inA visit to the old hardware store in Charleston showed me how much has changed
Seriously though, is it that big a deal if some old products fade out?

inMy total rookie mistake with a pottery shard in the field
Tbh I get why you'd say that, but I had a piece break off my own find last year. I used a tiny bit of museum wax just to hold it together for photos. It peels right off without leaving any residue, so the context stays clean. Let me find the stuff I used, it was a game changer for keeping things stable until I could get it to someone who knows what they're doing.

inShoutout to the old hand who showed me his paper template trick
My buddy's dad was a civil engineer who retired last year. He had this whole drawer of gridded paper pads from the 80s, each sheet pre-stamped with his company's old logo in faded blue ink. Watched him sketch out a drainage fix for his neighbor's yard on one, talking about how the pencil let him think slower. Said the CAD guys at his firm always rushed to the screen and missed the simple stuff. Made my friend completely rethink how he starts his own design work now.
