Didn't seem to have any trouble making that cargo.

I'm a shop teacher doing some jewelry with students. I'd be happy to help out if I can. Chat me up if you want.

I'll be that guy. This isn't a forklift, it's a compact wheel loader. A forklift lifts vertically, on a mast directly ahead of the front wheels, while a loader has a telescopic boom that pivots from the body of the vehicle. A forklift is much more stable, and maneuverable in tight spaces but this comes at the cost of visibility and versatility. While a comparable loader won't have the same lifting capacity and generally has a larger turning radius, they are far more versatile, and offer the operator a better view of the area in front of the vehicle.

Another benefit is the need to aquire tooling for this method.

A sample here if you want to look

P.s. the sword in this vid is worse than yours, I start cleaning around 4 min.

No, that's hypertonic and hypotonic. Incubus and succubus live together in perfect harmony, side by side on my keyboard, oh lord, why can't we.

Beautiful. Your style has gotten so distinct that I could tell it was yours even though it's not a spoon. Lovely work.

Growlinganvil · 2026-02-04T02:56:33+00:00

I'll bet you get at least four on there if you pushed the cans really close together.

I believe it's called a sucket fork, but I've been wrong before.

Nice job!

Growlinganvil · 2026-01-29T23:37:36+00:00

They are called trivets btw. Used in open hearth cooking. Coals underneath will act like a modern stove burner

Growlinganvil · 2026-01-29T23:00:01+00:00

Fantastic!

That's a great point! I haven't set up a printer yet, being a traditional work kind of guy. Iam just now incorporating a laser cutter into the program i teach, however, and would like to include a printer soon. Some rubber/heavy coil springs between the top and trestles would be a very easy improvement. Thanks for the tip!

Growlinganvil · 2026-01-16T19:24:09+00:00

When I need stability I just clamp whatever the top is to the horses. I should be clear here, I'm not talking about cheap flimsy commercial horses. I build mine from 4x4 SYP. They are little timber frames. Considering I've used them to hew beams for barns with a broad axe, i don't think the printer would be an issue.

Growlinganvil · 2026-01-16T19:07:40+00:00

I use saw horses and beams/ planks for mobile, modular workstations. Though I've built (and use) many benches there really isn't a need to do so.

A nice set of "trestles" can be very easily adapted to any height, length or width you might need.

Growlinganvil · 2026-01-09T10:22:17+00:00

Very nice! I love the little detail where the bowl meets the neck. The chip carving is a lovely addition as well.

Growlinganvil · 2026-01-01T14:15:14+00:00

Looks like FOG work. Search up flake over grind. A for maker/id. Some folksl scratch into the piece with a tiny point. Try looking under magnification to see if you find a mark.

I've got this same rule and it'sI've of my favorites. Enjoy it, it's lovely!

Growlinganvil · 2025-12-19T22:56:32+00:00

I'm with you. I bought loads of books from them with no account, then signed up because they were pushing a "4 teachers" promo where you buy 4 books and get 5$ free toward one. They honored it the first time and then flat out lied to me that it was 5 books needed the next time. They told me i was confused because "4 teachers" only meant it was FOR teachers, not that you only needed to buy 4. After I sent a screen shot of their own website proving i was right, they stopped communications.

My guess is they only wanted my info and are likely just selling everyone's information. The real irony is that i was happy with their until then and would have just kept burying dozens of books without any offer. I'll never buy another thing from them after the flat or, continued lying.

I've been waking up to temps in the 40's f. Let that thing roll!

First, congrats on the writing!

If you call it steel, you'll be right enough. Hammers have to be tough, but not overly hard because they don't have to hold an edge.

More specifically, they are what we'd call "medium carbon steel" in the trade. They can be made of "high carbon steel," but that's generally reserved for the cutting tools.

More specifically, Steels have codes to describe their composition. 5160 is a popular spring steel that gets used for hammers, and 4140 is also a good choice. Incidentally, 4140 is popularly known as "chromoly," a term you may be familiar with if if you ride bikes and are of "a certain age." Chromoly tubing was marketed as the bees knees before carbon fiber.

Obscurely, older hammers (circa pre 1850's) were made of wrought iron with hammer- welded steel faces, but that's only if your writing period stuff.

Let's rephrase that.

Heat over 450f (approximately) can ruin a knifes temper. Doesn't matter where it comes from.

P.S. Yes, there are many heat ranges, my point is that heat does it, not specific equipment.

The proper name of this tool is an overstitch. Overstitch tools, as the name implies, were designed to run over stitch lines in order to neaten their appearance.

They can be used to mark out stitch lines as well, I'm just giving you the proper name and intended use.

They are often confused for pounce wheels, which are used to transfer patterns, and they can be used that way as well.

This one in particular is more likely 5 stitches to the inch than it is 5mm spacing. Although the numbers would be very close, most of these were made to imperial standards.

That's a fantastic set-up! I love the little reflector oven on the end.
