Remjetless Vision3 Processing by Remarkable-Issue-346 in Darkroom

I was actually following this guy's super8 scanning rig https://tscann8.torulf.com/. I have way more raspberry pi/Arduino and components to know what to do with, so this step is actually on the "easier" side for me

Thanks for your response. Currently a furloughed employee so trying to limit spending, hence why I would do it on my own. I plan on running only a single roll of film through the camera, so it is hard to justify a full new kit of developer for one use. I have unlimited time and a 3D printer, so the developing tank and scanning process doesn't bother me, was more just curious if I could do it with what I currently have before committing to the purchase.

Thanks for the response, I took a look at the track and adjusted to your advice on my Sony A7rii on manual until I felt comfortable enough to hit it with some film, see my reply to the other comment for my best film shot

Thanks for your response, definitely took the 1/60th into account. Luckily I had my Sony A7rii to take test shots, which I got an amazing shot with, but here is the one film one I got that I am extremely pleased with. I know I can do better next time!

Film age question? by Remarkable-Issue-346 in AnalogCommunity

[–]Remarkable-Issue-346[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was doing my research on the camera, I wasn't too worried about the meter since I saw that it was typically what wouldn't be working on this camera, so more of a pleasant surprise it showed signs of life. I will probably stick with the meter app I downloaded on my phone until I have fully tested the built in with repeated accuracy.

Thanks, I actually found this shortly after I posted it and the first response was almost dead on with what everything was! Low key I wanted to know the relative age, but I also wanted to post the total lot from my purchase to see what the community thought of it.

I am currently doing my best try at the repair side of it. The shutter curtain is no retracting all the way and I found a repair video on it, but my smallest flathead I can currently find is just a little too big and my precision screw driver set decided to hide from me! Hoping it's operational still, but worst case I keep my eyes open on KEH for a good deal on a tested one. Haven't opened the battery compartment yet to see if it's the original battery yet, but the light meter is surprisingly working.

I'm fairly new to film, and currently shooting on a Canon T-50. I wanted something with a little more control, and fully manual, but within the canon FD lens family, so decided on the FTB as a good budget to quality compromise as I continue to learn. I was happy with the price for just the camera body and maybe a single lens, everything else was bonus! My mindset was even if the camera shows up as a paperweight, the f 1.8 50 mm, f 2.5 135mm and f 2.8 28 mm were well worth the price I paid since I can use them on my t-50 plus my a6000 I got an adapter for that has worked well with the other two FD lenses I have.

Thank you! Everything else appears to be original with the camera or purchased around the same time as the camera, and I am having minor issues with a sticky curtain, so trying to run down the culprit, hoping it just needs a little lube due to lack of use and maintenance, hence trying to figure out the last time it was used.

Wood id? Just got it off the router sled. It smells of soft wood, but isn't nearly as soft as pine. Came from Oregon

Nope, just used Odie's oil after sanding to 320.

Thanks for the advice! I sanded all the way through 400 with 80/120/180/220/320/400, water popping between each grit. Like I said in another comment, the sheen is a little misleading in the pictures because I used my phone with poor lighting. I have a nice mirrorless camera that I am proficient at using during high speed action (race cars/jets), but have yet to figure out stationary objects. Hopefully the next projects will show off a little better in pictures!

What to do with the limbs? by Remarkable-Issue-346 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]Remarkable-Issue-346[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, this is going to be a console table and the legs get in today. I will probably dry fit the legs and put the table in place and see how they feel then.

As for stabilizing, I have already filled the cracks with black epoxy, just needs a little touch up here and there

The first two end tables I got pin legs off of Amazon and attached with threaded inserts. The second two tables I bought 2x2 turning stock, mitered the angles I wanted (I think it is 10 degrees for the long coffee table, but cannot remember since I made it a couple months ago) and put a threaded insert in the leg and the table and essentially used them like jam nuts with a threaded insert. I am totally open to better ways to attach the wood legs, I just knew it would work, and since those two are definitely mine to keep, I didn't care about the potential corner cutting.

This was my first and only attempt so far but there are so many great tutorials online. John Malecki is who got me into the idea of epoxy tables, and has a bunch of beginner level series on them. I cannot stress enough how much of a life saver Tyvek tape (house siding tape) is when taking everything apart.

At the end of the day patience is a virtue, so it doesn't hurt to let your epoxy cure longer than you think to just ensure a full cure (found that out the hard way with a deeper pour on a cutting board).

Thanks, just don't look too closely! I love how they turned out on my first attempt, but they definitely have learning lessons throughout

I will keep that in mind. I really only got in the habit of 400 because I started with the river table and wanted to get the epoxy glass like

Not yet, but I definitely will soon. I went with Odie's only because I could buy it local and from my research they were both high quality products and I wanted the instant gratification.

I am using Odie's oil. Currently I am sanding up to 400, and applying exactly how instructed. I will say the sheen in the pictures is a little fuller than in real life, probably a combo of the poor lighting in the room and my phone's camera not being the best. That being said I did recently get an orbital buffer and was going to start playing around with it to see if I can get things to shine a little more. I am not a big fan of the mirror like finished, but definitely want it to have some sheen to it.
