A History of Mining on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska - Grab it through Amazon!

After a huge excavation we had over many years on a 10.000 square meter areal, there was build a new building with an underground parking lot. Intact walls and interesting archeological profiles wanted to be visible.
Unfortunately ground water started to destroy the original profiles with all the nice layers of soil from different ages. So we made photogrammetric pics and reconstructed this profiles out of the original stones and soil from this layers.

Tom, your work is phenomenal! Do you need an apprentice? Just kidding, but, I wish! I do hope you have someone to pass your skills to.

Sis, you would be more as welcome as apprentice!!

Unfortunately there is no one to pass the skills to. My kids are totally interested in other stuff...

But since some years my best Buddy for the last 30 years gets more and more interested in history and he helps sometimes. He is quite good too! He has the skills and it just need to show something one time and he just do it perfect.

CATASTROPHE !!

Look what´s happen after one more night in Acetone. Fallen complete apart...

Most of this parts was fixed with glue and some other fragments cracked new because the salt.

Anyway, now I can clean the cracks with air abrasion from salt and Akaganeit and clean it from in- and outside until small areas of metal appears to put all pieces together in a steel net and in electrolysis.

Before this happen I let them for a while in alkaline solution. This makes it easier to wash out all bad stuff in electrolysis.

On the second pic you can see what nice surface it well get later. The alkaline solution made it possible to scratch this area clean just with a scalpel.

You can see on the thickness of some parts that there is a layer of rust mixed with gun powder which is up to half an inch thick. All this stuff must be cleaned away for doing a proper electrolysis.

This MESS is almost finished! Wife just makes some retouches in this moment. Pics of the result will follow!!

Thank you Buddy!

Unfortunately I will not work much longer because "carola" killed my business and I have to give up the business in the next weeks...

 

[Tom_Restorer]

OK, here is the finished shipwreck grenade from the Princess Maria



I observed the piece now in unpreserved condition for 2 years and it is absolutely stable. All salts etc. was washed out completely and it will stay in this condition. Ready to go in a collection!

TR, your work is spectacular
pardon the intrusion, but has Corona inhibited your clients?
there is a world of artifacts needing restoration, is it the price?
difficult to see

Thank you Bill!
I work mostly for Archeologists and Museums and the money for it came from 3rd parties who sponsor it. This 3rd parties has no longer money to spent because their business etc. is going down as well!

..and all only because a FAKE PLANdemic

 

[BillA]

well now I'm curious, a ballpark price on the grenade restoration?

about your plandemic, it does seem to be effective at culling old/weakened people, so who has the motivation?
pension systems clearly, but look at the medical costs - apart from the stupid restrictions
so who benefits?

 

[WannaDig3687]

Tom,
You do magnificent work! I am so sorry to hear you are losing your business! Stay safe, my friend. I hope things turn around for you soon!

The price for this grenade who was complete in pieces, wrong restored and preserved before (see pages 6 and 7) would be 300 Euros.

On the question who benefits: Do a research on World Economic Forum and the "great reset"! May we can talk about in the politics section

Thank you so much Sis!!

I don´t see any light at the end of the tunnel right now. Things getting worse and worse here and to be honest, I don´t care any more.
