God help us.

 

[500e]

She's after your body

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I have now sorted the box, her shop is a charity shop, so I jade sure the shop was not left out of pocket.

Odd?
Yes but usefull.
The not book fits snuggly in my back pocket.
The magnets?
Great on a wirless Fire alarm to reset the devices.
The Cork?
Is a original stopper for a Paraffin Stove.

The LHS set is a sweet set. WD 1942 Post service weights. The scales are long gone.

Early 80's Slot car Mini cars. Both work, but need new tyres.

Why not?

Mamod Workshop.

GWR Rail Lantern. I can see the red and green glass is intact, but the slides are seized.

Fuel and new boots. I have worn the boots to break em in.

 

[julianthegypsy]

That's a good haul, I love the railway lamp.

Do you have a warehouse to store all your finds ?

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Do you have a warehouse to store all your finds ?

No.
I have a TADIS.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I have a few. This one does need some TLC.

There is a fad to paint them with black board chalk.

 

[Barking Mat]

No.
I have a TADIS.

No.
I have a TADIS.

That clears that up then.

My son asked me to build a time machine Monday morning, before school, but I'm a bit stumped frankly.

Can I borrow yours ?

You did borrow it, next frieday and returned it last week.

Well, it is his job.

I acquired a box from Roblane65, if you've been paying attention to this thread you'll know what's in it.



Unfortunately I got it sent back home, and I won't be able to go back and collect it for a few weeks. In my excitement, I've just bought six rolls of B&W film and everything needed to develop it. I really wanted colour, but that's three times the price and out of stock everywhere. Maybe I'll get some filters and have a go at trichrome to satisfy my need for colour.

 

[Bornfree]

Iam hoping this will get out some 50 year old nails without too much wood damage.

 

[Farside]

Maybe I'll get some filters and have a go at trichrome to satisfy my need for colour.

It's oddly satisfying when it works half-well.
Fwiw, I've tried all sorts of B&W developers and keep coming back to good old D-76 or ID-11.
Caffinol works quite well, too.

Have a go at this...
Blue....

Green...

Red....

Just to make it more authentic, it was shot on an early 6x6 folder of around 1910-ish vintage.

Those shortbreads wouldn't have lasted that long on my workbench!

I've gone for Hydrofen developer, for no reason in particular.

I had a go at combining those images but it looks rubbish, it's possible I have no idea what I'm doing.

 

[Seadog]

The sole reason for my SA visit. @The_Yellow_Ardvark will probably recognise where I am.
