I got the volute finished in time for Christmas.. ..you would put each of these halves in a moulding frame.. fill the frame with sand, turn the frame over, pop the pattern out leaving a cavity (mould) in the sand ..fill these core boxes with sand.. strickle off the joint and glue the two halves of sand core together ..then the core would fit into the cavity in the sand, located by the prints (painted black) leaving a 14mm space between the sand mould and the core.. this space would be filled with molten metal.. left to cool.. break the sand away and if my calculations are correct, you should have a cast aluminium volute pump looks pretty swish to say it's just carved out of wood This aftenoon.. i've been watching 'Fred Bibnah's World of Steam, Steel and Stone' on Yesterday while i wrap Christmas presents.. i roasted some chestnuts and took them around to the neighbours for hot, home baked mince pies with Limoncello .. followed by brandy and half a bottle of beaujolais ..i feel fucked and it's not even 6pm

Don't know if these have been posted but they look like a nice baggy-ass pair of chinos https://store.toyo-enterprise.co.jp/shopdetail/000000003224/moduct/ https://store.toyo-enterprise.co.jp/shopdetail/000000003223/moduct/ Moduct is an amalgamation of Modification and Product.. basically a Toyo sub-brand taking BR repros and modifying the cut.. like some other Toyo sub-brands they are MiC, at least what i saw on Hinoya was.

I love cars, so picked up a new vehicle this weekend. Had my previous car for 11 years, passing it on to my girlfriend.

I think the 2 patches prove they’re legit Canes.

Can i get a legit check on these Sugarcanes? Edwin-esque arcs, loose unfinished 46-esque threads, offset rear loop.. reverse yoke? Made in HK (which is the only reason i suspect they might be fake) ships from Austin TX.. could be one of @Broark many past regrets Slideshow here

Roy r01 jeans

Not fully dry but some nice bright and overcast shots after their second wash

I believe the blue tab is only on the regular 50's model, but could be wrong.

More walling shenanigans this last week -

I contact my connection at the museum and get to the bottom of it

My morning walk to work, wasn’t to shabby

Got invited for the opening of 50 yr hip hop in Holland. great expo in our local museum, got to rob elbows with old school writers, some mc’s and local cultural snobs. There was break dancing and Shoe, famous Dutch drag guy, wrote his name with dripping paint with a broom. Was a good night out with my own fly girl. We got all sentimental about a wall full of show posters we used to go to.

Jelado Chop jacket and FW 1947

Went to southern Florida this past weekend for a friend + colleague's wedding. Was really pleasantly surprised, overall, by how lovely and varied the landscapes were. Possibly the first time since pre-SuFu that I've flown somewhere and not brought a single pair of jeans??? Main event Sunday evening (feat. Django Atour x3 + MOTO derbies) Spent Sunday and Monday mornings at the beach (feat. Union Special, Tender Co., Freenote, Birks) & spent Monday afternoon at a nice big city park, inland a bit, before flying out (feat. Tender Co., Big John, Russell) Would def. go back!

@CSL thank you! It's a Danish oil finish. No stain, the Danish oil added a real nice yellow hue to the swamp ash. @ATWM I've posted us before in the music thread but that was a couple years ago. Here's a link to our newest EP. All our other releases are on our Bandcamp too (as well as the major streaming services if you prefer to use any of those). Slug - No Pity

no pictures of jeans but about 6 weeks ago i took some day hikes in Northern Michigan w/ my better half, and I was wearing the relevant pair. This past year, especially these past few months, I've gone back to making most of my pictures on film, save for jobs that need faster turnaround or when I have to deal with often obstinate airport security that will refuse a handcheck and ruin my shit. This means a longer delay in the pictures but I think I'm happier for it. Slapdash edit here. I photograph uprooted trees no matter what every time I come across them, have for years. Can't say exactly why...

Did he say that before he sold the FW47’s and bought the SC46’s instead?…Interesting

I was seriously tempted by those. Had they done them with a 1930s/40s chisel toe I'd probably have jumped.

Winter has arrived. Jeans on under the snow pants 🙂

Me and the GF coincidently had the day off work today so we took the short drive over to Keswick for a buggy push along the Threlkeld footpath which is a 3 mile stretch of ex railway line Pure blue sky as we approached Bassenthwaite on the A66 Skiddaw and surrounding fells with a bit of icing on top The footpath starts from the old train station in Keswick which closed in 1972 Old railway runnel under the A66 The river Greta looking back towards Keswick Mini waterfall And another tunnel Quick fit pic - Patagonia / LVC / Tracksmith Into the village of Threlkeld We called into the cafe for a brew and cake, soz no pics - my plate was just crumbs by the time I’d thought to whip my phone out And back the way we came Leaving keswick shot through the windscreen

A few quick pics. The fabric is really really nice. Like a duck canvas almost with a super soft, velvety hand. Very impressed.

As a bit of an update, I tried the Full Count options but sadly none quite fitted and I was firmly between sizes. However I semi-accidentally discovered a really nice option. There’s a brand in the UK called ‘Community Clothing’ which is pioneering all-British made garments and fabrics. Most of the stuff is sort of general wear basics type, I ordered a couple of pairs of the ‘field trousers’ on a whim. When they arrived I noticed a label inside for ‘E Tautz’, a 19th century Saville Row name I’d heard of somewhere. After some Googling, it turns out the Tautz field trouser was a popular item in 2015 when the then owner developed a style based on a Tautz archive piece. Apparently this Community Clothing version is a re-release of the same trousers as the owner is the same guy. They’re a great weight, and incredibly reasonably priced for a UK made garment. I think the fabric and construction is all British. Nice high rise, roomy leg. Not the outcome I was expecting but very pleased to have found it. They’re being hemmed at the moment but will post pics when they’re back with me.
