The Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) School of Photography started a project in 1987 called Big Shot which created photographs on a grand scale painted with flashlights, flash bulbs and strobs. See the link for their examples.

Yes I tried color in the home darkroom and after much frustration and failed attempts concluded it was way cheaper to send my 35 mm color negatives or slides/transparencies directly to Kodak and have them make an 8x10 color, or larger, print for me than doing it myself. So the home darkroom was strictly B&W.

Back in the days of film, ISO/ASA 50 film had a much finer grain than ISO 200. Most Pros and serious Amateurs used Kodachrome 25 because of grain issues.

They don't. The plier cradle is 12 " long x 3.75 " wide x 0.25 " thick stock, bar is 0.25" thick by 1.25 " wide The piece for the exacto knives and tweezers is 1.5 " wide x 18 " long by 2" high. Holes were drilled with a 3/8 " Forstner bit.

decorative wooden box by Edwardkenway

Nice job on the box ! -
My daughter had a gas fired heater just like that hanging in her garage when she bought the house. Some previous owner had installed it. I remember seeing old auto garages like the one in photo when I was a kid. Great work on your diorama.

Tell Me Why This Is A Bad Idea ( If it is )

I have a very good friend who many years ago completely lost the index and middle finger on his right hand to a table saw accident. Ever try to pick something up with your thumb and ring finger and pinky? Or hold a pen or pencil with a missing index and middle finger? Think about the advice everyone is giving you ! -
Us too here in the Catskills, Adirondacks, and higher elevations of Western Massachusetts .

Finally got the 2nd planking of the walnut veneer done. Now have to install it on the bulwarks, inside and outside, frame in the upper gun ports and then re-sync myself with the instructions.

One side done, one more to go.

I can't spell . 🤗

One side is done. Now to finish the other side. Lots of pointy sticks to install. 😉🙃🙂

I had no trouble understanding Strain ! 😀

Eric, do these photos of the viking longboat Drakan help with your shield placement? It visited Kingston's Hudson River Maritime Museum a few years ago.

A small update with small progress. This veneer is somewhat brittle, does not edge bend well and does not take curved cuts, straight line cuts work better. It's also difficult to sand without breaking, so progress is slooow.

Since @Edwardkenway asked, I will show some of the stones I use to sharpen my woodcarving knives as well as the Xacto blades. Bottom of picture Left to Right: Spyderco dual grit ceramic stone, midsized ceramic stone, full sized ceramic stone in bench hook, small strop, longer strop with handle Top of photo: 1000 grit and 6000 grit Japanese water stones, pocket size Water stones pocket size Spyderco pocket stone closeup My woodcarving knives I should mention that the ceramic stones do not require lubricant and can be surface cleaned with mild soap and water (like Dawn brand dish detergent)

Actually, it is a ceramic "stone", can use with water or dry, works great. I also have a longer version, as well as 2 Japanese mini water stones and the traditional oil stones. I prefer the ceramic tho. In the Spyderco leather pouch is another even smaller dual grit ceramic stone. The grey leather thingies are thumb guards so you don't slice your thumb with the knife, even the mere pressure of the blade against bare skin can produce a serious cut. I know, been there done that 😂
