than trying to see it at times. :shrug:
When I have to do this which is rarely, I will put it on my tripod & lean 2 of the legs against the table or countertop to get it to take a pic straight down at the tang or wherever the marks are.
I've decided to re-pin the Joseph Rodgers with the original scales as opposed to making new scales.
Will be using some brass domed washers and hopefully will get the job done tonight.
Pictures will be forthcoming in due course.
Finally made the trip and it was the hardest move ever! The family is settlIng into house. I'm worn out, driving to the city tomorrow to fly to Texas and then ship out. No rest for the weary. Lol
Good thing is that I'll have internet on the ship and be able to view all the awesome posts you guys do, I'll be able to restore/customize vicariously through you guys until I get back in 7 weeks. Then I gotta go get the uhaul, load it up, drive it 2k miles, set up my workshop, and get back to the growing list of SR projects waiting for me. Easy. Lol
So... keep em coming! My sanity depends on it. :)
Well, hang in there, MikeT! :tu
You'll be okay MikeT. You've been down a rough road & made it back. We've all been down a rough road at some point but most of us make it back while others just give up. I know you will be back so don't fall off a rig & become a shark treat! We're counting on you...................
