A rather wonderful ship-shaped weather vane on the top of the hall of the Shettleston Old Parish Church Hall on Killin Street in the East End of Glasgow. The hall was designed by W.F. MacGibbon, and was built around 1900.

Salut belle communauté,

Fait frette ces temps cis donc pas de shop. J'y vais jusqu'à -10C. En bas de ça, c'est masochiste... 👌😉

J'y suis allée ce matin après une belle longue pause ! J'ai changé l'orientation de mon petit Frérot. J'aime beaucoup sa petite présence mais il était trop couché. Là il va me regarder dans les yeux en prenant mon café le matin ✌️

Bonne journée à toutes et tous!

A 4,000-year-old silver bracelet discovered in a Spanish woman's grave has rewritten Bronze Age history. The ornament reveals that El Argar craftsmen were using sophisticated lost-wax casting centuries before anyone else in Western Europe—complete with an ancient fingerprint preserved in the metal.

The wooden knob kept coming loose, and while I could have epoxied it on, I didn't like that idea. If the knob ever needed replacement, I'd have to heat it up to get it off.

So instead, this morning, I forged a new knob from 12mm square mild steel bar.

It is flush riveted on via a tenon on the knob, and a countersink on the hole on the back of the locking bar.

A forged steel knob firmly attached to the locking bar of my gate latch.  It isn't perfectly spherical, more ovaloid from the stem but it is easy to grab and isn't coming off again.

Curious how? In the next days, we will show how to prepare the solution and post our tests on etching and cutting one of the hardest metal out there! 🤟⚡

Two large casting flasks cool on a firebrick pad. The one on the left has been cooling longer which you can see by the silver color. The one on the right still has a pink glow.

Twee grote gietkruiken koelen af op een vuurstenen plaat. Die aan de linkerkant koelt al langer af, wat je kunt zien aan de zilveren kleur. Die aan de rechterkant heeft nog een roze gloed.

If you look closely at this one you can see the water in the bucket still boiling from the temperature of the invested flask. We pour our silver at close to 1850*F and while it cools considerably before we quench it there's still a whole lot of heat.
~
Als je goed kijkt, kun je zien dat het water in de emmer nog steeds kookt door de temperatuur van de geïnvesteerde kolf. We gieten ons zilver bij bijna 1850°F, en hoewel het aanzienlijk afkoelt voordat we het afblussen, zit er nog steeds een heleboel hitte in.

Si vous regardez de près, vous pouvez voir que l’eau dans le seau bout encore sous l’effet de la température du plâtre investi. Nous coulons notre argent à près de 1850°F, et même s’il refroidit considérablement avant la trempe, il reste encore énormément de chaleur.
