Taking advantage of the great weather today to get some more plates prepared for the spring season. The rolled steel has been cut to size and now begins the process of cleaning and polishing them. After this, they will be ready to receive two coats of black Japan.
Then they will be ready to make your authentic 19th century quarter plate or half plate tintypes! All together, it takes a lot of time and effort for a plate to go from the raw steel to a beautiful portrait. Our tintypes and Ambrotypes are reasonably priced and authentically made. Hope to see you out this summer!
