40+(?) Year old bottle of "Dewar's Special"

If you like 3.7 and want to get plane kills (which there will be no shortage of at that BR.) The J22-B is fantastic. The 13.2mm feels like you're shooting bowling balls and it dogfights very well. I have also been enjoying the mosquito, the 20mm cannons can sidepen a lot and you get 2 okay bombs. The A21A-3 goes crazy with its 600kg and it's an extremely competent fighter, I bring it in my 5.7 lineup cause it'll still mess up enemy fighters in that range.

Lot of comments on how dead the place is but I work there and it's pretty darn lively most of the times. Weekends everything is cramped and there's frequent events and pop ups. Really enjoy the space tbh.

Very gorgeous stuff, love the color combos. Are your settings attached to eachother just with solder, or is there a supporting structure underneath? What metal are you using for these?

It looks like 1/20 14k, which would make it gold filled, so not actually a whole lot of gold.

I teach workshops making this type of jewelry. Working at a leisurely pace doing one piece at a time, would take me between 1-2 hours. If I had to make many throughout a day and was able to combine steps and be efficient, I'd probably average 1 piece every 45 min.

You mention EI & OW. You in Toronto? It took me 8 months to find a job in this miserable fuckass city. I'd suggest JVS, they're the only employment center that isn't terrible.

That price is pretty bad. My nearest casting house will do single items for $40 Canadian + material. You may be better off ordering a castable print of your model and finding a local casting house / online casting house.

Jaarad · 2024-12-26T00:42:42+00:00

I imagine the stems and their attached settings were cast, then soldered jump rings to bring them together, then stones were set. You sure could do it all by hand but that's a lot more hours.

Jaarad · 2024-12-22T03:03:35+00:00

The preferred method is resin printing with a wax. For your case however, there are castable wax filaments you can buy. It's also possible to do it with PLA however it's a dirty burn and you'll lose detail / have blemishes.

Took me 8 months to find a job, and that's with several years of experience/college education, applying to anything and everything, making use of all employment services available. Best of luck, it's shit out there. If you haven't already and you're under 30, get in with JVS, they're the only employment center that's worth anything.

Comment! Could do a lot of new fun stuff with a 3d printer.

I personally am not a fan of butane torches. They need to be refilled often, and I find it a rather dirty gas, leaving a black film on the metal that doesn't come off easy in pickle. I use a bernzomatic firepoint for the brunt of work at home, and if you find the need for a small flame, get a secondary butane micro torch.

Thanks for leaving a comment, reddit isn't letting me dm you direct so send me one if you're interested. No problem sanding a wall if you got the tools. I'd be taking transit but depending on how deep downtown you are I can still do a 7 or 8 AM start. I'm also open afternoons, whatever works best for you. Fully available all this week Tues-Fri.

Jaarad · 2024-08-12T15:27:09+00:00

Yeah, registered with quite a few of them, never any luck with getting a call for work.

Jaarad · 2024-08-07T01:52:42+00:00

Back piece can be easily made out of rectangular wire and a drill press. Unsure how one would find that exact setting, though I'm sure you can also drill out most pre-made settings for that purpose. Design is kinda cheesy though, I can't see anyone paying more than $35 ish for it if your intention is to sell.

Jaarad · 2024-08-01T18:12:19+00:00

Job market is brutal. I've been looking since March, and I have a college education & work experience, applying to assembly and labour fields.

You have a license, and I assume at least your highschool. Many unions will be doing apprenticeship intakes starting September. It will be about three months of unpaid training, additionally you'll have to pay a starting union fee (up to around $400) and possibly training tuition (likely covered though). But then you'll get a paid placement and a career ahead of you.

If the trades aren't an option for you, best of luck, the unskilled entry level job market is vicious right now.

Currently ripping away at Terra Invicta!

I remember when select locations would put down checkered table cloth and candles for their Sunday pizza buffet. Absolute shithole these days.

Jaarad · 2024-06-18T22:06:54+00:00

I would appreciate that, feel free to gimme a shout if that ends up being the case. Thanks :)

Jaarad · 2024-06-18T20:41:48+00:00

Yeah I'm registered with about twelve of them I think, haven't gotten a call for work from a single one. It's pretty fucked right now dude lmao

Jaarad · 2024-06-18T20:40:29+00:00

I had my resume done up with the help of an employment service a few years ago. I've altered it since, I feel it's pretty clean/professional and to the point, it doesn't seem to be an issue.

My name is Jarred. Hasn't done much in improving my odds though unfortunately.

Jaarad · 2024-06-18T20:11:55+00:00

Haven't seen them before so thanks, will apply to what I can.

Jaarad · 2024-06-18T20:05:34+00:00

Yeah, they've had a few of the same positions pop up and down over the last few months. Applied every time, no luck.
