GFX + 32-64mm F4 @64mm F4
At first—and still somewhat now—I was hesitant about using an F4 zoom, since it feels quite slow for a prime shooter like me. Zooms have always seemed a bit boring and lazy, but sometimes they really are the most practical tools for the job. This lens is hefty in size, but it delivers solid image quality and offers decent background separation, which is useful sometimes for portrait and fashion work.
Compass tattoos have also represented the ideal of following one’s dreams. It is symbolic of staying your course in life and to not give up no matter how rough things may seem. The compass will guide you where you need to be. While the compass tattoo isn’t the most popular of all of the motivational tattoo designs out there, the message can be pretty clear if the tattoo is done correctly.
While the compass tattoo is not normally thought of as a popular “lucky charm” tattoo, it’s not hard to see why someone might give their tattoo this meaning. It is the type of tattoo you can look at when you have lost your way and use it to turn yourself around. When someone gets the compass tattoo to represent luck, they will usually get additional designs around it to make the meaning a bit more clear.
Compasses give many a sense of security concerning their direction. We trust and understand the magnetic guidance that’s provided by the compass. Others use the compass on their body to symbolize remaining on course when faced with hardship. The compass can also be compared with the North Star as its placement stays reliable and static. The home can be located by a compass as well, and it’s because of this many travelers and adventurers adorn themselves with the compass tattoo. Compass tattoos can be embellished with globes and nautical stars as to adequately portray this meaning. Widely seen as a protective ornament, the compass has for a long time been held in high esteem by many. Military servicemen and women have used it as a symbol of their loyalty and reliance to their branch in the military. It can also be associated with being a religious symbol. As the compass has been entrusted for centuries, it’s an ancient symbol of security and safety. Anchors, axes, boots and seabirds can be used to symbolize a hiking or naval background. The compass can be utilized as a bringer of luck and inspiration. People who get lost can use it to bring themselves inspiration. Since it is a practical tool, the compass is used as a symbol of luck like other practical tools, for example, horseshoes. Because it’s always pointing to the north and never changes, many view it as a beacon of inspiration. In times of urgency or need, we are always inspired by insights and epiphanies and a compass is a good example. A compass without a direction indicator can show a broken compass. One with a wildly spinning arrow can mean confusion or uncertainty. One with a considerable long chain can show attachment to the associated meaning. For instance, a chain connected to a religious item and a compass could indicate that the person gets their direction and guidance from that religion. A broken face plate can mean a lack of dependence on such tools. A compass that’s moldy or water filled can show age or self-reliance.

Many students found the yearly pilgrimage to safety in the Potions laboratory tedious and boring. Alex swore he heard a few yawns.
However, Alex took safety with paramount priority. He had watched disasters in previous years befall students who hadn't tied their hair back, or attempts to impress by straying from the recipe. All of course resulted in trips to the Hospital Wing.
Alex of course passed his Practical Potions Safety Test with flying colours, he couldn't wait to get brewing this year.
This is the second of our tweezing works. It requires more control over movement and is a little bit more difficult.

Here Mr. Sludden demonstrates the practical process behind the manufacture of a simple thermoplastic clock.
He starts by cuting out the template from stiff card. He then transfers the design onto the back of the acrylic that has had a layer of masking tape applied. A biro or black pencil can be used. It is important that the line is clearly visable.
Next he demonstrates cutting methods using the coping saw and fret or scroll saws. Note his position in relation to the workpiece in these examples.
Next, edge finishing techniques. Start by selecting the appropriate file. Flat, half-round or round are appropriate here. Begin by cross filing then use drew filing to complete this stage. Then choose coarse [180 grit] then fine [400 grit] silicon carbide or wet & dry abrasive papers to smooth the edges further. Complete by applying a metal[!] polish like Brasso or T-Cut to really polish the edge.
Next assembly. We used double sided tape here because the surfaces are not load bearing. In other designs we would recommend Acrylic Cement or sometimes Super Glue. These are fraught with difficulty and need careful masking for best results.
Next drill a 10mm hole to accomodate the clock mechanism. Use a step drill for best results. Clamp the workpiece to the drill table to avoid slippage.
Assemble clock mechanism using the array of components provided.
If necessary create a stand. Mr. Sludden demonstrates the use of the Strip Heater and Plastics Oven towards the end of this sequence. Attach to back of clock using cement. Mask first. Thermoplastic properties evident from photos provided.
