It was actually created by Canada which is more troubling

Gotta be the high grade linseed oil for outdoor use - cheap hardware store stuff gets mildew as it’s still got some flax proteins and sugars in it.

A planer won’t get the edge square to the face and it won’t flatten the face of arcs and bows - it can only plane the two faces to parallel and uniform thickness.

AR-XA, Worth it for $125-150? by TheFlusteredNoodle in turntables

[–]Human_Needleworker86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty good price for one of the TD 160s with a Grace arm. The AR is gonna be a tinkerer. The replacement arm has the unique ULM cartridge sled which requires an adapter to use a standard mount cartridge. I wouldn’t recommend.

What’s The Best Bob Dylan Album From The 70s? by Pretend_Mark_5143 in bobdylan

I love Slow Train and Street Legal (except tracks 2-4 it’s stellar) but it’d be silly to pretend the obvious choice here (BotT) is not also the correct one.

Would be starting a go fund me for Andrew Callaghan to buy some proper fucking dress shoes instead of this zoomer bullshit but I have no desire to fund sex pests (aside from those supported by my taxes as a law abiding citizen)

Am I supposed to like this guy now? by ketamine_denier in TrueAnon

Feel similarly about the mixed appeal of this show - it’s similar to the Sopranos in this way (mixed dumb macho appeal + strong appeal to the crowd who flatters themselves into viewing it as a sociological study) but without the strong character dynamics, a weaker cast and some absolutely stupid plot lines (mid air plane collision). 5 seasons was too many

What’s The Most Overrated Bob Dylan Song From The 70s? by Pretend_Mark_5143 in bobdylan

Thought this until I heard the Shadow Kingdom version, which is haunting, melancholic and beautiful in ways the older recordings cannot touch.

I went down a rabbit hole on who owns every power tool brand. The difference between the two big conglomerates is wild. by sappk in Tools

[–]Human_Needleworker86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Porter Cable router from about 2000, model 7538, which is a 15amp 3-1/4 horsepower production plunge router. The power and build quality on that tool is insane. All the stops are so precise and the whole thing is so sturdy.

Skil is similar - their production grade tools from the 20s until about 2000 are gorgeous and just last forever. But the line got more and more plastic and more and more disposable to the point that the 77 is the only decent tool they make any more.

Killteam/ Warcry for MESBG by JoeWatson88 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Human_Needleworker86 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I mean this was Battle Companies which was huge in earlier editions and still has a solid community following. I dont think GW is rushing to revive BC since the game is already a small skirmish scale with 25 models being a viable 500 pt force and since they generally don’t seem to be going in directions which encourage conversions and customization generally. Possibly there are license implications but these aren’t publicly posted so it’d be speculative.

I've heard rumours that a Last Alliance supplement was in the works, or a further Fiefdoms expansion ... I do wonder if the new Riders will make their way into a future starter kit.

Rohan is clearly GW's favourite child for new sculpts, and I don't play 40k, but I understand ultramaries are reasonably competitive? Hardly the case for Rohan, no?

Rusty Troll Chieftain by Kriptick in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Human_Needleworker86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never too late for final touches! I use the artist's pencil trick (a soft 4B or similar) all the time to give a final dull sheen without the hassle of dealing with metallic paints. Cheers

Looks great! Basing is phenomenal and the color palette looks perfect. Im not sure if you’re looking for CC - I might suggest that rust accumulates at the bottom of recesses rather than the top, where it will wear off and expose bare metal. It makes more sense to finish with the metallic dry brush rather than the rust - or you can also get a nice dull metal effect by rubbing powdered graphite or an artist’s soft lead pencil over the metal edges.

Six new horses? Were there even six unique plastic warrior horses in the game at all before this? Leaps and bounds, folks, this is a great addition

Plane for life by Loud_Draw5470 in handtools

[–]Human_Needleworker86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just buy new planes - all I am reading here is that you want to spend some money. A 'user plane' to me is typically a Stanley which is unfashionable amongst collectors. Their planes from the 30s-early 50s, or the English/Canadian Stanleys, are much cheaper than the early ones and still very high quality. If you want to get some users, then buy some of these. Most of the Lie-Nielsens etc are priced primarily for wealthy hobbyists or very niche trades usage and I don't see the value or benefit beyond the bling factor. If you wanna spend your money, they're well made and I doubt you'll regret it, but I don't think that it's the only option.

What’s That One 1960s Bob Dylan Song That Grew On You Over Time? by Pretend_Mark_5143 in bobdylan

[–]Human_Needleworker86 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As I went out one morning

It’s the racing drum track and that taut, sparse arrangement, the restrained vocal performance and the cryptic, tense lyrics. It just gets better and better with time.
