Thank you Jersey Girl for your compliments and vote of confidence in my ability to produce. I'm not sure how much I plan to contribute to the cause in writing more material for public consumption seeing I've already wasted so much of my life on the Book of Abraham -- so to speak. Actually, it's not a waste of time but I was simply on the wrong side if you know what I mean.

I really want to see how far this jackal snout can go and see how things play out. It isn't going to go well for the church and apologists will scramble trying to come up with some kind of consensus. One thing is for sure, the church leaders won't take a stand on anything. They are cowards and are scared to death of the Book of Abraham. They are at an utter loss and refuse to say anything about it. It's always been that way.

Philo Sofee inspired me with a winning concept which is to just keep quoting Joseph Smith. Quote him and what those with him believed. That's all that really matters. Saints today have NO say. They weren't there and can't speak for Joseph Smith and their apologetic twisting and distortions have no relevance. Mormons today are not the Mormons of yesterday and they don't represent what Joseph Smith actually said. They are left to decide whether to take his words at face value or continue to dance around them while they sing their song.

***ATTENTION***

I HAVE JUST MADE A MAJOR DISCOVERY AND HAVE COME TO A REALIZATION IN WHICH CORRECTS A MAJOR MISNOMER ABOUT THE PRODUCTION OF THE FACSIMILES!

I'M SITTING HERE TOTALLY SHOCKED AND NOW THIS REQUIRES A WHOLE NEW APPROACH! THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN MY DISCOVERY OF THE JACKAL SNOUT ARE GOING TO SEE THINGS IN A NEW LIGHT.

HELP!

I WILL ANNOUNCE MY PERSONAL DISCOVERY SHORTLY!

I've been studying the plates to make the Facsimiles and have realized that the medium used to create the plates is NOT wood! Wood is a misnomer! The medium in which Reuben Hedlock actually carved the plates is a type of clay lead that was hardened and made suitable for the press. I realized this by scanning close images of all three plates and you can see that the clay lead is actually fastened to woodwork via screws but the once friable medium in which the work was carved was clay lead. Also, I was able to determine that Hedlock used gridlines (see upper corner of Facsimile No. 2 plate) in which to establish his perimeters and size.

Hence, the clay lead was molded and swiped with fine tools to create the images and writing of the Facsimiles. I'm more than ever convinced that the snout was first carved in clay and later chiseled out. Signs of this are right there in CLAY LEAD!

Look out LDS apologists! Your ass is grass!

Here's a close up view of the hypocephalus. You can see the excess medium around the border of the plate. Image is too large to post here.

I am be no means knowledgeable in antiquated printing methods, but, a cursory googling of "19th century clay-cuts for printing" doesn't return much.

Now, I am no big fan of end-zone chicken dance celebrations, but will make exceptions. I kinda think you're a little premature, and need some more research. When you do pin this down though, count me in on your skit. (end-zone dance skits are the craze right now in the NFL) Get it done Shu, I'm rooting for you!

Check into zinc, Paul.

Intaglio[edit]



Main article: Intaglio (printmaking)
Intaglio /ɪnˈtæli.oʊ/ is a family of printmaking techniques in which the image is incised into a surface, known as the matrix or plate. Normally, copper or zinc plates are used as a surface, and the incisions are created by etching, engraving, drypoint, aquatint or mezzotint. Collographs may also be printed as intaglio plates. To print an intaglio plate the surface is covered in thick ink and then rubbed with tarlatan cloth to remove most of the excess. The final smooth wipe is usually done by hand, sometimes with the aid of newspaper or old public phone book pages, leaving ink only in the incisions. A damp piece of paper is placed on top and the plate and paper are run through a printing press that, through pressure, transfers the ink from the recesses of the plate to the paper.
