    Gaetan Bordeleau got a reaction from Obormotov in Maximum size of a photo for this forum   
    Before, if I remember correctly, it was 2000, which is a good size for a monitor, now at 1500, it is less flexible. 
    Very few people used 2000, so adding the fact that there are a lot of photos on this site, there was probably no reason to keep it at 2000.

    Gaetan Bordeleau got a reaction from phebe in Tung oil and the choice for a finished ship   
    This subject comes back again and  again. You can search.
    In 1 line:
    I apply 1 coat of tung oil and the  wipe the surplus. I tried many other but the best results are with  tung oil.
     
    Example on the photo, the right part  has not yet  oil.

    Jewelry is a good source of inspiration for tools, Here is an example of the classical workbench 100 years apart.
    Electric height adjustable desk is probably the best tool we can use for many reasons.
    I have seen many declinations of armrest, the first one I remember  was a felt donut recovered with leather for the elbow.
     
    In a way, all these resting tools offers the same thing: allowing to rest a part of the arm to have a better control of the hand.

    I would say that the main difference working small vs larger is the concentration level is very much more demanding, especially in carving to control your hands moves which are much more smaller.
    The magnifier style you use is a personal choice. I like to work  with Optivisor and for smaller scale I like to use a surgical loupe and occasionally for quality control a microscope.
