A superb lesson with exceptional illustrations.Thank you very much.Mickey Oberman

Get a CAT.

Will lemon or orange juice work?

I pour a capful into my vacuum cleaner (Non water) or onto its dust bag.It is an excellent air freshener.

Does a Microwave not require a minimum space between the top, back and sides?Your terrific project is just what I need but I do want to be safe.Thank, you. Mickey

Thank you.But I am new to oil pastels.This tells me almost nothing.

A very Beautiful Channukia.Thank you.

I have been shaving every day for about 70 years.I would suggest that the lather should be opaque when you apply it to your face. Not thickly but your skin should not be visible through it. Otherwise it may dry before you have finished a pass.The individual bubbles should not be visible. If they are, your lather is too wet. It should be a smooth, even, white like meringue or whipped cream.You will have to apply your razor at the optimum angle to your face - approximately 30 degrees. but it will vary. Put the razor against your face with the handle sticking out at 90 degrees. Slowly lower it until you feel the blade just touching your skin. Shave away using little or no pressure.!Count on three passes for the best shave,1. With the grain (direction of growth) of your beard. Usually down th…

Against the grain usually up the face.And then a little touch up determined by feel. This can be done with only water and the slickness the lather deposited on your skin.Enjoy. It is a very pleasurable and relaxing way to start your day.Mickey

Great design and wonderfully clear instructions.Thank you.Mickey

My kind of project.Easy, inexpensive, practical and beautiful.Thank you.Mickey

Brilliant!Thank you.

Thank you.I am going to nominate you fpr the Nobel Prize.

Thank you, balsuryana.I think even I, the world's worst gardener, can grow mint with your excellent instructions.Mickey

I am sorry but the background music overwhelms the voice of the narrator in what must be a very interesting and useful instructable.

Some velvet fabrics will reflect light.romeug's suggestion of felt is excellent.

I am not familiar with this phenomenon nor with "edge bleed". From reading the responses in this thread it seems that too much brightness is causing the problem.Would a neutral density filter(s) be of any use to you?Mickey

I have been taking pictures for 72 years. I have never had a problem finding suitable, cheap, matte black backgrounds.Your arts and crafts store or stationary store is a good place to look.So is a fabric store. But beware, some fabrics can have a shine that will appear in your photo. A polarizing filter might correct that. And don't forget your clothes closet.A small can of black matte paint can render many objects acceptably black.By adjusting your exposure by making it as short as possible but still properly exposing your subject you should get a proper black field. You might also try that old film users' trick....Over expose. Proper exposure. Under expose. Since you are not burning expensive film it may be worth a try.Make sure your camera reads the exposure directly from the subject.…

Many thanks.I have wooden utensils and a couple of antique wooden bowls.Your instructions will make them very happy.Me too.

Wonderfully comprehensive instructions.Thank you.Mickey

Thank you, Conrad.That is the best demonstration I have seen.

Thank you, everyone.Mickey

This is a great idea but are you sure the magnet will not cause any problems with the delicate electronic devices within today's digital cameras?If all is safe I am going ahead with one.Thank you,Mickey

It is very attractive and practical. Well done, indeed.I had the same problem with my deck facing west the evening sun made it unbearable.I opted for two retractable sunscreens to shade the western view. as the sun is low enough in the evening that I needed no top screening.
