    Charles-François GALAND ( 1832-1900) was a French inventor who was based in Belgium in Liège.. The three main calibers used with his revolver was 9mm, 11mm and 12mm. This model is the one invented in 1868. It was adopted by the Russian Navy in 1871 and was also manufactured by Nangant. Bravo for your channel that i discovered from France.

    The grey is working great for me. Details of the gun parts jumps out better. The real test will be on stuff that has darker bluing. It doesn't need to be grey either. A light green, tan or any light color would work too.
    When you get something this rare a few seconds doing a close up to appreciate the gun from each side would be a nice touch. No big spotlight scene or anything like that. Just a nice close in pan around then flip it over and do the same again. Like 4 or 5 seconds per side or so.
    Always a pleasure seeing you at work. Cheers and stay healthy!

    The grey (or light blue) background is the best. In photography we use an 18% grey card to do the exposure settings. White or black will ruin the exposures and/or make edges disappear into the background. Keep using grey. Thanks!! It's much better.

    • @videodistro
      @videodistro 3 года назад +1

      And technically a slightly darker grey would be best. See if you can find an actual 18% card to compare it too.

    • @videodistro
      @videodistro 3 года назад +1

      BTW, I think I was one of the guys who got Ian (Forgotten Weapons) to stop using black and go with grey (or light blue or maroon if he doesn't have his grey). I suggested he travel with a grey sheet. Light and easy to carry. He's still using and it really helps.

    Re: your point about getting burned. I am a professional metallurgist and we teach this in foundry too. First (generally for big castings) we say to spit on it and see if it boils (generally not a problem with gun parts). Then test with the back of your hand. If you do get burned you will instinctively close your hand, thus if you use the back you will no grasp something that's stupid hot.

    Whenever I had to machine thin sections of metal I would back the opposite side with Cerrosafe metal which, would provide support for machining. After the machining was done the Cerrosafe was melted out and away from the opposite side of the machined area leaving a very thin section of metal that was part of a larger size of machined part. The Luger grip safety from 1900 could have been done by this method.
