It’s been a long while since I, or anyone has added anything to the site. I thought I’d have all this extra time to dig into content creation. I did organize and centralize all my content, like everything that I’ve shot over the past 10+ years, but it’s been hard to write about it. Here’s a piece I did for the Crocker Art Museum (With COVID-19 museums are now professional content creators). They decided against my intro/outro and sound effects. I’ve left em in for you. I had MuseumTrade in mind when planting one question in the video: “What step do we miss toward the end of the video?” Surely one of you will catch it. Leave it in the comments below. I hope you get to open crates again soon….

Have you ever had a painting where the space between the painting and its crate or travel frame was so tight that you had to use either your middle and first fingers or god forbid needle nose pliers to get the wing nuts off the OZ Clips? Yep, it’s happened to us more than once. We made this handy tool to get the job done.  It’s made of PVC so as to be as neutral and forgiving to the painting as possible. Version 1.0 was made of wood.  While the wood is heartier the PVC will be more gentle if it happens to come in contact with the painting. You’ll notice that the slot for the wing nut is getting a little chewed up, we’ll see how many years it lasts. Version 3.0 might use a PH neutral buffer instead of the gaffers tape we are using here, any suggestions?  Perhaps nothing would actually be better. I think the pictures tell the story.  Enjoy.
