The call came from Henderburg’s Christmas Tree Farm near Rome in 2009. A weird rust (fir broom rust) — new to these Christmas tree growers— was wreaking havoc on their firs. The family helped every step of the way while we ID’d this nasty disease and created the fact sheets that help growers prevent its spread.
Cushman scooter rust. My father is restoring his 1948 Cushman scooter, which he recently found and bought.
These monopoles are approximately 40-45 years old. Their nearly century-old neighboring lattice tower has withstood the elements much better than this younger replacement for one set of the lattice towers.
NOTE...most of the right-of-way does not carry lines on the lowest tier, only the top three plus the shield wire.
These originate from the coal-fired steam generation plant in Kenosha, WI and the now de-commissioned Zion Nuclear Power Plant and terminate just south of Golf Road in Skokie, IL.
I noticed a pool of water inside my van after driving in the rain where the car seats hook into the floor. Looking underneath I could find no problem. Thinking it was a floor panel leaking. Though no more about it till It happened again and I wasn't driving this time. I hadn't notice the rust forming on the roof. Ah Ha!. The car is mechanically sound and paid for since it is a 1996 model. No warrentees. ACK! Since it is on the roof I just might attempt a repair. Don't laugh! LOL
in and around the ground of kirklinton hall, an empty husk of a stately home from the 1600's. a great location and I was privileged to meet the current ownner who plans to restore it to its former glory.

I saw this rust on a power box and just knew I could find a suitable quote.

these old frames have above-BB-shell cable guides. While they look cool, they are hard to clean. I also don't think the previous powdercoater did a good job cleaning around it so the paint looked uneven.

I tested the rust antiquing set on different brands of clay to see if any particular brand worked best. I didn't see any significant difference. Here are the results, from photo top to bottom (left column used 1 coat of metallic paint; right column used 2 coats)

UL Sculpey (white)
Fimo Soft (blue)
Kato (black)
Studio by Sculpey (green)
As you can see, it didn't really matter what color clay I used. (At least until I sanded off the finish -- see that here.)

This week I want to try some photographs in styles a bit out of my norm. No explanations; just imagery.
I didnt know which way I liked this picture better so I added both. I like the repetition in this one :)
