Completed Winter Kitsuke
This is another one of the semi-traditional outfits appearing in the show. The ensemble was meant to display how one would wear kimono in the winter. It features multiple layers, a haori and a wool scarf. While the main components of the outfit are purely traditional, there are details that hint at western infuence; includig riding boots and a paisley pattern on the scarf.

Sling-style camera straps are all I use now, they're great. I also like the PacSafe camera strap for its slimness and low profile shoulder pad, so I combined them! Unfortunately, the strap may not be long enough for some people after this mod. I would've liked a few more inches but it's just about perfect as-is (fully extended).
For those who don't know, the PacSafe has steel cables running through the piping on each side of the webbing. No slash-and-grabs with this strap! I also like how the snaphook locks.
To do it, just remove the stitching at each tri-bar slide (see the "remove_stitcing" photo), disassemble everything, then with one end of the strap, reattach it to the middle bar of the tri-bar slide, as seen in the "sewn_side" picture. The part of the strap that goes over the middle bar wont have the steel running through it, the steel terminates just before the TBS. You can duplicate the hourglass stitching pattern or just use lines. For mine I went with three perpendicular lines of kevlar (yes, overkill :) ) thread.
After that, the other end of the strap goes under the TBS, over the middle bar, then down and out through the other side. You can play around with different configurations. Here, I have the TBS positioned above the shoulder pad.
Originally this was just the walker part of the build, then I added a landing pad when I found out how strong it was after strength testing it, then I decided why not add two more. I might make a rebel AT-MCC later down the line, but for now, at least, I’m done with this build

by Maria Edgeworth.
As I said in my last upload, I have decided to re-take this project even though I've been away for two months and I only have 7 weeks left to complete the 52...
Many things have happened. One of the most important is that I am almost done with my dissertation about Maria Edgeworth. In this pic I'm reading a recent re-edition of her last novel, Helen.
When I saw the cover on the Internet I liked it: www.guardianbookshop.co.uk/BerteShopWeb/viewProduct.do?IS...
but when had it in my hands I could not believe what I was seeing. I hate the cover with passion. It makes this book look like a sentimental cheap best-seller you could find in a shop in the airport. It totally opposes the approach I have given Edgeworth in my dissertation - I argue that she is a proto-feminist that wrote against patriarchy making use of a genre that was considered sub-literary at her time: the novel.
Nothing to do with this off-putting image of this re-edition. So, I decided to wrap the book in newspaper. I chose an article devoted to the Danish writer who spend her days in Africa, Isak Dinesen... what I did not plan was that the title of the article would end up looking as the title of the book! which is awesome :) Now it look like I'm reading "Date in Nairobi". Love it.
So long!
ps. ah, apparently, now I need glasses to read :( it was a bit weird at the beginning but now I'm kind of used to wear them

The veil is rent, the vision flies,
the dear illusions will not last,
the era of enchantment's past:
the wild romance of life is done,
the real history begun!

This is the northern portal of the Falkirk Canal Tunnel, which despite being a public tunnel manages to not feel too clinical or especially inviting. The tunnel has three shafts, all of which pour with water and the tunnel itself drips considerably. The path through is narrow and all that's stopping you falling into the canal is a wooden barrier. It's quite refreshing to see that it hasn't been ruined with security gates and masses of safety messages (although one exists for canal users).
As you can see, we didn't really have a great day weather-wise last Saturday so spending a few hours in a wet and narrow tunnel was for the best. However, I did manage to get out yesterday so at some point in the next six months (I'm mocking my own uploading schedule there), expect to see some sunny photos from Lower Largo and Windygates - I was even able to get away without wearing my coat yesterday.

Made from junk computer parts and household items, mostly.
Runtime is approximately 30 minutes on 200ml jar of freshly boiled water. Infinite if the jar is heated. The speed is modest at about 100RPM tops.
No lathe required, only drill press, some minimal milling work, soldering, and sawing.
This engine has real piston, not a makeshift rubber membrane.

Task Completed, you can see the adjusting nut on the end of the anchor pin has been fitted, this squeezes the new top hat bush we had custom machined up against the side of the road springs and stops any lateral movement. The pipe going into the anchor pin is the auto lube which will keep the pin and bush inside fed with oil to limit wear. Graham will now descend on the whole area and touch up the paintwork.

Yippee! Just finished crocheting a nice bathroom set for the Bernat Blog. It was fun to learn a new craft.

The Anglican and Catholic Cathedrals.
Catholic: the first Church was erected in Goulburn in 1843. It was totally demolished to make way for this grand Gothic cathedral in 1871. But the cathedral with its transepts, sanctuary, chapels and tower was not completed until 1887.It was officially opened by Cardinal Moran in 1890 when the fine pipe organ was installed but not consecrated until 1898. It is built with a local slightly green igneous stone with Marulan sandstone quoins and dressings. The diocese was created in 1864 but the first Irish Bishop died before he reached Goulburn. It was a later Bishop Lanigan who selected the architects (Stombuco and Spadacini) for the new cathedral in 1871. At the same time he commissioned St. Patrick’s College across the road which started teaching boys in 1874.(It merged with Marian girls college in 2000 to become Trinity College on a different site). The Catholic Conclave of buildings includes the Bishop’s palace and the presbytery for the priests designed by Goulburn architect E Manfred and completed in 1909 with its central full height Gothic gable with bay windows on the ground floor. Inside the cathedral make sure you see the Caroline Chisholm 875,000 piece mosaic mural behind the organ. It was unveiled in 2011.
Anglican: Queen Victoria via Letters Patent established the diocese and cathedral in 1863. Bricks from the original 1839 church were used to build it with white Bundanoon sandstone in 1884 to a design by noted colonial architect Edmund Blacket. Work began in 1874 and took ten years to complete at a cost of £25,000. The fine turreted Blacket bell tower, only completed in 1988, now has 12 bells with the last two being added in 2005. The diocese now includes Canberra which was added 1950. The interior is exceptionally fine with tracery windows, one of the finest carved Bishop’s thrones in Australia and interior woodwork and furniture designed by Edmund Blacket. The font and pulpit were carved in England.

Well I gave up on trying to fake concete with styrofoam and just used the real thing, although the aggregate is a little big for the scale...and he's a bit too close to the background back anyway, it's good to finally have it done.
