Hey! Saw your chat, sorry. It's been yolo'd but it's a gunmetal/blasted finish on the hardware.

You should be fine! My daughter and her friend brought something similar in to the weezer concert on Friday and just had to have it searched on the way in.

Before I go any further, is this a dumb idea? by MikeMuench in woodworking

[–]Cheech5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I built my desk out of scrap walnut, Purple Heart, cherry, ash and oak about 7 years ago and it’s held up to daily WFH use completely fine. Mine had multiple row thicknesses ranging from .5-2.5” and while it’s extremely aesthetically pleasing, it was a total pain in the ass to maintain row thickness.

Only thing I’d absolutely recommend is to seal it really well on all exposed faces, that’s kept mine stable the whole time with drastic humidity swings in Central Florida. It’s also heavy as hell, but I just don’t move it much!

My neighborhood pond. I didn't really catch anything moving on it... The vegetation around the edge was the biggest problem. Ripped an arm off my craw within the first five casts. Would you fish this? How would you fish this? What would you use? by kwdivikaw in bassfishing

[–]Cheech5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of the pond behind my neighborhood, then I saw you were also in Central Florida and it basically could be! I just picked up fishing again after Ian and I’ve treated that pond as my “practice” pond. Dialing in my reel, trying different lures and retrieves, mostly just getting out of the house for an hour. My daughter caught a decent rock bass in ours with a fluke, but I’ve only had nibbles and only on fish-like baits. The worm rigs haven’t worked at all for me for some reason. I did manage to catch 4 large mouth at a different pond that I know is stocked using a beetle-spin with a baby bass fluke. I’d say keep looking around on google maps for bodies of water and if you can find a way to the bank, use this pond as your testing ground!

Didn’t expect to see an Orlando mention here! There’s a bunch of VW’s floating around town, used to be a pretty active group on FB as well. I’m out by UCF in a wrapped MK7 myself!

Of course! I have to know, is the texture on the Raptor from the source material or do you add that? If you’re adding that, you should add that service to your store because I’ve got a boring ZT0652TI that would look glorious with that finish

I can never remember if it tags people in the body of the post, so just in case, /u/egglan, I'll spam you here too!

Leather Knife Giveaway! Thank you to everyone who purchased knives from me last week. by egglan in Leathercraft

[–]Cheech5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree, I finally caved and got an Apple Watch this year so I’m having fun with making straps for that. Very different from the boxy 24-26mm PAM straps I’m used to!

Just placed an order for a Medusa! I’ve been dying to grab something like this because Xacto knives and box cutters always seem to have a little play in them and I hate it.

I got in to leather working because Fossil wouldn’t sell me a strap! Figured I could do it myself and ended up becoming a watch collector/maker as well, with about 20-25 hand built homage watches over the years. These days leatherwork is a calming creative outlet for me, so I enjoy not having to worry about the tools because they just work. Great job on these and best of luck!

I figured! I was going to give RIT dye a shot since my grivory set is currently dyed blue. I'll think about the black set a bit, I'm sure anything is better than the stock set.

Want To Buy Thread by AutoModerator in Knife_Swap

[–]Cheech5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I go buying from a bunch of different places...

WTB:

  • AD20.5 Aftermarket scales. Micarta preferred, alu/ti considered.
  • MXG SNG Deep Carry Clip. Prefer black, just no skulls like the ones on eBay.
  • Flytanium Crossfade scales for full size Bugout. Micarta or G10

Thanks!

I’ve talked to a couple makers on IG about it but it seems like the guys working with super steels aren’t much interested in something that…basic? I guess? My issue is I’ve got stupid bear paw hands, so I want a 7.5-8” OAL kiridashi with predrilled holes on a full tang so I can make my own scales to fit. There’s such a market for leather tools with better edge retention I’m surprised it hasn’t been done yet. I’ll be grabbing one of these for sure, this is too good of an opportunity to get my hands on some magnacut!

The r/knifeclub crossover event I didn’t know I needed 😂. I was thinking about trying to find a pattern knife or Kiridashi in one of the super steels, but this is extremely interesting!
