Making a woody scraper plane

[Racers]

Hi, Mike

The cat has its own drain holes :shock: it was the cat flap that needed some :wink:

I made a bigger scraper plane so I knocked up a little one for fun

Dave Allen the wide mouthed frog joke, classic!

Pete - A tip from Robert Wearing.

When taking photos for reference (not art!), it helps to be a good distance away, and use a lens of around 90-110 mm.

Whilst most modern cameras can take photos from very close, working close gives highly distorted perspective, which not only looks a little odd (although possibly interesting - see "art" above ), but also makes taking measurements from the photo (photogrammetry) a much more complex task.

Hi, BB

So my sigma 50mm micro (80mm on my D80) ain't good enough :wink:

This shot:

despite appearing to be a close up, was taken with a (35mm equivalent length) 135mm lens, f8, 8/10th sec, iso 80.

Ok BB, I'll take the bait...

What is that intriguing little bit of steel in your (nicely focussed) picture?
Do we all need one?

Hi, BB

I re-took that under side pic, better? :wink:

or worse :lol:

Bounce flash off the ceiling and newspaper reflectors to light the bottom, I still didn't get rid of the shadow caused by the lens being about 100mm away.

better composition but the lighting is wrong, you need to position the lights so you don't get so much shadowing.
