I think we're on the same page

or in the same saddle? we'll have to see if i have a "good eye" or not, but i have the arsenal of paints. the chair is just one of a set and the biggy for the owner is just to get this one back in sittable service.

as to the C-clamps, all that paint pretty well covers the half-assed grinding of the seams left after casting and even slowing a steed to a walk, they're tough to see. then there is the fact that the screws on all of them don't quite center their swivels on their base-pads. i didn't have any yellow glue so used white, and as the weather has turned cool & rainy today i plan on leaving the clamps on another full day. ah well; gotta just make do with what one has.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
