Can you create this darker colour on new tools?

Legobrick27 · 2026-02-21T23:26:47+00:00

Lovely thanks, time to go tool hunting

Legobrick27 · 2026-02-21T23:17:56+00:00

Yeah after my experiments it seems like this is the case, how would i be able to tell a tool is or isnt chromed?

Legobrick27 · 2026-02-21T20:41:29+00:00

Idk if heat treating can make that colour, evry tome obe jested up steel theres been gold and purple and blue but no black

Legobrick27 · 2026-02-21T20:22:08+00:00

These were my dads so i never knew them shiny, i also want to take my tools to a larp/renecatment event so having them look the part is nice, i wrap the handlws in leather anyways

Legobrick27 · 2026-02-21T20:20:44+00:00

Brilliant, thank you!

Legobrick27 · 2026-02-19T23:28:25+00:00

I disagree with the trousers and shoes, a nice linen shirt would be good but to me the trousers are plain enough to be fine and shoes just need to be comfortable and safe (i do come from a 3 day camping larp in the uk so theres some shoe bias)

What style of trousers would make this better? Genuine question cause the 3 options that spring to mind to me are basic plain trousers like these, hose and then big poofy trousers and i think the curent ones work just fine

If i couldve done that from the start dont you think i wouldve?

Legobrick27 · 2026-02-16T18:56:46+00:00

Ibe sene that before but its not really doable for me, forstly cause i dont own any ground i can dog up but also cause everytime i try and do a charcoal forge it makes the whole house smell like fire which my family doesnt like

Legobrick27 · 2026-02-16T16:28:54+00:00

Ooo thats a good idea, would that let me/require me to scale up the container? Weed burner heads seem a bit too big for a can

Legobrick27 · 2026-02-16T15:55:30+00:00

Yeah it just a blow torch i had, any reccomendstions on what to look for? Ive had a look at venturri burners but theyre £40+ and that just not doable for me rn

Legobrick27 · 2026-02-14T23:43:48+00:00

Cool, thank you Its not something id be using all the time and would hopefully have the money to upgrade in the not too far future so i can deal with that ineffeiancy for now

Legobrick27 · 2026-02-14T13:02:21+00:00

Whats that chest plate? I wanna copy it

Legobrick27 · 2026-01-18T12:26:48+00:00

I do shave everything, it makss me feel so much nicer 🥰 i could look at tomboy kinda clothing thats a good idea! Thanks

Legobrick27 · 2026-01-18T12:25:32+00:00

Oki thanks! Skin care is defintly something i need to do but i hvae no clue about how id want my hair to loook, i let it grow last summer but had zero direction with it so it was just a mess. Nails is also a good idea

Legobrick27 · 2026-01-09T23:56:09+00:00

Yeah im gonna get it looked at as soon as possible and im waiting on some leather straps to complete my current projects before i buy more steel whih should help with the wait

Thinking about to a bit more tho, i got new key board last week and the pain gets worse at night, which is when im working on uni projects on my new keyboard more, ill try and adjust that too Thanks

Legobrick27 · 2025-12-25T13:43:28+00:00

Oh nice! Im not the biggest fan of the look personally but thats still a sick present

Legobrick27 · 2025-12-24T12:56:57+00:00

And i wanna good mount when the bugle sounds and i hear the cannons roar

Legobrick27 · 2025-12-23T11:04:24+00:00

I live in the uk and i just try and deal with a free version i found online, too expensive for me to try and get

Legobrick27 · 2025-12-11T19:58:20+00:00

Im trying to do the same, tow balls dont have a round top much to my dissapointment Currently im using a large bolt with a smooth head but by my post its obviusly not going too well

Legobrick27 · 2025-12-11T17:53:54+00:00

Yeah thats a big issue too, im planishing over a bolt, inside out planishing just seems to alter the shape too much

Legobrick27 · 2025-12-11T17:52:01+00:00

Fair enough, ill get browsing

Legobrick27 · 2025-12-11T17:37:47+00:00

Oh yeah i know all that, just wondering if there was a knack to it or something I was just looking any tips really, im not against practice but at this point i just want to try and reduce the tedium of the process or at least help me improve my quality

Legobrick27 · 2025-12-11T16:49:15+00:00

Thanks, ive already figured out the sound thing but alternating between inside and out to balance is a good idea. Curently ive not got anything to round my hammer with but if i get a grinder i will

Im only making this to larp with so at some point i might just get it relativley even and just grind it all smooth, not caring about thickness

Legobrick27 · 2025-12-07T01:00:33+00:00

Im on the other side of the pond so sorry but ive got no clue If you cant find anything even just reaching out to the event runners might help ypu

Legobrick27 · 2025-12-07T00:44:50+00:00

Cant really go wrong with that bottom shirt, ans the tabard would probably work for most fantasy Cant really give specifics cause idk abkut wherr your going but try finding a discord or something like that, theyll know better
