I think you can tell I am somewhat late to the party tonight, having got so immersed in a really old book on engineering.
Fascinating stuff.
How can you write 50 pages on grinding wheels?
What the heck is copal lacquer? (Used to make a gold lacquer for tinplate that will not crack when the tinplate is bent.) Use 2/3 to 1/3 with linseed oil. (My stars it is still being used, who would have known? Obvs not me.) https://www.google.com/search?q=cop...Y3NzdqMGoxNagCCLACAQ&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Venice turpentine, Sandarac and other stuff goes together to make an ink you use to write on glass.
Health and safety not being so prevalent then some of the ingredients were well dodgy.
Gum dammar.
Collodion.
Fink I'd better "put the book away".

Early photographers put their lives on the line using the wet collodion process in tents as they had to coat the plates and then expose them whilst still wet. The fumes were very toxic.

Morning All.
Rained heavily overnight, but dry now. That's how I like it.
A shopping day
Have a great day!

Exactly!
My dad left school and went straight to work for City Engraving in Hull. He used to have to balance huge glass plates on one hand while carefully pouring collodion over them with the other, turning each one in all directions until it was evenly covered. This was in the mid 30s.
"The introduction in 1851 of a so-called wet-collodion process for photography provided a means for producing a photographic negative as the basic element in the preparation of engravings. In this process, a glass plate is coated with an alcohol–ether solution of collodion (cellulose nitrate) containing potassium iodide."
No wonder he was a bit bonkers!!

This is why early photographers had the reputation of being off their headsYou learn something new every day on here
Similar to the phrase "mad as a Hatter" as they used to use some process containing I think Mercury when making them.

Hmm! now I have something to compare my own work with. I have yet to make a start on it.
I am beginning to really enjoy these but then I seem to be becoming a little maso, not like me!
I have a funny feeling that the diagonal of the big square might pass straight through the centre of the middle circle.
We shall see!

... that I am a bit "miffed". I had my headlining on the Rangie replaced last year.
Last night it rained really heavily. Today we went shopping and as always we stopped outside the MIL's are my wife takes the old gal her shopping while I wait. It is a steep hill and I was facing downhill. Suddenly I felt drips of cold water hitting the back of my neck. Somehow the Sunroof cassette has not drained and the water is now soaking the sunroof slide cover and dripping everywhere.
