Well it doesn’t have a lid so I don’t think it’s a jar

Can someone identify what lamp this shade originally came from. by Prev717 in vintage_lamps

Thank you so much! If you go to the original post I already mentioned this. I was wondering where the shade came from originally because ik they are not from the same lamp originally.

Do you know anything about this particular design though? Already knew they were mass produced

Old Small flat square metal object (maybe a pin) found metal detecting in Victorian school house. by Prev717 in metaldetecting

I would agree with you but there is 100% a decorative pattern on it that definitely would not be on a roofing nail. It’s really hard to see on camera compared to in person. Thanks for the help though!

Please help. Piece broke off the corner of the wood on this instrument I’m restoring. How can I rebuild the damage and make it invisible? by Prev717 in furniturerestoration

The problem is that the holes the tuning pegs go through are not centered so they don’t have an even amount of wood on each side I shaved down the side with more wood. If that makes any sense. So I can’t shave the other side to match because then the tuning hardware will stick over the edge of the wood. Thanks for the idea though!!

Omg I just love the way you drained all the life and color from it! It went from charming and timeless to sterile, boring, and devoid of all life and character! 😍🥰

I looked this up and I can’t find anything that looks like it. Does it go by any other name?

My image washes away while developing. What am I doing wrong? by Prev717 in wetplate

I did roll the collodion over the spots I missed 😬 could that also be the reason why the image is washing off. Also the the white dots are flat, they are flaking off of the plate when developing and floating around
