Oh... just to add to the few things I hate...

I hate when I take a sip of coffee and somehow the brim of the cup either got shorter or it "ducked" my lips.

And it always seems to happen when I am wearing a light colored or white shirt.

:P

You guys ever heard of foe paint ? It's a technique where you mimick something natural and random with your painting skills. Usually I'm painting fake wood grain on boats......stuff like painting a boat transom to look like teak. Now I'm doing a bronze patina on aluminum gates. I'm matching the origanal artists work and it's been a challenge !! If you have a iron screen frame, fastened with stainless hardware to an aluminum door you get corrosion on an explosive level. This door was ate up, and it took me a week to patch it all up and redcoat the repairs in flat black. Now I'm about 80 percent done with the matching and blending of the patina look. I can only paint like this for 4 hours at a time before im cross eyed and have a headache.
Almost done......wooo hoo !! 20181217_131625.jpg 20181217_131608.jpg

Bart, seen lots of this inn Europe at Antique shops and markets being passed off as authentic.

The canons I got for my birthday inn Italy are done this way, nothinng special, just cast metal newly produced. I think mine ran around 500 each, delivery cost most and they came from the store like 3 miles away.

Seen the same ones for sale inn Germany as authentic for 17K each. Showed the fella and many others it was cast aluminium, and being an Ottomann educated scholar I could say for fact that the Ottomans did not take over everything with aluminium canons. I said I did not know much about canons other than I have the same set I got inn Italy but I would guess that anyone using them 200 years ago had ones made of a strong metal.

Fella had gates like what you show there, not exactly but same paint concept. He had lots of stuff, pretty sure he purchased all that from the store factory down the street from our house in Italy.

I like the fake more, worked hard for what I have, I only need it to last my life time, not 20 more. LOL

My wife just said reasons such as this is why slavery should be legal.

What can I say, she is black and from Africa, not a big fan on wasting freedom.
