How was the lamp effect "like a star" done was it a filter on the camera or some magical Computerised thing

Love the atmosphere! All the machines are looking great, but the little hacksaw is an eye catcher.
By the way. Who's cleaning that floor? I'd like to hire him/her/it in a politically correct manner!
The big lath tailstock seems to tend to bend the truth, a wide spread bad habit currently.
I'll make it. If I have to fly the five feet like a birdie.
I'll fly it. I'll make it.

Thank you gentlemen (except Unc the scallawag) for the kind words.
I finished the first machine February 25th 2012.
This has been a dream fora long time.
Unc, pictures were shot with a iPhone 12.
No filters or software.
Barney the star like was just a dirty lens. Probably sawdust!

I'm glad y'all like the shop.

Everything looks fantastic!  I especially appreciate the concrete pad under the horizontal mill - this is an often overlooked detail under the larger machines. 

I agree that the floor is too clean. I've got cutting oil stains and the occasional swarf on the floor under my lathe, and it's only a jeweler's lathe!!

But really nice work!

I shall go stand in the corner. My current iPhone won't take photos like that without 3rd party software. -- Russ

Wonderful. Like drinking in a breath of fresh air to see such exquisite workmanship and attention to detail.  Gotta love it!
