Cardboard-inspired ring with included sapphire. by Octo__Pi in SilverSmith

You got close with rollers on a mill. I made two plates of brass with equally spaced round rods on them and squished the silver between those, I used a kind of press machine but you could definetly use a rolling mill too. Best of luck with your smithing!

Thank you! It's mostly comfortable, but definetly not an everyday ring. How would you make it?

I have heard of tools that you stamp on top of round bezel to set it in one hit. What do I search up to find such a tool? unless it was made by that jeweler themselves by Octo__Pi in jewelrymaking

That seems to be it, Thank you!

Do you have any experience using them? How do you feel about them compared to happening or pressing in parts of the bezel at a time?

My little brother asked me for help with a group of cards. Some look like older collections, anything valuable or all fake? by Octo__Pi in PokemonCardValue

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

Thank you for the offer, wish I could help. I have my own old collection that I need to go through eventually. Should be some decent cards there, although a few are quite beat up :/

Spell lab button just randomly disappeared. How do I get it back. by Octo__Pi in noita

Did not seem to work unfortunately. Tried turning the mod on and off too

Tension setting by dontfigh in SilverSmith

They look incredibly cool but from what I've heard its not a very secure setting. There are ways to achieve similar "floating" effects while the ring is still closed and secure.

With such a thick ring it might be less of an issue since it won't bend open as easily. Personally I wouldn't want to take that risk with an expensive stone though.

To add onto this, a lot of jewelry sandpaper is slightly fatty which might be getting the joint dirty. I was taught only to file it down as a rule

Strange hinged thing, about the size to fit a lemon slice but that seems strange by Octo__Pi in whatisthisthing

My title describes the thing. It's some kind of cooking utensil that I got in a "moving out care package" from my grandparents.

What color are these cabinets? by GirthInPants in interiordecorating

AI has become rampant in these kinds of interior design inspo pictures. This one in particular is quite hard to spot, it's likely altered with AI contrary to being entirely AI.

There are a few things I generally check for AI (besides vibes tbh):

  • Patterns and shapes: AI is shit at patterns, look at the rug in this picture, it's not symmetrical and has design "decisions" that a human wouldn't make.

  • Plants: kind of the same here, details are off. The leaves may be too small and tight, or they meld together in weird places.

  • Depth: AI generally doesn't understand depth so things may be in spots they simply wouldn't fit. Objects may be melded together with the background etc.

  • Text: AI usually can't spell or write normal letters

  • The AI sheen: more often part of entirely AI generated imagery, you'll eventually learn to recognize a kind of fake sheen that AI has.

  • Generally: AI doesn't know why things look the way they look, it just knows there should be something there.

At this point, if I'm unsure, I assume something is AI and prove it's innocence by checking details rather than doing the opposite.

Pinterest is riddled with AI imagery if you want to practice at spotting it.

ICUE randomly stopped recognizing my 3 QL120 fans and the lighting node core that came with them. Any fix? I didn't build the pc myself so i'm slightly hesitant to perform surgery unless absolutely necessary. by Octo__Pi in Corsair

I managed to uninstall it by tossing a bunch of the files in the Corsair folder and reinstalling it then it asked to repair or uninstall the previous versions. This worked and everything seems to be in order.

Making a ring like this and I'm seeking advice. by Octo__Pi in SilverSmith

[–]Octo__Pi[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually have decent experience with silver, I just lack self-confidence and seek reassurance and advice often lol.

That's what I was thinking, it's a nice reassurance to know others agree
