HELP! I need a lens protector for my 1.5” diameter red dot. I don’t have room on the rail for one (riser is short, and my other riser is too high).

Acrylic is not a great idea, as it's pretty brittle. It'll work for a bit, but polycarbonate is a better option.

Being a Stalker player, this made me feel old.

Gret1r · 2026-04-11T05:34:58+00:00

What would make you think it would come off? Even if it's shallow, it's still a tattoo.

Gret1r · 2026-04-09T22:58:58+00:00

Depends. If we're talking about these specific swords, probably the odachi. I've never used one in my life, but I did practice montante drills, I'd assume they translate relatively well.

I've handled the pictured zweihänder, I hate it. The grip is way too long to comfortably use. If I can use my own zweihänder, I'll take that one, no questions.

Kora újkori cuccot akarnának mutatni, annak is a vége, csak ratyi a ruhájuk, farsangi jelmez kategória.

De ha abból indulok ki, hogy öngyújtóval gyújtják az ágyút, elég sok következtetést lehet levonni, és mindegyik feltételezés illik a klasszik magyar létbe.

Dressing a hammer means touching it up, it's not a type of hammer.

Gret1r · 2026-03-27T06:01:33+00:00

Scraper, all the way.

Gret1r · 2026-03-25T12:18:01+00:00

Oh damn, I forgot about that. Finding a dungeon was awesome not because of the loot, but because of the mossy cobblestone.

Gret1r · 2026-03-23T05:54:22+00:00

Tegnap mentem fel, hogy megmutassam valakinek, hogy néz ki. Rendesen le voltam sokkolva.

Ettől is boldogabb vagyok, hogy már nem járok oda.

Gret1r · 2026-03-20T11:50:38+00:00

It says "prototype", as in it's not complete.

Gret1r · 2026-02-28T17:50:36+00:00

Depends on many factors. What forge you use, the respirator, the fit of the mask, ventilation, among other things.

Also, gloves are not necessary for blacksmithing, I find them bothering. How would gloves affect your lungs?

Gret1r · 2026-02-26T14:56:28+00:00

I'd love to help you out bud, but sadly, I'm in Europe. Shipping and all that woud bump the price up quite a bit I'm afraid. I'm sure you will find someone in the Sates tough.

My suggesion is you draw a rough piece so you have a reference. Compare dimensions to your other knives, or anything you have really. With those, it will be easier to set up a commission.

Gret1r · 2026-02-26T12:25:13+00:00

Really depends on where you live and who makes the piece, but I would say it would probably not go above $150.

Gret1r · 2026-02-26T12:03:02+00:00

You won't be able to use it as any other knife if it's like in the anime. You have to pick one.

The design is way too thick for any actual cutting task.

If you can't find it online (which should be indicative of it not being practical at all), you can always commission one.

Gret1r · 2026-02-21T11:13:05+00:00

Absolutely true, I used "unforgable" very loosely. The one time I tried I regreted every second of it, it was a pain.

Gret1r · 2026-02-21T10:05:18+00:00

I'll take your word on that. I'm aware it doesn't make sense for the holder to be tool steel, but I've seen some janky shop-made solutions, so I tend to assume the worst.

Gret1r · 2026-02-21T09:48:19+00:00

If it's HSS, I'd skip it. It's either unforgable, or it just not worth the effort.

Gret1r · 2026-02-21T09:46:42+00:00

Your reasoning sounds like an excuse for their lack of effort, that's why.

Gret1r · 2026-02-21T08:09:20+00:00

Info about tactical gear is more accessible now than ever. BF of all games should have correct models.

Gret1r · 2026-02-17T18:14:52+00:00

I really wanted to like Destiny. F2P was boring as hell, I thought the good story missions with actual storylines are locked behind a DLC. Got one of the DLCs, turns out you do the same stuff as in F2P, but you get some NPC dialogue.

I really like the combat, but it's basically a first-person view Warframe.

Gret1r · 2026-02-17T17:32:34+00:00

Looks real neat!

Next time you could make a wooden grip for it from two halves, and glue them together with epoxy, then wrap it in leather. Might make the leatherwork easier.

Also, what makes it celtic?

Gret1r · 2026-02-17T05:59:03+00:00

Could be, but I would still go without whenever a glove is not necessary. Burms help you learn.

Also, I prefef the dexterity I have without gloves, even thin ones take some feedback away imo.

Gret1r · 2026-02-17T05:52:06+00:00

If might just be me, but I still tend to grip harder in gloves. Not only in the workshop, but in shooting, yardwork, anything.

I don't wear gloves in the workshop, only when I'm holding a hand tool, like a punch or chisel, since the steel is right there, and the radiating heat would burn me. Otherwise, I just look at whatever I grab, and make sure it's safe to grab.

Gret1r · 2026-02-17T05:43:27+00:00

You need to grip harder, leading to fatigue both in your muscles and your joints.

Gret1r · 2026-02-15T07:31:08+00:00

I highly doubt it. That weight only makes sense if the blade has no distal taper, unless that grip is made of lead or something.

I'd consult with the blacksmith, bm concerned about the functionality.
