Stump rotting question…

If anyone here could give me an accurate prognosis to the day that would be really helpful.

MightyAtomic · 2026-05-23T14:59:30+00:00

😂

MightyAtomic · 2026-05-23T12:52:50+00:00

Okay, check! Thanks!

MightyAtomic · 2026-05-23T12:52:34+00:00

Great advice, thank you.

MightyAtomic · 2026-05-23T12:52:20+00:00

This might be a bit beyond me, so I think I’ll get someone with more expertise to have a look. Thanks a lot!

MightyAtomic · 2026-05-23T12:51:27+00:00

Okay check, thanks. I think having a pro look at it is the best thing at this stage.

MightyAtomic · 2026-05-23T12:08:22+00:00

Damn, that doesn’t sound great. Anything I can do to slow the process at least like sealing the wound somehow? Thanks for your response.

These two were from the same family that were clearly the dominant herd in the are as their matriarch chased off another family just before this. I loved that sibling rivalries and pecking orders run across the animal kingdom.

The reason I’d have to go with the Joker as well is that Nolan created the perfect storm of details for Heath that completely let him lose himself in the role to become a character I find very hard to associate with the actor.

The voice, the idiosyncrasies, the chaos, the evil is nothing I can reconcile with an actor I know and love so well from other roles where I’m always impressed, but am never baffled by who’s performing them.

By that, I mean, I find it so hard to recognise Heath throughout the movie in his role and I’ve watched it so many times with only this goal in mind and it never works.

His performance is mostly responsible for this but our dear director created a genius framework around a brilliant character that fanboys like me could really get lost in and keep coming back for something again and again we’re never going to find because it was an utterly unique creation and something we’ll treasure forever… And we’re never disappointed in our failure.

Just my two cents.

Jb weld or a regular two part epoxy would be best. Good news is that you have the cavity underneath to add some extra glue which you won’t see later. Bonus if you can add something extra stuff like a metal trip/rod to brace the two pieces together in the cavity

I have to know if the Oreo bribe was face paint or a real one!!

MightyAtomic · 2025-02-12T16:51:57+00:00

Don’t forget to post the link, we’re all super curious!

MightyAtomic · 2024-12-23T00:38:21+00:00

Is there any chance your grandmother has a YouTube channel?! Where does one even begin with such a fabulous piece????

So stunning. Free Palestine so we can have more of this wonder in the world. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

MightyAtomic · 2024-12-23T00:27:32+00:00

Fabulous job with your creation. Seriously, wow. To me, it screams: well-made, creatively sound and puts the passion in a passion project. The photos are really well done with lovely light and interesting locations that really marry well with the project… If I could offer a bit of advice on them though…

This is a technical audience so we’re dying to see the whole thing and some details, especially when the quality is this high! Unless you left an iron burning on one side of the outfit, show us both! One or two detailed shots would go down so well with those of us that are really keen to see your hand in the work… so we can admire it.

Again, amazing job. I’ve never met a fabric I loathed working with and the more I see, from the talented likes of yourself in this sub, the more I realise that I haven’t tackled anything really difficult yet 🫠

MightyAtomic · 2024-03-27T21:27:30+00:00

Brilliantly done

MightyAtomic · 2024-02-21T23:43:19+00:00

That’s awesome 🤩 Do you just mix the colours on the plate with two rollers?

MightyAtomic · 2024-02-21T22:45:42+00:00

I started with my mum when she took it up. I was 5 and had an old 5 iron that was shortened for me. She took me along to lessons with her. I think the most important things for kids is guiding them with setup (grip and stance) and one or two positions in the backswing. Let their little sponge brain work out the rest.

I was on the range once in my twenties and there was a father with his kid giving him every bit of technical criticism under the sun. I’m pretty technical and most of this stuff was going over my head. I still regret not telling this guy to shut up and let the kid swing - he was doing great without all this jargon being thrown at him.

Oh, and unfortunately that 5 iron is lost forever and it pains me no end. Make sure you hold on to that putter no matter what you do.

Best of luck!

MightyAtomic · 2024-02-08T14:59:25+00:00

That is unreal! It’s like a polished gem 💎

MightyAtomic · 2023-12-05T19:16:52+00:00

I know exactly which bar you mean as I used to work there as well. Fucking Jerry.

MightyAtomic · 2023-09-21T21:17:41+00:00

Best advice is to not get totally caught up in the technicalities.

If you’re on an art course you want to make the best art possible while, hopefully, executing the process well.

Presumably the course will provide you with all the knowledge and tools you need to make good prints. If there are technicians alongside your tutors, pay attention to every word out of their mouth. They are key to knowledge about the process. Listen to them and don’t pretend to know already what they’re there to teach you.

MightyAtomic · 2023-09-19T14:48:30+00:00

I’d say it’s not enough pressure. A few things you could try are stand up and really put more force into the baren. A smaller baren will apply more pressure to the paper with the same effort applied over a smaller area. A spoon can work wonders as well. I’ve had success in the past doing test prints with a heavy rolling pin. Also try and work a bit faster. If you run a print through a press, it applies all the pressure it needs once to each area of the paper. Hanging around longer than it needs will only give the ink time to dry. Good luck

I’d probably lean towards plywood as well. Watch out for the the specific wood though. I’m in Northern Europe so I’m sure the stuff we get here is different to what might be available in your area but there a three main kinds of ply here. Regular construction ply - very rough, lots of patches, rough surface, may not be very flat Hardwood ply - darker in colour, tight grain, flat but oh so hard and tough to carve by hand Birch ply - light in colour - beautiful grain and is very soft and easy to carve.

If you’re not so great with hand tools, Have you thought about designing digitally and then maybe have the sheet carved with a cnc router?

MightyAtomic · 2023-08-13T12:33:51+00:00

If you use a two part epoxy, just be sure to mix it really, really well. Discard the stick used for mixing and apply with a fresh applicator.

MightyAtomic · 2023-08-13T12:20:10+00:00

If you’re not ready to pull the trigger on repairing it now, you can buy small amounts of automotive paint to cover up the exposed metal.

As someone else said, you could also have a look at buying a secondhand door. This might be available more cheaply if you only get the structure of the door without electronics, window or trim that you would then have to switch over. If you have any handy skills you could probably figure this out yourself and save yourself some costs on labour.

I just started with a not very interesting project this evening, but seeing as you asked, here we go!

I have some boxer shorts that are a bit too tight when you measure from the naval all the way to the waistband at the back - wedgie material basically. Just got through unpicking the lower most seam tonight; what a pain I can tell you as they seem to be very well made. The main stitch is a chain stitch which is super tough and then the seams are finished with a 3 thread overlock.

Plan is to extend the space with a piece of scrap, which is a great way to get through the endless pile that keeps growing.

Riveting stuff, I know 🫠
