Here is my 105th attempt just using south light filtered through a white sheet. Small town Georgia has no place to find "stuff" to make a light box. But Savannah will next weekend. I will try again then.
Thanks for all the advice everyone gave me. I know I will be in excellent hands when the best knife photographer on 2 continents calls me the end of this week. (I know you are best Terrill, just look at John's website.)
I hope the link below works so ya'll can see what your advice rendered.
