Pretty simple you cut a bunch of copper wires for your trunk and branches which are one piece, here you have 120 pieces of 22 gauge copper wire that measure about 9 or 10 inches each, you simply twist them together to make a tree shape trunk first than you divide for branches.

The pink part I wrap that around a chainsaw grinder I put in my cordless drill so it makes plenty of little springs I than attach to the branches.

When I get really bored I open paint on the computer and play around making optical illusions… stare at the center and count the seconds… how long does it take to start moving for you…?

Ive finally got around to doing my family tree on Ancestry. So far I’ve got back to 1755 on my grandads side and I’ve found 100s of family members over in the states.

Apparently my great great grandad was a bit of a charmer over there :wink::joy:

Idk about “pretty common.”

Royalty, and very specific sects that were forbidden to marry outside the group is where it was most common. Maybe you’re a king @eaglereptiles

Or just an Anabaptist. Lol.

:joy: I’m hoping so, though I feel like I need to state that I don’t come from a long line of inbreds :joy: it’s just difficult to guarantee maiden names so far back so I fill it in as Eagle until I can.

I’ve managed to pull up pictures of my Great grandmother at her wedding in 1920 (100 years ago) that noone alive in my family had seen before.

And found that my great grandfather on my mum’s side was the Lord Mayor of Manchester in 1943, which is cool.

Studio in a box… plain white poster board wraps from bottom to back, silver poster board on the sides and top to reflect light, a pair of 5500k led lights for $15 on amazon, and a box that would’ve otherwise been garbage from a feeder order. A few cuts, a little tape, and you’ve got a photo box for small products or animals where you can change the color of the back drop for the cost of a piece of poster board. Need more light or a bigger space get a bigger light and/or box. Photos taken with Samsung s9



I’ll get some snake shots in it tomorrow but wanted to share it now lol
