Sword restoration: Boss Level. x4 hours of deep cleaning and scrubbing to get this poor babe feeling good about life again! ⚔ I love being able to do this for people’s tools. It makes everyone happy, especially the sword. I don’t care how they got that way- just give them to me and I’ll make everything better.
The Apollo 11 command module, which took the first moonwalkers to lunar orbit and back in 1969, is undergoing a painstaking restoration, in preparation for an unusual national tour later this year.
Until recently, the capsule sat in the main lobby of the National Air and Space Museum, where it had been since the museum opened in 1976. Conservator Lisa Young says that occasionally workers would open up its Plexiglas case to look it over or put in new lighting.
“But it never really went under a full examination or investigative analysis as to all of the certain materials on there, how stable they are,” says Young, who is working on the spacecraft now in a restoration hangar at the Smithsonian’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Va., outside of Washington, D.C.
“Our big job as conservators right now is to figure out, if we are going to put it back on display permanently, what could be happening to it in 50 years,” says Young, who wants to prevent future deterioration.
TheHyperRestore was conceived by a brother restorer looking for a better way. He turned his DIY efforts into a device that uses air to create tension on your shaft skin. Inflation is a proven method of restoring, so this device may be the one for you. — KOT!
Restoring my antique truck mounted Emglo air compressor. It’s a 1960 Scaife tank with Emglo pump, powered by a Tecumseh HM80 gas engine. Super cool and built in the USA with good ol’ Pennsylvania steel. Just need Emglo decals and some piping to complete.
Slip ware dish commemorating Charles II famous escape from the Roundheads in 1651 By William Talor 1680-85
Estimated to be worth £45,000-60,000, it depicts the moment in the English Civil War when the 21 year old Charles II hid in a huge oak tree in Boscobel House, Shropshire to escape the attentions of marauding Roundheads. He had been soundly beaten the day before at the Battle of Worcester on 3 September 1651 by Cromwell’s New Model Army and remained perched in the tree for several hours until the danger passed. With the Civil War effectively over, Charles gave up the struggle to regain the throne and escaped to mainland Europe where he lived until the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1660.
The tale of the Royal Oak gripped the public imagination and Pepys recorded in his diary that the King has related it to him personally. The dish was made by William Talor in the early 1680s and is only one of four dishes by the potter on this theme to have survived.
↳ 29 May 1660 AD ‘Oak Apple Day’ - Restoration of the monarchy in England. From Pepys diary “Parliament had ordered the 29th May, the King’s birthday, to be for ever kept as a day of thanksgiving for our redemption from tyranny and the King’s return to his Government, he entering London that day.”
the first image of the completed restoration of Johannes Vermeer’s Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window (around 1657-59) has been released today by Dresden’s Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, fully revealing a hidden image of Cupid. The change to the composition in one of Vermeer’s most famous paintings is so great that the German museum is dubbing it a “new” Vermeer in publicity materials.
The painting has been in the museum’s collection for more than 250 years and the hidden Cupid had been known about since an x-ray in 1979 and infrared reflectography in 2009. It had been assumed that the artist himself had altered the composition by covering over the painting of Cupid.
The Holy Spirit renews us in baptism through His godhead, which He shares with the Father and the Son. Finding us in a state of deformity, the Spirit restores our original beauty and fills us with His grace, leaving no room for anything unworthy of our love. The Spirit frees us from sin and death, and changes us from the earthly men we were, men of dust and ashes, into spiritual men, sharers in the Divine Glory, sons and heirs of God the Father– who bear a likeness to the Son and are His co-heirs and brothers, destined to reign with Him and to share His glory. In place of earth, the Spirit reopens heaven to us and gladly admits us into paradise, giving us even now greater honour than the angels, and by the holy waters of baptism extinguishing the unquenchable fires of hell.
We men are conceived twice: to the human body we owe our first conception, to the divine Spirit, our second. John says: “To all who received Him, who believed in His name, He gave power to become children of God. These were born not by human generation, not by the desire of the flesh, not by the will of man, but of God.” All who believed in Christ, he says, received power to become children of God– that is, of the Holy Spirit, and to gain kinship with God. To show that their parent was God the Holy Spirit, he adds these words of Christ: “I give you this solemn warning, that without being born of water and the Spirit, no one can enter the kingdom of God.” [But through that same Spirit, He has given us both the power and means to accomplish this.]
Visibly, through the ministry of priests, the [water of the baptismal] font gives symbolic birth to our visible bodies. Invisibly, through the ministry of angels, the Spirit of God, whom even the mind’s eye cannot see, baptizes into Himself both our souls and bodies, giving them a new birth. Speaking quite literally, and also in harmony with the words of water and the Spirit, John the Baptist says of Christ: “He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.” Since we are only vessels of clay, we must first be cleansed in water and then hardened by spiritual fire – for God is a consuming fire. We need the Holy Spirit to perfect and renew us, for spiritual fire can cleanse us, and spiritual water can recast us as in a furnace, and make us into new men.
1965 Lincoln Continental in for some repairs and upgrades. Upgraded audio with Phoenix Gold equipment and Stinger wiring. The slim mount subwoofer enclosure sounds great and fit perfectly under front seat. We added a set of stainless cup holders in the armrest. We also rebuild and adjusted the power windows and convertible top. #lincoln #continental #1965 #suicidedoors #classiccar #restoration #customcaraudio #thegarageorlando #aamp #phoenixgold #stinger #lincolnland #teamphantom @phoenixgold_stinger @lincolnland @eastwoodco
“Contested Stripping,” as seen on Skyd Magazine. (This comic’s causing quite a stir in the comments section, so make sure to weigh in on the discussion.)
3 years of restoration work in the making to bring this beauty the glory it has always deserved. Outside of my children () there has been no bigger time, energy, and money suck. There were so many nights spent awake + stressing or in tears of frustration; so many hours + days + weeks spent woodworking in the swamp heat with no a/c, travelling between Maine and Texas, exhaustion sinking into my marrow.
But she’s finished. She’s gorgeous. She was worth it.
And 16 year old me—who promised to someday buy the childhood house my family (and three others) were tossed out of by a slumlord and make it a thriving home once again; something that can’t be taken away from my community—is feeling proud.
The harnesses are enriched by metal phaleras on which images of various gods are placed to protect the steed and its owner, including Jupiter, Venus, Mars, Juno, Minerva, and Mercury.
Yo Genuine Question OP how would I go about doing this in my neighbor hood, do you need to talk to the Church? or is it a permit thing? Sorry if you already have a post about the process but I’m supper curious.
Yeah, definitely reach out to the Church! In this case it’s a family cemetery, so no permission needed. But I did get on to the council of the neighbouring decommissioned church, and asked for full permission before proceeding over there. And if it’s not old stones like this, try and make sure the living family is cool with it.
As for the process, you should watch some videos that emphasize using solutions like D2, and only gentle cleaning methods. Good luck!
Restoration of a Vermeer’s painting-new in history (8/?)
In a recent restoration of a Vermeer masterpiece, an image of Cupido was restored. While it was already longer know that an image of Cupido was painted over, recent research proved it wasn’t painted over by Vermeer, but in a later stage. This recent restoration now shows the painting as it was intended by Vermeer. (x)
Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) was a Dutch Baroque painter during Holland’s Golden Age.
