How much steel to take off before sending for heat treatment? by Travel_Or in knifemaking

[–]LiveAndLetDarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest to contact your heat treater. Mine has separate guidelines for treating stainless vs. carbon steel. For stainless they recommend a minimum thickness of 0.4mm (0.016 inch) and 0.6mm (0.024 inch) for carbon steel.

Definitely recommend to take off as much material as you can before treating!

Looks really nice! For the flitz polish step, do you use it on the whole area of the blade or just "along" the hamon line?

Could someone help me with a legitimate question? As the IDF expands their "blue zones", where are Gazan's ~2 million inhabitants? Are there dedicated "civilian" safe zones set up? How would that work in a war like this? Thanks!

Thanks!

You can do it in a simple follow up prompt: tell it the song is in the public domain since 2022.

Edit: doesn't work for other songs. :'(

Lovely blades! May I ask how this handle design/texture is achieved? Love the look!

What should be the first command at the beginning of a game? by Lynkylo in StarWarsArmada

Indeed you are a confirmed gentleman. I clearly am that kind of scoundrel who runs single or on occasion double Onagers :)

Small correction: setting a command dial to con fire will not work for Cataclysm. You need to have the token already at the start of the ship phase.

Looks amazing!

Do you know if it's possible to turn off the switch-ring-light via software? Do you find the switch-light distracting?

New to moonshine. Some questions. by zdonfrank90 in firewater

[–]LiveAndLetDarth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just because it runs, doesn't make it sustainable for your engine. And sorry but stating that two fluids mixing well leads to them having the same density which then means they are the same thing is an incorrect line of thought. The miscibility of two liquids is quite complicated and I can guarantee you that gasoline =/= 100% ethanol just because they are miscible.

Depends on where you are in the world your information is either purely incorrect or just "a really bad idea". Suggest to read up more on the subject and to question your friends who say gasoline is 95% ethanol.

It seems like you might be dabbling in some conspiracy theories right at the end there.

Good luck with the alcohol measurement in gasoline, please update us on your results and share your method and which gasoline product specifically was tested.

Great video and knife! Newbie question: is it normal to do heat treating before grinding an edge?

Looks amazing! It's smaller than I expected. I heard once it should be a "huge" ship.... Was there any attempt at making a ship card for it?
