The Right Side vs....
But you’ll have to have a good lathe. What constitutes a good lathe? Begin With the Base A good lathe must have a good foundation, and this begins with the bed of the lathe.

It is important to become familiar with the different types of chains as you consider which will best suit your design....
First-time modelers are often scared away from scratch-building. If you aren’t used to working with plastic, the idea of creating a model freehand, without the benefit of a kit can be intimidating.

Tools and Materials Needed Scratch-building doesn’t really require a lot of fancy tools, although there are many gadgets out there that can make the job easier....

How to Tell If Your Doll Is Vintage Barbie dolls, especially vintage ones, are often identified by the marks on the doll’s behind or torso. These markings often include a date. The stamped date is actually the copyright date of a particular kind of doll body. The most common markings on Barbie dolls include “©1966”, “Mattel, Inc.” and the name of the country where the doll was made. The confusion comes when people see this information and think they’ve found a vintage Barbie doll....

If you want to wear a zodiac birthstone, choose a stone under your sign that resonates with you and that you connect with in some way....
