A bit more done to the octogon barrel, draw filing down the flats then a rub with fine abrasive cloth held on to a bit of planed wood to keep the lands flat..
Photos from our backpacking trip to Gem Lake. It turned out to be the hottest day on record an I got suffered from altitude sickness before we could set up camp at 9,000 feet.
These shots were taken on my Belair using cross processed 120 film in the camera's wide view.
Gem Theater, Cairo, Illinois. Looks to be in better shape than much of the rest of the neighborhood. It's on a street where brick pavers and old-time street lights were put up in a thwarted redevelopment attempt.
I was surprised to find this little gem on an otherwise bland road. I wonder how many more years this trailer park can hold out.

Saw this in the parking lot at a local super market while I was on vacation. At first I thought it must be a modified golf cart, but actually it's a GEM e2, an all
electric vehicle that's "street legal up to 35 mph in most states."

Rising some 5,906 feet (1,800 m) above sea level, Squaw Butte, named by Native Americans who used this area as their winter resort, stands at the north end of the valley. The Payette River was named after Francois Payette, a fur trader from Quebec who was put in charge of old Fort Boise in 1818 and traveled through the area. Permanent settlement began in the early 1860s, after gold discoveries in the Boise Basin brought people over the established stage and pack train routes. Two of these trails joined at the Payette River north of the present river bridge in Emmett.
In 1883 James Wardwell had the town platted, and in 1900 the town was incorporated as Emmett. Later, in March 1902, the Idaho Northern railroad came to the valley.
After the closing of the mines in 1906, the power lines were extended to Emmett. A series of irrigation projects made it possible for more rapid expansion of the town as the major service center for a farming and fruit-growing valley. In the early 1900s fruit packers adopted the label of "Gem of Plenty" because of the fertility of the valley. During the mining era the valley was known as the "garden" for the mining regions.
Until 2001, the city was home to a Boise Cascade manufacturing facility. The Black Canyon diversion dam on the Payette River, built in the early 1920s, is east of the city.

I want to introduce you to the tram shack I grew up in. I slept in the beds, staring at the ceiling. I opened the windows and dropped into the dining table the other side.
I hurt myself on the bars near the doors and lost toys down the retractable windows. I crawled under the tram and have many Christmas memories of this tram.
This is the Jenkin Tram shack at Pt Parham and if you ask the right people, you can rent it for some relaxing time at the beach.
My Grandfather bought the Tram and land back in 1955.
I believe the tram is a Type C. It has been in my family since the 1950's.
It is a Straight roof combination car - nickname 'Desert Gold'
This class of Adelaide tram included No's 171 - 190. (This is a photo of 190)
They were introduced in: 1918
Withdrawn: 1954
Electrics: 2 x 50hp GE 202 motors, magnetic track brakes
Size: 34ft x 8ft 11in
Seating/Crush load: 40/102
These trams were very fast cars which were used to compete with unlicensed private (known as pirate) buses in the 1920s.

Originally known as ‘Desert Golds’ after a fast race horse of the time.
During the First World War (1914-18), the MTT (Municipal Tram Trust) urgently needed more tramcars because of passenger traffic generated by line extensions and the Port Adelaide system. Wartime conditions made it hard to obtain equipment, so twenty tram cars similar to the seventy type A trams were built – again by Adelaide car-building firm Duncan & Fraser. They looked very modern because of the simple arched roof, but this was simply a cost saving measure, not a design feature.
Larger motors made them faster. Like the A types they were modelled on, they seated forty passengers and carried a further sixty-two standees.
A planned purchase of large trams was delayed by World War I. Type C trams were small combination cars, built in 1918–1919 as an interim measure. They were similar in basic design to the older A type but had a more modern curved roof rather than a clerestory roof. During their construction, the old motors from the E type (General Electric 202 motors) were fitted to these new trams. Rated at 50 hp each compared to the 33 hp units fitted to the A types, these trams were considerably faster.
Due to the their consequent higher speeds they became known as Desert Gold trams, after a New Zealand racehorse that had won races in Australia at the same time. This speed became useful in competition against unlicensed buses in the 1920s, and they were used in peak service until 1952 with the last use for the royal visit of 1954. Trams 181 to 190 inclusive were allocated to the Port Adelaide system for a short period in the 1930s before closure of the system, mainly used on the Port Adelaide - Albert Park line.[49] During the 1930s, the original Hale Kilburn seating fitted to these trams were replaced with Brill Winner seats taken out of 20 A type trams (numbers unknown).

This is Epoxamite 101 with crushed amethyst and shells embedded in the resin. I also used just a bit of So-Strong and Ignite tints to color the resin a bluish-purple

Porto União (SC) e União da Vitória (PR) possuem juntas cerca de 90 mil habitantes. Entre 1912 e 1916, a região foi um dos cenários da Guerra do Contestado. Com o Tratado de Limites, Porto União ficou para Santa Catarina e União da Vitória para o Paraná. A linha férrea, que pertencia a estrada de ferro de São Paulo ao Rio Grande do Sul, delimita as duas cidades e é um dos memoriais da região. Em 1983, as cidades sofreram uma catástrofe com a maior cheia do Rio Iguaçu. Já atualmente, após chuvas regulares, o rio ainda atinge moradores.
