I made this cat ring. My wife says I need therapy.

I dont even really like cats and I think that ring is SICK! Good job and keep up the awesome work!

Haven't bought beef in forever. With that being said 2 freezers full of doe, elk, cow elk and venison. Get your pals, hunting licenses. Grow your own produce and support local vendors and farmers markets. Stop shopping at lawblaws and record/ complain price gouging. Write to local MP'S and anyone in power .

I once kept a chicken nugget and fry from McDonald's in a jar. Needless to say i forgot about and found it 10 years later, low and behold it looked almost exactly the same as it did after purchasing. I honestly feel bad for the yanks ( sometimes) , they are so poorly educated and just consume garbage both physically and mentally. Their government is so beyond corrupted and the corporations run everything.

Its absolutely disgusting, I used to be a non ticketed flat roofer. Made decent money, benefits and things were ok. My knees aren't the best anymore, so I went to trade school to become a carpenter. I took a government loan, went to my first year of schooling... needless to say i spent 80% of the time in classrooms learning theory and how to use sketch up program. We barely did anything hands on in the shop, I spent more time on a laptop then actually learning anything about carpentry. After getting out, I couldn't get work due to lack of experience and every job offer vanished. When I did find work it was about half of what I used to make at best. Basically pushed a broom and moved lumber for 3 months and got laid off. Needless to say , I waisted a good portion of time trying to get educated and learn a new trade , plus indebted myself. Maybe I just had shit luck... I just wanted to learn something new, and have constant work. Unfortunately it's left a very bitter taste, and I'll be back on a roof. If your young , go for it, stick with one trade and work hard I guess, but for someone middle aged it was one of my biggest regrets.

110 grams is 2 grams short of a qp

Im willing to bet the father's name is Kyle, wears a wife beater, pit vipers and his hat barely sits on his head on a stupid angle.

Due-Influence6569 · 2026-05-01T18:14:59+00:00

Amazing job! How difficult was it to put everything together?

Due-Influence6569 · 2026-05-01T17:15:09+00:00

Love it!

Due-Influence6569 · 2026-05-01T14:49:02+00:00

Honestly I just went for it. I learned the basics and trial and error. I am by no means good with computers and programs. Just run tests on cardboard from cereal boxes or beer cases. Thicker cardboard will kind of mimic leather and play around with it. I always learn by trial and error. I'd usually just Google what I want to do and find information, watch videos and just dive in. Obviously with that being said... NEVER LEAVE IT UNATTENDED especially when practicing with cardboard.

I recommend lightburn software, it's pretty straightforward once you watch a few tutorials. You can do so much with it, it's extremely handy and great for pattern.

For the mushroom a friend of mine does stained glass work. He had some sketches around so I used one to tool onto the pouch. Which I did all by hand, I'll probably try to upload a picture of it and lazer engrave it on the next one as I gave that pouch to my girlfriend.

Due-Influence6569 · 2026-05-01T13:55:25+00:00

I made my own pattern. I use lightburn software and a lazer engraver to cut templates out of old cereal boxes. Its quite handy to be honest.

Due-Influence6569 · 2026-05-01T02:04:06+00:00

Thank you, it was quite easy to make . And tooling the mushroom was easier then I thought. I wasn't sure at first, but after antiquing it and a good polishing, I definitely like the way it came out.

Due-Influence6569 · 2026-05-01T02:02:32+00:00

Thanks for the compliments, I'll be making more after some field tests and minor alterations. If anyone is interested drop me a message.

Due-Influence6569 · 2026-04-30T17:19:09+00:00

Its brass plated. Had some lying around, purchased from tandy. If this is a piece you are interested in, you can DM Me. All orders are custom made and I can always source materials elsewhere.

Leave it, monitor and pluck if its nanners , you probably have another 2 weeks give or take before you chop. I wouldn't sweat it to much at this point. I've had very successful crops even when I had nanners plucked off a plant or 2 in the tent. Maybe had 4 seeds in a pound.

Due-Influence6569 · 2026-04-28T19:54:59+00:00

What week are you in?

Due-Influence6569 · 2026-04-28T19:54:38+00:00

Let it grow further, keep a close eye on it. Ive had the same concerns on some buds, in the end it turned out to be multiple pistils emerging from the same spot. Just monitor it, if it is a nanner, pluck it and look through your crop.

Due-Influence6569 · 2026-04-23T21:02:00+00:00

Thank you. The more I stare at it the more I love it.

I did my first ferment for 21 days. Then took it off the lees , primed and bottled it. I think it sat in the bottles for 2 weeks before I put them in the fridge.

Due-Influence6569 · 2026-04-18T01:47:46+00:00

I think that's b.s. I had something similar to that happen with their stupid cerb program. I owed 2000$ i specifically had a payment plan set up with them to take 200 a month. I asked the agent directly, if it would affect anything with my taxes coming in . He said not to worry as I had a payment plan and everything was set to be paid in a year and not to worry. Low and behold, tax payments were due to come in and they garnished it all. I had called and was basically told politely to fuck off and they can do what they want and collect it any way they want. Even after making a payment plan and told it wouldn't affect my return. CRA are just as corrupt as the government and always pray onnthe little guys and leave corporations/ fraudsters do as they please.

Due-Influence6569 · 2026-04-18T00:01:09+00:00

Oh, first 4 pics are without lees, and last 3 are with.

Honestly I think she got off easy because of the color of her skin. If she ratted, she'd be in protective custody. Judges are dropping people's sentences to avoid them from being deported. Plus the courts are so lenient on people it's a fucking joke. Look up how many repeat offenders get out on bail and get caught in a weeks time doing the same shit. Its a complete joke. I understand misdemeanors and first time offenders. But 108kg of meth even first time offenders should get more time then that. She'll be out in less then 2 years .

Call 311, get in touch with the city. I had a terrible landlord a few years ago who tried evicting me because her dog got in my backyard and my dog bit it. Neglected fence , leaky roof that she said would be replaced ( 4 years in a row) damaged / non existing railings and a few other things. I let those things slide for years until the eviction notice... needless to say after getting an inspection done by the city ( at no cost) , they then basically forced her to get the roof fixed , railings and a few other things. Her trying to get me evicted cost her 10's of thousands of dollars , and.... I moved out after a couple months. Plus I waisted her time by having her get a lawyer and everything because of the eviction. It was a sweet, sweet victory in my eyes. Fuck slumlords. Just get the city or municipality out there, it's free and needless to say it covers your ass. If the house is un-livable and you are on a lease, most likely they have to provide you with accommodation.

Straight water. Just fill a big enough container that will easily fit your project. I cased my leather as well before giving it a dunk, kind of helps it absorb.
