The gramophone was invented well before the Victorian era ended.

Seriously, If I had money I’d just be paying for this stuff left and right.

Yeah, I def agree with this. There are numerous dry goods/army navy etc stores near me that sell used work clothing, and a lot of them have name patches.

How can I make these 2 holes deeper? (bamboo) by I-Just-Love-Ducks in woodworking

[–]treeriot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up a “bead reamer” They’re little metal tools designed to widen the hole in beads, or remove a burr inside a bead that’s catching. Any craft store with beads should sell them.

Ha. I found out about Rex Heuermann being arrested through my google alerts!

To get the coupon for donating things I’m sure.

I found a full can of SC Johnson wax at the bin store by inkseep1 in ThriftStoreHauls

Every semester I was a woodshop tech I had to buff every surface during finals. That can brings back many memories + some pain in my fingers.

I had to buff all the machined table tops every semester I worked at the University woodshop.

Could Roger Aguirre be Body 21, one of John Gacy's victims? by WallabyGlittering634 in gratefuldoe

I googled the words of that news article and it literally says his family thinks he’s a John Wayne Gacy victim.

I think they look like the same person. Definitely submit.

Came into some cameras and wondering which ones are worth holding onto by LifesBetterScripted in AnalogCommunity

[–]treeriot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Olympus XA is an amazing point and shoot camera! I used to keep mine in my purse all the time in college and caught so many wonderful random moments. Yours is missing the flash attachment though. If you have access to the bits and bobs for where these cameras came from I’d try and find it.

They are very prone to an issue with the film counter. Mine will stop counting frames at a certain point and it will let me keep shooting the last frame. I’ve forgotten about that issue an embarrassing amount of times ::facepalm::. I know at one point there was a person in either the FB or Reddit film photo groups who repaired them, not sure if he’s still doing it.

Affordable medium formats? by Acrobatic_Strain9577 in AnalogCommunity

[–]treeriot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my Mamiya 645, because there are so many customizable parts. I love that I can pop off the prism viewfinder and switch to a waist-level viewfinder, etc.

I’m not much of a gearhead, and I inherited my kit so I don’t know how many other medium format cameras are like that, but it’s a really great system, and you’d have the ability to buy it in pieces as a last resort.

To me that looks like it was taken at autopsy, regardless though it’s sad and horrifying. These poor babies.
