8 year old camera 8mp - Bought in 2008 as a spare when I rode to Milwaukee for the Harley 105th Anniversary in case my previous one went out. Previous one (5mp) still works.
Attachment 225838
New 20mp with WiFi but I have to use a cable because Canon hasn't made the software compatible to the new Apple OS yet.
I love it!
Some pieces of white or black poster board works really well. Super cheap and bend/fold into different shapes to make backgrounds and reflect the light really softly.Quote:

That resave of the outback anvil in black and white looked pretty cool Tom.
:tu
😬
I've tried making a light box out of a diaper box, used it for a bit and my 2 girls got a hold of it for a play house for their dolls. I need to make another cause I bought 3 lights to use with it. Have some black and some whit poster board I picked up at the local art store too. This one you did look pretty darn good Mike.
The anvil will outlast that fight.Quote:

Here you go guys! I have stolen/borrowed so many ideas/tips from you guys maybe I can give a little back here. Used to do a lot of photography for the wife who was selling jewelry and small items on the Bay. Had it find it and dig it out!
Go to a fabric store ( Joann's fabrics in States ) and they have white ripstop nylon that is flexible and easy to wrap around the top, sides and/or back of a homemade box.
Made the frame out of 1/2" PVC and lots of T's, 90 degree elbows and end caps. Cut PVC tubing to the size you need and put it together but DO NOT GLUE!!! Just slip everything together and that way you can break it down when not in use and you can also change the dimensions with different lengths of tube.
Hope it helps someone. I got a lot of use out of it at one time!!

The ripstop is just tossed on top for a quick pic but when setting it up I used Velcro tape on tubes and material to stretch it tight.
P.S. Coffee cup used for size comparison! ;)
Great set up Newell. Lightweight and portable.
:tu
Yeah, that was part of the idea! That's why you don't glue it, it folds up for storage or transport. The ripstop is nice too because it really diffuses the light to give you a nice, soft light. I used to use 2 lights, one on the left, low and shining thru the side and another to the right a little higher so it shines thru the top and the side. Gives a nice, all encompassing light.Quote:

Got everything polished up, even the bolsters. Got it honed up too. King 1k, Norton 4/8, Sigma Power Select ii 13k, Zulu grey. I have to admit, this was one of the easier blades I've honed recently. Love when that happens!Quote:

I take, the tape worked well for you?
Did yoy use a dremmel or by hand?
Any sanding?
Again, very lucky with this one. I didn't do any sanding, just polishing and the pivot seems to be free from rust as well. Put a piece of scotch tape over the gold etch and traced it out. removed it and cut it out with my Olfa knife. Reapplied the tape over the etch and went to town with some Flitz. I seemed to have misplaced my Mothers mag polish, I find it's a bit more aggressive than Flitz but on this one, Flitz did the job just nicely. I got lucky again with a bit of pitting in the middle near the edge. At one point I thought the pitting was going to screw the whole project over but it was shallow and I was able to hone past it.
Oh and all by hand. I don't own a dremmel but have thought maybe I should pick one up. could come in handy with some projects.
STOP IT!!! Mis-Placing crap is MY TRICK!!! :banghead:Quote:

Thanks Roy. I'm terrible for misplacing things, but it's only because I'm very unorganized. For the longest time I couldn't find my wifes, grandfathers 4 oz ball peen hammer I use to repin razors. I love that hammer, and had to buy a new one to replace it. I needed one desperately. Of course, I did 1 re pin on a razor and found my good one in my girls toy chest. Probably the first place I should have looked.
So I have cleaned one razor and honed 4 to-day. Ready for some stropping and shaving.
The one I cleaned is pretty cool. It will be for SOTD tomorrow, before football!
At least you have 'Munchkins' All I have to blame are 'Gremlins'.Quote:

Today I looked in the exact same drawer in my tool box and it was right there!
Damn Gremlins!!!:rant:
I'll be keeping an eye for it Tom! I'll be posting this WH Morley in mine tomorrow as well.Quote:

Beautiful razor! :bow Lord knows I could never outwork you, outback. :roflmao
I suspect I may outclass your ass tomorrow!
I can only try! ;)
Youll always be my master of blades Tom. I'll always look to you for encouragement to do better with each one I do.Quote:

No, Tc, that's one I didn't make when I was there.Quote:

When I took it out I went for one ride and thought it was time to just let it go. I miss the crazy stuff of days gone by every now and then, but with my job I still get a little rush every now and then.Quote:
