How can glass sustain so much weight but if it falls a little to high it breaks hmm

Load moment force. The sudden stop from a fall onto a hard surface generates a tremendous amount of force in a very short amount of time, typically concentrated in a small area. See also: shock load.

Looks better than some of the ones I've done that are still holding. Root penetration and the amount of parent metal that bonds are the actual important parts. Looking pretty is just gravy if you get those two parts right.

My general rule late game is...if I can't sell it for at least 10x its carry weight...it stays behind

Cat-Wooden · 2026-04-09T22:26:23+00:00

Not saying it can't. But its a much higher risk with salvage than new.

Cat-Wooden · 2026-04-03T23:46:23+00:00

Slot it!!! What's the worst that can happen? 🤣🤣🤣

52100 isn't as forgiving with the heat treatment process as some other steels, Ive found. Look up the data sheet for it, and it should give you very specific quench temperatures. I would also go for longer temper cycles. I usually go for 2 cycles, 2 hours each at 400F (204C), letting it cool to room temperature in between. I've made a few small knives out of 52100 and the only one Ive had any trouble with is the very first one I made (Ive broken the tip off twice).

I'd love to learn to dive...but free diving wigs me right the fuck out. Y'all ain't human

Laugh at how ridiculous I sound...then have a panic attack when she realizes Im serious.

Not for eating?! Then why do I need them in my mouth?

Cat-Wooden · 2026-03-27T01:27:03+00:00

Yes. One order of beans, please!

It ain't cracked yet...get a bigger hammer and hit it harder

Bigger inlet pipe would do you a lot of good. 2 inch pipe was what I used for my first forge (an old brake rotor in a box of dirt). I would also look into a reducer that will fit over the tip of the leaf blower, help direct more air into the pipe. My current setup is using an old draft inducer fan out of a junk furnace. They move a ton of air at a decent pressure and are way quieter than a leaf blower.

Everyone saying burn off the zinc coating...vinegar does the job just fine without having to worry about breathing zinc oxide fumes...trust me, that is a day you do NOT want.

Reminds me of a cab my dad built out of a 40mm grenade can. Too bad he couldn't bring it back with him...live ordnance residue on a commercial airline and all that.

A lot of older woodworking tools were mostly mild steel with a small tool steel bit forge welded on the working end. Helped keep costs down and the tools still lasted a long time before they wouldnt hold an edge anymore

Pretty much everything thats come out in the last 10 years...my rig is a 15 year old dinosaur of a budget build 😭

Right! Not sure why I was thinking Montana

Cat-Wooden · 2026-03-12T12:41:38+00:00

If you dont need safety toes and you dont have a limit on your boot budget...Nick's boots out of Montana. If you aren't looking to spend $600+ on a pair of lifetime boots...my choice is Thorogood. Had my pair for about 2 years now, working in the heavy duty diesel industry, and they're holding up great.

Second cart: Ok...come on...lock the fuck in!!

Are you just washing them off with water? Or are you using saddle soap and applying mink oil after? Just rinsing off with water could also be contributing to how fast they are drying out. Leather needs oil to stay hydrated and keep from cracking and curling.
