SPN Prop FAIL - Calipers

Ok, I gotta talk about this because it is making me crazy, and it is not the first time I’ve seen these stupid calipers and thought this.

In reference to this post involving @chiisana-sukima @rosewhipped22  screencap below stolen from @rosewhipped22)

Those heart-shaped calipers? They have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with NAVIGATION and should not even BE on a map table. They are for measuring the external size of objects.  The long straight ones, YES, are used for marking out locations (called divider calipers or what we think of as a compass) and have a long history of being used with maps.

Those other calipers are a total prop fail by someone at SPN. Or, as is pointed out by @chiisana-sukima, are there for only to make a point via subtext - because they sure as hell aren’t using them with that map (or those books and papers).

More about calipers than you  wanted to know.

I might have invented a new territory in Australia (because I think it’s bigger than it should be. I’m gonna name that piece of land “Nahiland”).

Maps of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Buffalo, and Long Island covered with clear resin and varnish. Framed with walnut, maple, oak, poplar, and teak. Thanks to Ouigi and The Brooklyn Circus for pointing out and providing the maps and Pete Raho for the wood. 48x20x14.

Made-In-Chinatown is working on some legs for this coffee table. And then we will be trying to sell it for millions. Many many hours went into this as I had to learn some new techniques and work with new materials. Resined maps - the clear epoxy needed to be sanded flat and then varnished. I will attempt to never repeat this process again in my life. And high quality hardwood requires a lot more precision than beat up, reclaimed wood, so eliminating even the smallest cracks was imperative. A router came in handy. Table has teak, maple, walnut, oak, and poplar in it. All saved from a certain date with the landfill. 48x20x1.5. $1800.
