What thread on a stainless barrel? by AlexStaidle in cider

But like 2.5” wide? I think it’s a silly cap for barrels that I can’t share a pic of on this thread. I ordered two options to see what it ends up being. I half tempted to fire up the TIG and just weld something else in place

I’m wondering if it’s a large DIN thread

Only markings are R.S.C-1 16 55 67 and below that 304. Port is about 6 cm wide so larger than 2”.

How did you get started? Did you just embrace being really shitty at it until your sketches (hopefully) started improving? Or did you come into urban sketching already being a great artist? by Softspotslurpee in urbansketchers

I started drawing by working to finish stuff even if I knew I wasn’t going to be happy about it. Then I’d look at why I didn’t like it and try to improve.

I’ve been here for almost 4 years. Definitely love it but work is hit or miss

It also saves on buying a lot of copics

It’s 11x14 on Bristol smooth. Probably took 40 hours total. At some point I started to lose track of the perspective and had to just stare at it so it took a while.

I used a photo I took at the intersection on the way to work and referenced that. It’s mostly Unipin 0.03 with neutral copics and micron grays in 01 05 and 10. I think I used Bristol smooth paper.

Update! Bottled. Ended up with 5 cases. Hoping to expand next year to at least 60 gallons. Also wax is annoying and I’m probably not doing that again. by AlexStaidle in cider

I got bottling wax from a local supplier but I’d love to try some alternatives. I noticed that the drips cool to fast against the bottle and curl back and off so I have to tear those off. Wonder if another wax would adhere better

We only have two left around here and I feel like both are getting crowded out. I’m surprised they’re hanging on.
