    Originally the velvet in hard image cases was debossed by heating a metal engraved design (like the sort of tools used to deboss designs in leather bookbinding) that has a thin layer of wax on it. The heated die gives a much better impression and the wax gives great detail to it.

    My grandmother was divorced from my grandfather who left my grandma and mother when my mom was 2. But, later, he kept sending his picture to my grandma. Of course, she burned them. So.. he sent her one on tin. It had a case just like the one you showed.
    Just thought that l'd share some of our dysfunctional familys past.
    LOL 🙋‍♀️
    It turned out really nice. Good jobby job!

    This is super cool! I purchased from an Estate Sale Daguerreotypes, Ambrotypes and tintypes in Union Cases with the majority in pristine condition! I have been selling them in my Etsy Shop! I am keeping the damaged ones to repair and use in journals! This process video will help me repair them and create cases for the tintypes I have without cases!

  • @Mpompadour
    @Mpompadour Před 2 lety

    WOW, such a beautiful job! I've always loved these Daguerreotype cases and photographs. During the video when you were putting the oval over the photo and you used the strips around the oval insert, the originals sometimes had a gold metal border. As I was sitting here watching, I was thinking, now where could I get some very narrow gold embossed metal strips. Then I had a "light bulb" moment and thought, now where have I seen something similar. Then it hit me. You know in the wedding section of most hobby-craft stores, you can buy a bag of the gold wedding ring favors. They have the same looking embossed texture, width and color of the strips on the original daguerreotypes. So I went to my stash and found mine and as you were talking, I gently straightened out one of the wedding ring favors and OMG, they would work perfectly! It takes a few minutes and you'd have to use a few, they can easily be cut to size with nippers and smoothed out on the ends where they are cut, but I think that would make your project even more authentic looking. But I have to say, you REALLY nailed the look with yours. Just BEAUTIFUL! Thanks so much for sharing with us!

    We have the annoying cars that race past where the boy racer is trying to prove how manly he is. In a video a while back you apologised for an obnoxious truck. Now when a car goes past and it’s super noisy I call them obnoxious. Fits perfectly 🤓

    Firstly, you are very funny and you make me laugh 🤣🤣🤣.
    Secondly, I have been wanting to make one of these but did not know what they were called (I kept typing 'Double Photo Frame Case' and nothing was coming up. I don't have the same supplies as you and will try using other materials, but I will use the same method.
    BRAD/Z: In the UK we call those 'Split Pins' or 'Paper Fasteners'.
    GLASS: Could be replaced with acetate.
    A brilliant project and your instructions have made it so easy to do. Thank you.

But your case of teeny little pieces joined together so beautifully, with the embossed fabric and trim suitable for a beloved daguerreotype, is awesome, truly magnificent. I bow to you.
