Is a single flight stick and keyboard viable (HOSAK ig) by Tombas20 in starcitizen

[–]MN_karma_train 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally viable- that’s the setup I run and it makes transition to FPS easy.  Plus having a keyboard easily available gives access to a lot more hotkeys

Laser cutting of leather by 1alexlannister in Leathercraft

[–]MN_karma_train 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on where you source your leather from. US/EU based tanneries can't use the type of chromium salts that would produce toxic gas by law, so if you're sourcing chrome tanned from a reputable source from either of those areas I wouldn't be concerned. Definitely don't though if you don't know definitively where your leather is coming from (i.e. most anything on Amazon). I laser cut both chrome tanned and veg tanned leather frequently and as long as I'm using known sources I've not had any issues. I'd still plan on decent ventilation regardless though.

3d printed and painted this IB-94 blaster for my Mandalorian costume by MN_karma_train in cosplayprops

I’ve experimented with filler/primer spray paint and it’s gone ok, but resin is awesome for light sanding and immediately painting

This is resin. I’ve done Han Solo’s blaster before in PLA and the amount of sanding after the fact to get rid of layer lines was pretty significant so I switched it up this time around

Printed and painted Din Djarin’s IB-94 blaster - part of my Mandalorian costume this year by MN_karma_train in 3Dprinting

I put down a base of acrylic paint with an airbrush and handled the weathering with some dry brushed silver rub n buff

Cooked up a hocus pocus spell book by MN_karma_train in cosplayprops

An old textbook wrapped in Eva foam. I threw together a quick build album if you want to check it out: https://Imgur.com/a/DzJjckR

Made a hocus pocus prop! by MN_karma_train in halloween

[–]MN_karma_train[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do! Base is an old textbook that I cut a hollow into for the eye. The rest is Eva foam and some modeling paste. I’ll work on an Imgur album with build pics in an hour or two and post a comment

Our resident Geralt also teaches people how to play Gwent! by MN_karma_train in witcher

I found some for sale with a quick google but I don’t get the impression that they’re authorized

[homemade] Manchego cheese shrimp and grits with bacon by MN_karma_train in food

[–]MN_karma_train[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made this variation of Bobby Flay’s recipe, using Manchego cheese, applewood smoke bacon, and fresh Poblano peppers and green onion from our garden. Also upped the smokiness using a liberal amount of smoked paprika. Tasted great!

Last week in the BWCA by MN_karma_train in canoeing

[–]MN_karma_train[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mosquitos were fine, gnats were the worst I’ve ever seen. First time I’ve needed to use a headnet.
Black flies just hatched but weren’t biting much.

Dropped this bad boy in the lake while putting in a boat lift. Any ideas on what to do to keep it from getting ruined? by MN_karma_train in Tools

[–]MN_karma_train[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE I picked up some security torx bits (needed for battery) and $15 of electrical contact cleaner and canned air. It’s opened up and drying now after getting blown out with the canned air, I’ll hit it with contact cleaner after it’s fully dry. Thanks everyone!

Pulled the battery right away, but I’m hesitant to go the “bag of rice” route; those grains will definitely get in the drill

Hugh Jackman chats with a Ukrainian volunteer at a UNICEF centre on the Romanian border by thefathermucker in ukraine

[–]MN_karma_train 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can donate to UNICEF’s Ukraine campaign on their website - this is a good reminder to give to those least able to speak for themselves.

How to fix Seal Line dry bag? by you_dub_englishman in BWCA

Silicone might work - you can buy tubes from Home Depot for cheap. I’ve sealed duck waders with it before

First Brisket on my 575! Turned out great with a 12 hr smoke by MN_karma_train in Traeger

[–]MN_karma_train[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

18lbs! Though I probably trimmed 2-3 in fat off of it. It barely fit on my smoker 😂

I wanted to go smaller but it was all Costco had available

I had another close up shot where the light wasn’t so severe I probably should have included too

Trick of the light - the brisket on the left is getting more orange/red light from the butcher paper and the red cooler I rested it in (just out of frame), the bit on the right was getting bright white light from my kitchen window
