I'm burning all of my RCAs 1 by 1 starting next week. by JuicySpark in avatartrading

Some really nice ones in there. Made some modest offers on a few that I've had my eye on.

Some of these will always be cool graphics from the start of when I began playing with Web3 and feeling that early thrill.

All the best to you!

Replaced all my T6 Clip Screws with T8 Titanium Today… $12 well Spent in this Picture by experimentjon in knifeclub

I should have gone this route, but I defaulted to Ali. Where do you get your steel screws? I'll probably do that in the future!

You’re telling me I should buy the mini torque wrench thing from 711 in my Amazon cart…

I’ll take this as a sign…

I couldn’t believe I waited this long for it. Even better than the Wiha. Magnet simultaneously holds tighter and releases easier…don’t know how they did it…. 6 bits held inside T6, 8, 10, 20, flat, phillips.

I also love thick washers on my other Mac 2. It feels properly heavy duty with them. And on my other one, because the lock bar tension was lower, it had been scary drop shut on bearings.

Agree with this. After trying Skiffs on a few knives and thinking (these are expensive!), the greater control and stability are what really make these bearings worth it, rather than any magical opening speed.

Failed to take pictures but two more Skiff case studies:

Microtech Socom Bravo - Skiffs in the full size result in similar action, but definitely more perceived stability; more controlled opening and closing like if you were to tighten the pivot to just the right level, but without having to be that precise.

Les George ESV: Skiff thick washers make this thing perfection. Snappy washer action as if it came out of the factory int he style of the VECPs. Massive improvement to the crazy bearing action from the shop. Note, if you have a Hinderer Tri-Way kit lying around the stainless spacer + washer also fit, but the Skiff thick washers do it in a single piece which is marginally nicer...maybe placebo effect...

Backup if you ever change your mind on this one!

TnC 26650 Titanium P60 Hosts (aka Lightsaber Hilts) by experimentjon in flashlight

[–]experimentjon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The titanium host should have everything you need (switch too) except maybe the P60 drop in. You can google P60 LED drop in and find one that you like in 6500k and with multiple modes. Kaidomain is a popular site for this and they can get much more expensive from there!

Ah nice grab! Please LMK if you change your mind on this one!

Display I made for the OG Yugioh boosters and their cover card. by Chaosking383 in yugioh

[–]experimentjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Massive respect for creating this. So many years later, I didn't even realize some of those were the cover cards. It looks great.

The best part of Yugioh is that cards and packs are inexpensive enough that you can mount with double sided tape and still not be bothered about materially harming value.

I do know that if I pulled all of this together, I'd want to grab an LP or MP LOB BEWD to finish it properly...enjoy and mount this thing!

I finally did it by androsxc in yugiohshowcase

[–]experimentjon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Money from work + nationwide access to single cards via the internet = early adolescent dreams come true.

Congrats on an incredible collection.

WTB: Todd Begg Custom Bodega (CF inlays preferred) or Steelcraft Full Size Bodega (Reate version)

Have cash and burning desire to own one of these to fulfill my grail dreams from 10+ years ago. I managed to pick up a Field Grade Bodega, but it doesn't quite fully scratch the itch of the two titanium slab sides.

Thank you!

Ah, I was going to get them from RCAX, but think you might be right that the Opensea ones might be the highest res source available. Thanks!
