yea...it is great to have this place to read away at...and thanx for the advice Sarah and Rod.

Sorry Roderick...I was referring to "Paint mask and Vinyl Mask"...and again...it's a sweet job.

A job I'd hate to do....yikkes!! But if it were me I'd tint the size, made up of venice japan and one shot 1/2 n' 1/2 with blue so you can see it outside...and charge accordingly as Dan has said. There always seems to be the temptaion to "feel bad for the customer" and not realise there wa...

Good to see there is so much interest. Ron jim and all. I had no idea Pat was up to this sort of thing although I did know he was doing the cutting.....and as mentioned will keep all informed.

Yeo Guys, Im still wondering what the difference is between the 2. Lovley piece to Mr. Rod and good to see you are still with us all Vance!

Mikey.....have visited the site and look forward to a run at it. Need to do an update of the "video viewer" or whatever that might be called first. All to say that your "developing/darkroom" work is quite terrific.

Well....I can see I'm not alone in this interest! I saw it (cut glass) for the first time quite a number of years ago and have been fascinated ever since. Once I get the equipment requirements and get them in the shop I'll try and keep you guys posted...till then lets sit tight and wait for that inf...

Yes....you do sound like a broken record and yes.... I WILL investigate this. I just bookmarked the page.

I also go with the artist oil colours and use these for the same reason...although the clear you use will be the most important part. The transparent screen inks Rick used to repackage were terrific and still have some left over. The deep gold was a favourite of mine.

Well, I've seen the work of our friend Dave Smith and watched him work through this process... and loved the work of the old masters and have decided to take the plunge...as in get the necessary equipment and invest the conciderable time required. So the question is...where in north america can (and...

Had to stick my nose in again here, as I appreciate (understand) all the things said and a few acolades are well deserved, and the photos are one thing.... but the photoshop processing here is actually very remarkable.....and I just can't imagine how you manage to get so much done! I do a bit of thi...

Mike sent me a photos a week or so back and I'll say the same thing in public...some of them are as good as anything by some of the top notch pros especially in wildlife and nature. Get him to show you the trout and Osprey shot!

Hi Ruby....latex through an HVLP or similar spray gun is the fast and sometimes easy way to get a nice slick finish. I'd lean towards a good latex brush though...might take a few minutes more but heck, you won't need to clean the gun!

Glad to hear the little feller will make it and explains the close up.....without the story I had imagined a nice 4000mm lens...and Ray has it right....you're beginning to look like Indiana Jones....just shorter.

Would loved to have gone down there for a few days...or daze, whichever you preffer, and just too bad to hear about it so late. We gotta talk the guys, and girl, into letting us know sooner! David is a top notch craftsman.

Beautiful stuff....as usual, but ya gotta tell me, what on earth lens did you use to get that eagle shot!?!!

......and I second that. It takes alot of time and commitment to see this project of ours through and has been well done....heck where else can you go and ask a difficult question and know youll get a good sound answer in a day or two. Also...I just noticed you cant use an apostrophy or the back scr...

just a quick add to the masonite thing.....paintings done on masonite (untempered) by Andrew Wyeth (one of my heros) are already in need of restoration as the chemicals inside are migrating through the surface and destroying the paint layers. This is a HUGE problem as the whole process breaks from t...

Anyone having luck with a crackling varnish for outdoors....and that'll stand up to time. Also how have you used it and what is it made up of.
Thanx in advance

Fascinating!! ....how a term and an old mans tale unite. Have to add that milk paints are actually very very old, Casein (sp?) tempera is what it's called when used as artists medium.

Well I can see not too many have had experience with this one so I'll give it a shot.....aside from doing tests whenever possible the Raymind Leblanc Bokk with edits by Kent Smith is a good start. They seem to cover almost everything and I hope you've left yourself some time on this job.

Goldie....for a buck even I would have bought one...and then regretted the time I spend opening it and going through it!! What a joke and I'm sure all the contributors are getting their share of the royalties too.

Okay Kelly....a touching story and I think your Dad must have already been bitten by this "Letterheads Spirit"

Vance....me thinks "the Boss" used to also reprime the letters in advance of something like this....and he used to spray with a metal primer. I think the spray (size) with an HVLP is a good idea and would give one letter a try first, even IF it seems all is well.

Okay Doug?.....Okay Kelly.....I meant the forum. Works going gang busters right now and am trying to get myself ready for the Scotland meet in a week. For me...am stopping into Liverpool for a couple of days in advance to see a few old pubs...yuppers, I am obsessed ;=) and then off to the "Tick...

It has been SO quiet here for a couple of weeks and if my business is any indication, me thinks everyone is getting real busy. Every once in a while with the girls in Cornwall (sign-it), we'll give each other a call and take the temperature. Nancy called several weeks ago and as usual they also were...

Gotta add a favourite....the work in the Ken Burns series "Jazz" is amazing...and all historical footage to boot!

Roderick...just a drop or two. I got a small jar which is about3" high and2" around (sorry can't do ml to once conversions in my head) and figger thats about a lifetime supply
