A scanner would be your best bet.
But you could go wild and ditch the photo idea.
The original piece was modeled in CAD. Simply follow the logical path for how it was originally done.
Measure the outermost dimensions and draw a rectangle as construction geometry. Then play around drawing a couple of circles - chances are that the top and bottom curves are circles and are trimmed and joined with eachother with say blend curve to preserve tangency.
Also measure the distance of the holes to the rest of the geometry. How far are they from the top and sides. You could measure their distance to eachother crosswise too to narrow down the measurement error.
The geometry is built around simple measurements, if you can work out the sketch tools and constraints, you can probably match the original with high precision.
Detergents are basic because that works wonders on greasy stuff. When oil polymerises it won't be susceptible to basic substances anymore but will react to acids. (Unlike acid and oils which don't really react with each other – think vinaigrette separating in the fridge.)
Washing a cast iron pan with detergent will clean it from unpolymerised oil.
Cooking e.g. tomato based sauces in your cast iron pan will strip it of the polymerised coating (might impart flavour too).
Cleaning kitchen tiles near your stove is sometimes easier with acidic cleaning solutions as well. Just be careful with the caulking which will brittle over time from using acids.
Thank you, I'll have to check it out!
I'd be interested to hear which book this was!
I'd love to build a picture frame that shows the path, current location and latest photo taken by Perseverance...
A vote for the B&W if the polls are still open! 🦉
What do you like/dislike about your Suunto or about Coros? I've never really tried other watches than Garmin...
I'd be intereseted to hear your opinion on Coros vs Garmin if you have one!
Does Coros offer something similar to Garmin's Daily Suggested Workout?
I noticed the app I'm using is actually called Polar Beat not Flow.
Maybe using Beat is required for the pairing - I don't know much about Polar's software as I only use the app to check the battery level. (It also allows you to turn visibility on or off among other things)
For me the connection goes as follows:
I hope this helps!
About the other stuff you mentioned.
A quick duckduckgo revealed that Pandora doesn't support Garmin devices I'm afraid. Supported music providers are Amazon, Youtube, Spotify and Deezer. This depends on your locale and device though.
When it comes to swimming, most devices struggle a bit with data. Accurately measuring distance for instance. IIRC Apple does quite a good job followed by higher end Garmins. Swimming does require a chest strap in order to get reliable HR, even more so, than running. Although I haven't read reviews of the newest generation on watches, maybe it's getting better. I only do a little swimming every now and then so I can't go into details.
A feature I didn't know I was going to like as much as I did, is Daily Suggested Workouts. During off-season it gives me incentive to go running every day without having to think about what to do and when.
About health data in general, it's good to remember it's quite inaccurate and even when it's accurate it's not necessarily simple to draw any useful conclusions from it. Sleep tracking for instance is very very inaccurate, especially when it come to sleep phases. HRV, PulseOx etc. is mostly pretty useless too but there are differing opinions too.
You could go with a newer, lower end Garmin model, say a Forerunner 255 or the newer 265 or then look into buying a used forerunner 965 or 955 or a fenix 6. Whatever fits your budget.
When reading up on the specs and features, make sure to watch some videos on the specific implementations of the features you're interested in. My Fenix 6 for instance is limited to only giving me my Daily Suggested Workout while newer models can display suggested workouts for the whole week ahead, something I'm a bit salty about. These small differences are rarely highlighted which can be annoying.
I tend to over reasearch stuff even when I only need something basic to be happy with. That being said I found this guys videos quite helpful:
Curious! I have the Polar H10 and can connect it to my iPhone.
Have you tried connecting the H9 strap with the Polar Flow app? IIRC it needs the app to connect.
The fenix and forerunner series are arguably the best for running. As I've only used Garmin, I can't speak to other manufacturers' products.
All watches from these series should work with your strap.
Other things that might influence your choice are watch size and weight, spotify integration, amoled vs MIP screen and whether you do any swimming, hiking or other activities.
I'm always looking for the smallest linewidth and the hit-tec-c .25 has been my favourite so far. The Jetstream is new to me as is the Kleid notebook - looking foward to trying them out!
How about you? Any favourite super fine lined writing instruments you like to use?
Well done! Mine's been waiting a couple of years for installation.
