W. Watson Studio camera repairs

New video out.
An episode where the main focus is sorting out the Watson plate holder in the Big studio camera from @jo_gane1

A few things, wrong with it. One of them I forgot to capture 🙈 (not easy to film every last detail)

That was the fabric joint had come loose from one of the pieces of Mahogany. I had to pull the fabric back and key up the wood and the fabric, before gluing them back together. It was a bit fiddly but it worked out really well.

Then there was the overall state. The Silver Nitrate had soaked through the finish, the door or lid was catching and stuck. In turn that put pressure on the small piece of leather, so that had come loose and been moved around a few times.

And there were other smaller things to fix.

I hope you like, share and enjoy the video. here is the video

Let me know in the comments.

Have a wonderful day ❤️
