Well, even though it arrived weeks ago, I'm finally starting officially work on the Seneca View 8x10:  First up: Regrinding the glass. As usual, I'm blogging the whole thing. Take a look if you're interested. Scott |

Wonderful, going to take a look at the blog =) My guess is it's as good as always, so I'm gonna say it before taking a look. Good work !  |

You should be as I find that when I look at these post I am also. But then again when I start my walk around North America I can't take a Mule with me so I will need something Smaller.

Scott, the frosted spray is a good "in a pinch" solution to a broken GG miles from home (or hundreds of miles), it's happened to me once, and while not perfect, saved a full day trip for me.
What is your grit sequence when you grind your glass? I'm interested as I will shortly have to make a few larger ones (16x20, 20x24 and 12x20)

Yeah, frosting is fine for a quick-and-dirty screen, but obviously not one for a restoration. Grinding's satisfying, anyway. I use 500 grit silicon carbide. That's it. Gives me a screen at least as good as the old Satin Snows...

Scott, I did a glass for a 4X5 a years back. I was lazy, I went to a glass shop down the street with a pattern. They sand blasted & cut to fit one for about 10 bucks.
The thing is, you will have a satisfaction that I will never see.
You do beautiful work.

Well, after much hemming and hawing, I proceeded to grind the peened ends and washers off the side rivets. Always makes me nervous, that part. But they came off fine. Next step is to cut off the shaft of the rivet down to the finish head, buy some 6-32 brass bolts, and get to tapping. Strip and polish the hardware from the rear standard, refinish the standard itself, then put it all together. And the rear truck assembly polish and finishing. Photos/blogging will come a little later.
