    DIY compressed air dryer

    My last post about the setup of my fossil workshops for a while.... In this video I show how I constructed a MONSTER, DIY air dryer for the compressed air system in my fossil prep workshop. Just as a caveat, don't do this yourself, its a terrible idea, don't try this at home, your mileage my vary.
  2. As the title says I'm looking to make my own H2O2. It's expensive at least in the concentration I use (35%). Now before anyone says, yes, it can mess you up at that concentration. Always use the proper PPE. That said MIT has found an easy and portable way to make H2O2 using electricity (solar panels is what they used), water, and air. As I understand it they use the electricity to add an extra O2 molecule to the water to get the H2O2. The problem is I keep finding basically the same article but no blueprints. Anyone have access to that information or do I need to start learning hard core chemistry? The article https://news.mit.edu/2019/mit-process-could-make-hydrogen-peroxide-available-remote-places-1023

    Homemade display case

    I wanted to share with you all the display case I made for my dad as a Christmas gift. Over the last few years I've gifted him quite a few fossils, and he was in need of a decent place to display them. It is constructed almost entirely from materials salvaged from various demo projects around my house. The door, including latch and handle, were one of the original windows in the living room of my 100+ year old house. The rest of the wood came from some sub-flooring I replaced. The hinges are the only thing I bought. The thing that makes It especially cool is that my old house was my grandmother's home, and the house my old man grew up in. It doesn't really get much more ''homemade'' than that. It's a little rustic, but I'm pretty proud of how it turned out.
  4. I think it is worthwhile to fashion or acquire stands to enhance the presentation of material for display. Why spend time and effort on a piece to have it rest unceremoniously on a shelf or be stuck in a drawer? Place it in view, if possible, for all to enjoy! Here are photos and comments on the cobbling of two very simple stands to support Mammoth material recently received. The smaller tusk fragment is full round. The larger fragment, a half-round, is split on its long axis. The large piece was the subject of minor prep discussed in the Forum's "mailbox finds" topic. As in previous posts about stand making, I have utilized exotic hardwoods for a weighty base. The wood for the larger piece is a blank that was intended for bowl making, via turning. The smaller stand is made from scrap that was used as filler in shipment from the exotic wood merchant. Here is the wood blank. It is Bubinga, an African hardwood. It had previously been finished with hand rubbed shellac. snolly's arcane scribbles of higher math may be seen in the photos, reflecting his effort to calculate points to drill. For the large specimen, armatures were custom bent from 3/32 brass stock. A scrap of stiff electrical wire was used as a mock up to approximate the needed shapes. To perform the bending snolly employed a simple jig. To establish the needed semicircular arc a piece of high-tech custom equipment was employed. For the smaller piece, a purchased armature was bent to specification. While this was easy, the price (with shipping) will dissuade snolly from this path in the future. Here are the finished projects, artfully posing in Palatial snolly Manor. Here are a couple more views as the fossils await their final display positions among their peers. It is hoped this provides a clear view of the simple designs. Make some stands it's fun and I think it will enhance your displays and enjoyment.

    Trilobite Comura

    Always wanted a Comura but the prices are out of my budget so thought I'd try making one. Not as good as real but didn't have to sell my first born into slavery to make it. Its a Comura bultynici from the early Devonian.I added a photo of a real one. What a beauty would love to own one. . 800px-Comura_bultyncki,_Early_Devonian,_TazoulaOt_Formation,_Jbel_OufatEne,_MaOder_Region,_Morocco_-_Houston_Museum_of_Natural_Science_-_DSC01594.bmp
