Re: Light Box chipping table
Hi Jeff,
What is the distance from the tubes to the Lexan and is the box pretty much sealed, or is there a vent to let heat out?

Re: Florence window gilding
Hi Dan, very nice eye candy. Thank you for sharing your great gilding 'finds'. Please share some more with us. In the second photo what is the background behind the "Caffee'" lettering - it looks like it might be copper leaf?

Re: "True Grit" signs
Greetings all - Today I had the opportunity to see the new version of True Grit. I thought it was a great remake of the John Wayne classic.

Re: L'art pour L'art
Wow Very nice work. I love that green it sets everything off very nicely. I, like Kelly, am curious about the flowers and the pictorial. How are they done? Those wing tips work into the gold and chipped area really well.

That's one very impressive site and the eye candy is wonderful. I, for one, certainly don't mind getting 'lost' on your site. What, if any, computer software did you use to develop all the artwork?
Again, well done

Re: Blasting defferent types of substrates

If you recycle your blasting media you probably don't want to mix in wood or HDU particles into the same abrasive you use for glass.
