Cheers for the kind words, yup super glue, I get it from Axminster tools, they do a thick, medium and a thin, I use the thin stuff, water like quality so has a capillary action with the cracks. Quick spray with accelerator and it goes off almost instantly. Zoic paleo tools also sell it too, I think they are a little bit better on price

Yeah man I gotta work on that :) sorry

Surprising I’ve only done it a few times, I think the worst I’ve had was stiches from hitting a small rock while holding it, spun around and sliced my hand.

No worries at all :)

Got the electrician coming Thursday to plumb in the compressor, few days to set up the kit and another cabinet to make for my new iron powder abrasive machine and I’ll be in there most days cleaning stuff to go straight in the shop. It’ll be nice to get back making content in the new space.

Cheers for the kind words! Yeah love a bit of Jonny Flynn :) I'll have the shop open soon, hopefully by the end of next week, next time you are down pop in and say hello and check it out.

I sure will thats great,im keen to meet as many knowledgeable people as i can and then pass it on. The fossil collecting community is one of the most helpful and friendly group of people ive met. Share the knowledge.

That is awesome! My girls would rather be in TKMax than down the beach with me at the moment! Ukfossils.co.uk is a good site for finding places to go discoveringfossils.co.uk is another resource you could use to find some interesting places to go.

Ahh cheers for that :) I’ve built a new cabinet now! Ready for the new workshop , got a little update coming this week

Got some coming really soon, just working on the new shop and workshop

@@TheFossilAcademy Looking forward to it 👍👍

In the shop open yet?

@@markstevens8293 next few weeks! Just picked up my new abrasive machine from Zoic today! Workshop almost there now will be filming an update on Thursday to go out this weekend

Illustrator on the pc, then project it into the wall where I want it, pencil the outline, then paint :) easy peasy cheat mode!

@@TheFossilAcademyNeat idea, Happy prepping :)

The workshop for the courses will be open for Easter, the small attached shop will open next week, I’ll be around most of the week building benches and cabinets in the workshop

It’s a cast! If you want one Craig Chivers makes and sells them, really good museum quality casts from real fossils. Think his website is natural selections

Thank you for the kind words, going to get better this year and post up more content. Going to try and keep it fresh

Sorry for the late reply! It’s a marine reptile, an ichthyosaur from Lyme Regis, this one is a cast from a real fossil, was broken at work so I rescued it and stuck it back together, still need to finish it off and touch it in.

@@TheFossilAcademy thank you for responding. I'd love to find something like that one day. My area is mostly Cretatious, I think. Trilobites, horncorals, bivalves, etc. Missori,USA

Thank you! Cheers!

Much appreciated, sorry for the late response! Been really busy getting the new workshop and shop finished, some videos to come on that soon

Evening! I’ve not actually got a machine that will take iron powder yet, hopefully getting one built pretty soon. The Comco blaster I use has a dial on it for pressure, I tend to use it full whack most of the time but dial it down a bit when I’m getting onto delicate middles on ammonites and the like. I’ll change the tips too when doing detail work. The pressure going into the machine is 110psi, not too sure what it is after turning it down on the machine, it just reads slow to fast on the dial :) the powder I use in it is dolomite, not as aggressive as aluminium oxide. The iron powder works best with certain rocks, especially good with the green ammonite nodules from Stonebarrow. I think just using it you’ll soon be able to work out when you have to dial it down and when you can turn it up to eleven. Hope this helps. D

@@TheFossilAcademy Thanks so much! That really helps.

It’s on Churchstreet through the archway next to the arts Cafe in the old courthouse building, it’s a work in progress!

Really got into listening to him this past year, Johnny and Greta Van Fleet
