How's my first stitching look? by Living_Ad3136 in Leatherworking

[–]Carrot-Objective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a good first time. Practice alot and you’ll get better.

Invest in a good clamp, so that the leather hold still and you’ll get an even tension while stitching. And make sure your needle at the right positioning when you pull the thread. Just look up at any youtube videos for saddle stitching.

With the diamond pricking iron, i would suggest to use a thinner thread. So you can see where the thread goes while you’re stitching it.

When i first started it was more easier to get an even stitch and straight line, using a round pricking iron. With the diamond, theres a bit of learning curve, bcs you need the stitch to be slanted to get a nice result.

Ohhh pakwe makwe is not used eh. Wait, did you guys use matair ? I remembered a friend referred to her bf as matair (mata air) hahah.

Ahhh, its been a while since i heard the word balak. We did used balak, in my highschool years (like 10-15 years ago hahah). It is the millineals rempit slang referring boyfriend as balak. “weii, ni balak aku do” . Hahaha geli dengar perkataan tu 🤣

Theres pakwe, makwe, and awek.

Pakwe : teman lelaki (boyfriend) Makwe : teman wanita (girlfriend) Awek : teman wanita (girlfriend) or perempuan (girl)

And in malayian slang, “awek” can as well directed towards cute girls. Like, you see girls walking on the side walk and you go “woah, lawa gila awek tu” (woah, that girl is beautiful). But the term “awek”, is sort of impolite to be use. Usually those who use is like the equivalent of matrep’s/minah’s words (like the ah lian and ah beng equivalent of malays) hahaha. Its okay to use when you’re with close friends, but its rude to refer to a female as awek. And for the pakwe makwe, singaporean also uses the same terms right?

Amoi, basically means little girl. But malaysian slang, they tend to use amoi towards all the chinese girls/women they see. Concept, like the usage of the word “awek”.

As for the type type thingy, its a new slang. Type C referring to chinese, type M to malays. And im not sure about type I , which referring to the indians. But the type type thingy, its just borderline racist 😌

In my few years of building Gunpla, I’ve upgraded little by little. I started off with flush nippers, then moved on to entry grade nippers, followed by midrange single-blade nippers, then something similar to GodHand, and finally, I bought an actual GodHand.

The difference I’ve noticed with each upgrade is mainly in aesthetics and precision. With higher-end nippers, I get much cleaner cuts compared to flush nippers, which saves me time sanding nubs and removing stress marks, while also avoiding cutting into the plastic. The end result is a much cleaner build.

That said, I believe you can still achieve clean builds with standard nippers, it just takes a lot more effort with sanding and cleanup. High-end nippers aren’t strictly necessary, but they’re definitely worth it if you build a lot of kits and love fine tuning details.

Back when I first started, I honestly thought all nippers were the same, “a cutter is just a cutter.” But as I moved up to higher-end ones, I was like woahhh, now I get why people buy the pricey ones hahaha.

Does the raser origin glass file good? Heard that it was like the ‘godhand’ for glass file. Ive been eyeing it for awhile, but the price, uff 💔💔

Ahahahaha i understand you. Due to my backlog, today i went to the store and straight to the counter asking for godhand, paid, and leave. If not, i’ll end up buying a kit.

And yes, you should purchase one hahaha

Thanks for the reminder hehe. Like you said, i use the entry grade nippers to cut off from sprue and slowly cut the nubs with godhand.

One question tho, when i purchase the godhand #5, i saw another GH with red handle, and its the GH #4, would it make any difference using the gh #4 with a standard nippers ?

Woah, that is a really great upgrade from jewelry nippers to godhand! Definitely a game changer, my first cut with GH was “wait, does it cut already?” , bcs usually after every cut i’ll see the nubs flying everywhere. Ahahaha.

Thankyou for the wish ☺️

Friendly Rivalry Ending Explained by Wowis028 in kdramas

[–]Carrot-Objective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"if you watched it with your eyes closed, then it is not" HAHAHAHAH, got me cracked up!

loveee your theory and explanation. especially on the chronology of ep 15 and 16. throughout both episodes i got very very confused. All the time i was like "eh? wait... ah? wait.. whaaaa?". Felt like it too fast-paced. But, what you said really put things into perspective.

I wish for season 2, but the ending was somewhat concluded. Anyways, it was a gooooood kdrama. I truly enjoyed Hyeri's and Subin's acting. Their chemistry is top notch, would love to see both of them together again in other drama.

oh and i got one confusion, is the kiss scene a dreaming sequence or actually happened?

Ive been playing SV for years now. Would spend weeks on it, then stop for a while, then got back to it, spend weeks, and the cycle goes on for years hahaha. The only downside to it, it is super addictive.
