I’m not at work today, it’s a warm and sunny day. Let’s varnish !
I bought these 4 paintbrushes for about 40€.
The black-haired brushes are pony hair and suitable for alcohol based varnish and water color. Because of the fluidity of the varnish you need a brush that does not resist under the pressure.
The grey-haired brushes are synthethic and stiffer wich allow you to apply oil varnish.
I’v already tested the first ones, they are pretty good, they keep well their shape and i was able to apply one coat on a plate with one charge of varnish in the brush.
I’ve initiated my girlfriend to tumblr! Go follow her!

I want to make my own purflings for my copy of the kochansky so i make some “veneer” of poplar. It’s a little hard because it consists in making a long woodchip with a plane, and make a 0,5-0,6mm one need strength!
My purflings will be 0,3mm for the black and 0,6mm for the white.
The next step will be dyeing the wood in black with campeche wood or logwood.
InstaCRT is Rube Goldberg’s answer to Instagram
Swedish developer Martin Ström, filmmaker Ruben Broman, and photographer Erik Wåhlström have teamed up to create a unique filter system for your iPhone images, using a real-world 1-inch CRT monitor. InstaCRT takes a typical iPhone camera image and instead of applying a software filter, it sends the photo to a machine in Sweden where it’s projected onto a 1-inch CRT screen (from a VHS camera) and a modern DSLR snaps a photo of the screen and sends it back to your iPhone.
I’ve sanded the box then put some coloured varnish on it. The next step is to french polish the box to make it shine.
This is the first time i try that, french polish is long !
I don’t know what sort of hinge i’ll put on it. Something simple, gold or black.
i’m making a little box to put powdered colophony that i used when i’m rehairing bows.
The box itself is made of plywood and covered with flamed maple and ebony.
I will later put some varnish on it, i don’t know exactly what.
