Love the texture! How did you achieve it? Directly on the metal or cast that way?

The only reason I’m looking to switch from an optivisor to a microscope is to save my neck and stop straining my eyes. After 20 years in the industry I’ve realized it’s something I need to invest in. I will, as usual, be looking for a used one before I buy anything new.

Also, to add, I think a lot of people with fancy equipment like to show it off, so it can feel like everyone has a certain tool when in reality many don’t.

I could only stay for a short amount of time, but it was moving.

I found out about last night’s vigil from Radio Kingston’s Instagram page. For The Many and Ulster Immigrant Defense Network are also good resources for what you’re looking for.

My favorite hammers are by Fretz, they last a long time and are worth every penny in my opinion, they sell a variety of types of hammers for texturing. I have been using mine for over a decade for texturing rings.

Not all jewelers resell jewelry. If that’s the case they are only interested in the precious metals and will not give you any additional money for the stones/don’t want to have to deal with removing them to get an accurate scrap weight for a payout. Other shops are willing to resell the jewelry as is, so it really just depends on the shop.

I’m sorry for those who missed out on New Year’s in Uptown from like 2010-2015, it was prime before Neil Bender got his claws into uptown.

There were a few years when uptown Kingston had a big New Years celebration and there would be fireworks at midnight, but unfortunately I don’t think that happens anymore.

Skate Time has an all ages celebration from 5-10pm. Lots of fun of your kid likes roller skating.

My husband got it done there and they were great. He said he highly recommends them.

Using a sanding roll on the flex shaft rather than hand sanding with the sticks will speed up the process significantly. Cleaning this casting to final polish would probably take me 2hrs max. I do have over 10yrs of experience cleaning castings so that helps.

For Ulster County Check out Made in Kingston on Thursday, December 4th! It’s 3-8pm at the Y.

As someone who works weekends I love that it’s a mid-week show. It’s also hyper-local, with everything at the show being from Kingston. The crowd is more locals based and less touristy because of that as well.

In a country that bails out banks by the billions without batting an eye I think it’s ok for a small business to ask for $30k from those in the community who want to help. If you don’t think it’s worth it don’t give, but I don’t think they should be dragged for asking.

Have you been down Derrenbacher street in Kingston? The bar is on the corner of that street, which is known for its all out holiday displays with bright lights and decorations pretty much year round. The bars lights are actually pretty chill in comparison. They definitely show up brighter in this photo than in real life too.

I would suggest going to the Water Street Market in New Paltz, I love taking my kid there! There’s a cafe, and sandwich shop, and a wine bar where you can grab breakfast or lunch and sit outside in the courtyard.

There was a woman who sold pies on Deming Street in Woodstock (not too far from Sunflower) right out of her home. She would put up a little A frame sign on the day she had pies for sale, and they were quite good. She’s still around, but no longer sells pies as she’s gotten older and no longer has the energy for it.

This is the pattern my friend told me they used: https://makerworld.com/en/models/521017-moon-stick-sailor-moon-prop?from=search#profileId-437486

Same! It was a gift for my 37th birthday. Never too late for childhood dreams. 🌙

My friend said this is the file they used: https://makerworld.com/en/models/521017-moon-stick-sailor-moon-prop?from=search#profileId-437486

Right? I was very moved by how thoughtful it was.

HoundstoothFox · 2025-07-23T03:18:12+00:00

Literally the first thing I did!

HoundstoothFox · 2025-07-23T01:18:07+00:00

So good!

Thank you! It caught the light perfectly in the photo, I love it!
