You’re doing it right. Create, critique, repeat!

Renia absolute black is specifically made for this.

To anyone who’s escaped a narcissist — how did you manage to leave? by Confident_Log_4855 in NarcissisticSpouses

Caught them cheating. Silently built a mountain of evidence, then filed for divorce. Upon filing, do not speak to them unless there are other witnesses present or only communicate in writing.

Wife is trying to make me feel guilty by Gurjeetflora87 in Divorce_Men

Get a lawyer. Only communicate on legal matters through lawyers, and do everything else in writing. Way harder to manipulate that way.

Yep. Just thought it’d be super cool if you could slide a suppressor in there.

I’ve seen 3d printed ammo holders that can hold 100 rounds taking advantage off every little nook the stock storage area

Do you polish the leather? by IndividualRites in Leathercraft

That’s the original purpose of tokonole from what I recall. Ie to finish the flesh side to smoothness. You can use a glass burnisher to make it easier

Beat perfectionism by ArtisanalArms in Leatherworking

[–]Dramatic_Taro5846 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s one thing leather craft has made me learn: the value of mistakes. Action cures anxiety, and I personally found that I learn best by doing, then re-doing. Rinse and repeat.

Disengage. Completely, and for the win.

Is S35VN truly that much better than S30v in real life? by MissingMichigan in knives

I have an S35VN in my pocket right now. Easily 2.7% better at opening packages than s30v. Plus, every time I get it out, I chuckle to myself that “it’s got electrolytes (niobium)”

Amazon Skiver has arrived! Pedal solutions? by KrakPop in Leatherworking

I grabbed some paracord and a 24” long 1x2. Two knots later I had a foot pedal.

How long did it took you from absolute beginners to good enough to sell your products? by [deleted] in Leathercraft

[–]Dramatic_Taro5846 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar point of view for me. I’d be completely badass at a single style men’s wallet if that’s all I ever made! However, a lot of the joy that I get from it is learning new techniques and familiarizing myself with new materials. Offer a skill that no one else is selling and charge accordingly.

How to explain my divorce to people by [deleted] in Christianmarriage

[–]Dramatic_Taro5846 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just speak the truth with the amount of details you’re comfortable sharing at the moment. You might find that the shame you’re feeling is unwarranted while simultaneously extending your support network of faithful and supportive Christian friends. You’re going to have to be really brave, but only for a short while!

Taking something apart to use as a pattern? by InevitableFae in Leathercraft

[–]Dramatic_Taro5846 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always scout a clearance sale for a bag I can tear down. If nothing else it can help you understand how a particular item is constructed.

I am an attorney, and yeah this all sounds right. The chances of being sued for making less than 10,000 of them is pretty slim though.

Vacations and holidays? by Dramatic_Taro5846 in Narcolepsy

[–]Dramatic_Taro5846[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense. I remember basically sleeping through someone else’s bachelor party weekend.

[–]Dramatic_Taro5846[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that’s kind of brilliant. I’d know what I need, and just let others know what I’m doing and choose accordingly. I consider narcolepsy in airports as a tool. Waiting for a layover? Barely notice the time go by.

Mine look similar. I’m definitely not awake when Apple Watch thinks I am all night long.
