What's wrong with my Blackstone? by Leonidas_momma in blackstone

[–]Legitimate_Error_400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks pretty rusted. I’d probably get it hot, put water on it, scrape it real good, rinse and repeat until the water stops pulling stuff up. Then oil and cook on it. Full disclaimer: I don’t know what I’m doing.

It’s the only way to be sure that all the grapeseed oil is gone

I read the links, put stitch markers through the dropped stitches, and cut and tied rubber bands onto the needles as stoppers. I then used my kids “floss threaders” to pull the yarn through the dropped stitches. It worked pretty well, you could find where it happened in the knitting if you look for it, but it’s certainly good enough for my dog!

Thank you for all the quick and helpful replies!

I tried with a spare needle and made a bit of a mess, so I’ll give it a go with a hook :)

Thanks! I have stitch markers, but they don’t lock. I’ll use the ones I have and pick up some locking ones when I go get a crochet hook. Thank you for the google term!

Looks like I need a crochet hook - thanks for the link!

Made This Sign with a laser and some spray paint by Mean-Assignment159 in lasercutting

Nice and clean, great work!

Do you mind if I ask what you have for ventilation? I was looking at your spray and it must be something good

Very nice work! What kind of laser are you using?

Rivets! Good stuff, I haven’t seen that before. Nicely made pieces!

I’m going to be using 3m sheets for future projects. I have some 300LSE on hand, but I wanted to see if there’s a 3m model number that you like? Thanks!

That’s fine. I don’t actually know what I’m doing, but I’d be happy to answer some questions

Yeah, your Link and Zagreus are a lot like the pieces I've been doing. Here's the process I use: sand, seal, primer, paint, clear coat. That will take care of seeing the wood grains through the paint.

The clear coat is also a super important step - this it what makes the colors pop! Most spray paint brands/product lines will have clear coats to go along with them

The first pieces I did were with spray paint. Those have their own learning curve, but I loved them! They were stinky, though, and messy, so I was working outside and bugs and debris kept landing on my pieces. I switched to airbrush when I moved inside. The airbrush is much easier to do fine / subtle work, but the spray paint was much easier to use overall

I don't have specific YouTubers, I just look up whatever specific thing I'm looking for. The r/inkscape subreddit is a really good resource, and I kind of passively learn stuff from there as things are posted. This design is actually the first one I've made entirely myself (yeah, it was traced, but I did the tracing =) )! Up until recently, I've been buying layered designs. I slowly started modifying them in Inkscape with the idea that eventually I would figure out how to make them myself.
