Gaetan Bordeleau Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share #574 Posted April 27, 2019 One last element to add at this level a double wall filled with sand. Before it is too heavy to turn upside down, 1 coat of tung oil is applied below first deck outside, it gives a complete different look to the cherry wood. I did a photo of a word program text. Before I was able to copy text from outside MSW, but now when I copy text, it is included as a photo in small definition!!! My search for knives continue. I ordered new blades to try, assembly require. Captain Poison, J11, archjofo and 27 others 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vossiewulf Posted April 28, 2019 Share #575 Posted April 28, 2019 One thing to consider with handles Gaetan is how well it locates the point of the blade and its rotation for you. A curved and fully rounded handle can be quite comfortable, but it's hard to know exactly where the point is just by the grip. That's why I always make the back edge of the handle straight, and perfectly in line with the point of the blade, and also with slight flats on the side, these help you intuitively feel where the edge is pointed. With a fully rounded handle, you can be holding the knife slightly twisted in your hand without noticing. But in the end, handles are very personal things, make what feels right for you. mtaylor, AON, 42rocker and 2 others 5 Quote Building HM Cutter Lady Nelson 1:64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaetan Bordeleau Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share #576 Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) It is a good thing to know where is the blade without necessarily seeing it. I like to watch on Historia channel a program called Fire and steel, a competition to make and test a knife: blade and handle. Every time they test durability by hitting the knife on hard objects when the handle is round, the handle slips in the hand and reduce the performance of the blade: the judge does not like that. I think that the size of the handle is also important. Just like it is easier to build at 1/48 scale than 1/184, because the part is easier to hold. I think that the same rule can apply here. I knew that I have more control with a bigger handle and I think that this one reason.

Gaetan Bordeleau Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share #579 Posted May 18, 2019 Thank you Mark, it was educational for me as well. I watched a lot of video up to Seki knife festival in Japan. I also watched many video on sharpening and everyone had his way, but it was always about the same thing: making a Burr and Polishing. billocrates, mtaylor and cog 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaetan Bordeleau Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share #580 Posted June 19, 2019 I just finish replacing a part of the deck...at home , not on the 74. To synchronize 3 Profoto and 3 Canon flashs together, I got a module called Youngnuo YN622C. Here is a picture to verify that everthing works together and trying to light every part of the model at the same level. Even if it is artificial light, color are very close to what we see. We can clearly see 2 tone of cherry wood; natural and 1 coat of tung oil. JohnLea, billocrates, G.L. and 19 others 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaetan Bordeleau Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share #595 Posted September 3, 2019 Thank you Sea Hoss, How can we get cannonballs out of have 3 very deep cabinets? First, we need to enter the cabinet by some kind of entrance. Secondly, we need to go down to the bottom of this deep hole with the help of some kind of ladder. Son 3 openings have been done and ladder rungs have been added in each of the 3 holes.

Gaetan Bordeleau Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share #596 Posted September 7, 2019 For this step, an alignment rod is use to make sure all the pillars are all on the same line of alignment. This is the easier way. Trying to align by eye is very difficult mainly because the eye does not have direct access.

empathry Posted September 9, 2019 Share #597 Posted September 9, 2019 Gaëtan ; all your photos are really splendid and I wish to ask you (but you may have already answered those kind of questions) : What type of camera ? What focal lenght ? What speed ? What diaphragm ? Cheers (from France) Empathry ! mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaetan Bordeleau Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share #598 Posted September 9, 2019 HI Empathry, Mainly, I use 2 cameras; 1 for inside details and 1 for outside. https://www.yitechnology.com/yi-4k-action-camera a very small camera, 4k inside the model, automatic camera with few adjustments. For outside, Canon 5D mark IV with various lens and sometime with different flash. 4 hours ago, empathry said: What focal lenght ? What speed It depends, there are other considerations like ISO. There is not only 1 possibility, but hundreds. Most importantly, if I want a daylight exposition, to get the good colors, I need to add more light, especially for dark spaces. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/LED-Light-Sources/ci/12248 because these little camera do not have a flash. LED light, with continuous lighting is the kind of lighting used for video. billocrates and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
