Who's running the pool for how soon those wind-chimes get ripped from their pozzy?
They've been up for about 3 years now. They were my late grandmothers. I gave her one every year at Christmas and she gave them back a couple years before she passed. So they are going on 10 years old or so... There is a big one to the right and another one that sounds like the bells of Notre dame to the left (not shown). I did finally lose one a while back as the string were rotten and it was a hopeless case to try and fix. I take them down before high wind event when I can.
I am sure they annoy the hell out of my neighbors but they can be very relaxing with a gentle breeze...
The neat part is that the first (white) and third section are on wheels. The middle section (white) is a table built to stand alone or sit on a ledge extending from the first table. So at any time, I could separate all three tables to have three independent work spaces.
Nice set up,Charlie! A lot of workspace with room to move around the table! :-bd ....I've been working this summer to get my room cleaned up when I've been home, lotta work involved! Your flat files integrated into table supports seals the deal for using space wisely!
Well, I fell off the bike on the way. I think I got to smart for my own good. Tried a new bleaching method and now Bush Christmas gave me a gift I didn't want... #-o
Wheat paste ain't sticking... David, you think that was oil on the poster or just foxing???
Oh no...so rare, it was the only rolded unfolded Bush Christmas on the planet!
Would say almost 100% foxing, came in a pile of others (assorted titles) some with and some without and varying degrees of it.

I think I got it figured... There are two rather large air returns in the new studio. I had taken the vents covers off during the remodel and really liked the air flow. I just now realized that one of these vents was blowing directly onto the the poster where I was working. Perhaps drying it too fast before I ever put in on the masa... I noticed this after ruining a cheap experiment poster during paper backing. The one side just curled up, while the other lay nice and flat. I've pasted another one tonight (a 1950's Oldsmobile ad for Mark) and moved it in the other room where I use to dry the posters. Fingers crossed...

Very interesting! My poster room has a fan in it which I use when I'm in there or I use after ive just backed a poster to help dry-but after my first 2 posters I turned it off as I felt it was drying the paste too quickly before i could apply it to the masa or poster.
