The outer casing was made of cast iron. The laundry copper insert was filled with cold water. A wood fire was lit under the base and the water eventually came to the boil. A copper was often used for boiling white sheets to get them very clean. The clothes were then removed with a wooden stick and placed in the rinsing water. Velvet soap or home made soap was grated into the copper,

Three Kings from an Adoration Group
Poplar with paint and gilding
German, Swabia, before 1489
From the high altar of the Cistercian abbey at Lichtenthal, near Baden-Baden
The Cloisters collection, 1652
These three kings, along with a seated Virgin and Child, formed the central shrine of a large altarpiece flanked by wings illustrating scenes from the life of the Virign painted by Hans Schuchlin (act. Ulm 1469-1505). One of the wings is dated 1489 and bears the name of the donor, Margarethe, daughter of Margrave Karl I of Baden and Katharina of Austria, a sister of Emperor Frederick III. Margarethe was the Abbess of Lichtenthal from 1477 until her death in 1496.
Represented on the outer sides of the wings are the Annunciation and the Visitation, and on the inner sides, the Birth of the Virgin and the Death of the Virgin. The elegant attenuated figures with balletic stances and the broad drapery patterns suggest a sculptor trained in Ulm and were probably executed somewhat earlier than the painted wings.
From the dimensions of the wings, we know that the central shrine was over seven feet high and over nine feet wide. Such dimensions would allow for the ancillary figures and the architectural tracery that surmounted the scene. The altarpiece was dismantled in the eighteenth century; the Virgin and Child are still in the convent for which the altar was made, and the two painted wings are in the Stastliche Kunsthalle, Karlsruhe. The other figures are now lost.
Finished commission of "Desert Attack Brawl" from Revenge of the Fallen. While I realize his "correct" name is "Deep Desert" Brawl, I thought "Desert Attack" sounded cooler. There are no mods to this custom, only a repaint, but a painful repaint...the outer shell of the his tank mode is meticulously painted 3 shades of camouflage. If you look carefully at the front driver side, you may see a secret message (partial spin on the request from the commissioner)
The outer harbour at Mevagissey had plenty of water on the other hand, and the cruise boats that take you around the coast were able to dock here and take people on trips.
And secondly a new Montana agate ring. This pattern is amazing. I'm not a huge fan of yellow, but the pattern was so cool I had to have this stone. It's like a close up of a planetary ring in a far away galaxy. Or ... the very edge of the Milky way.
The sign inside the Edinburgh Castle describing the Castle Gates. As per the sign, the Castle Gates describes a period of 2000 years where an outer gate as a part of the Castle Gates defended the fortress from attack, and with an inner gate. The Edinburgh Castle is a historic structure, with the royal castle dating back to the time of the kind David I from the 12th century. The Castle is built on a volcanic high, called the Castle Rock. The Castle was very important in the medieval ages, when there were conflicts to ensure Scottish independence from England. However, by the time of the 15th century, the importance of the Castle as the site of political power and dispute had reduced, and over the centuries, this importance reduced. After the crown of England and Scotland was unified in 1603, this decline in the importance of the castle reduced further. It was only in the last 200 years that there was an effort to do restoration of the castle and emphasize its historical importance.
The Castle dominates the skyline of Edinburgh, especially because it is built on a higher platform than the rest of the city, being built on a volcanic high. The castle height made it a good defensive platform, but the hard rock on which it was built also made it difficult to get water through wells.
The importance of the Castle for Scotland is very high, with the castle being a recognizable symbol of the city of Edinburgh, and it is used in the logos of many institutions, used on the banknotes issued by the Royal Bank of Scotland.
