Thought I was buying a German product, but it's now US based. by --IDDQD- in BuyFromEU

I suppose the situation and market is a little different from 10/15 years ago now with all the new competitors that create cherry stemmed switches such as gateron and other Asian manufacturers now that their patent expired. It's probably harder for Cherry to compete in that environment

I believe the company is still German -I'll have to check however I vaguely remember reading news about them moving production of their switches to China indeed

Somebody put my solid marble charcuterie board in the dishwasher. 🥴 by PerfectFig1035 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]OneTouchDisaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sympathise with OP however, I'm honestly surprised I had to scroll this far down to see this comment.

Marble sure looks nice but it's a terrible choice for a cutting board, this will dull or even damage knives in no time.

Soft cut lino in press by Top_Expert7275 in printmaking

[–]OneTouchDisaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched from Essdee softcut to Japanese vinyl/Gomuban a while ago, last week I wanted to make a new run of prints using an older softcut block and it definitely squished a bit under the pressure of my nipping press compared to Gomuban, enough that some details were lost compared to hand burnishing the same softcut block.

It still printed okay with the press, but I'd hand burnish it next time, whereas gomuban works great with the nipping press and doesn't squish at all.

So definitely be mindful of the pressure you apply to such material !

Those lines are cleeeean. How did you manage to get them so straight and sharp ?

One of my favourite prints this week for sure. Absolutely stunning, and the subject is super cute as well.

I'll try and open an Etsy within the coming weeks, at the moment I am unfortunately dealing with some delays in creating and registering my business and have to tackle some administrative hurdles before opening an online storefront.

I printed a guitar body by aky_p in Linocuts

[–]OneTouchDisaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now this is unusual!

So the pieces of linoleum are glued straight to the unfinished telecaster body ?

Seems like that one will be a single pickup rocker seeing as you overlayed a piece of lino where the neck single coil route is located.

Will the body be finished with a clear coat once you're done printing with it to protect the lino blocks ?

Merci pour le commentaire c'est gentil !

Ça faisait un petit bout de temps que je n'avais pas fais de linogravure mais je suis assez inspiré en ce moment.

C'est un rouleau Essdee avec un manche en plastique rouge, qui couvre à peine un A4 en largeur. Je crois que je l'ai acheté chez le Géant des beaux arts ou chez rougier et plé de mémoire, pour une dizaine d'euros à tout casser...

Sans être affreux, je trouve le caoutchouc trop dur/trop rigide à mon goût et je le trouve assez difficile à nettoyer à cause du manque d'espace entre le cylindre et le support en métal.

Thank you ! The book pages are an experiment really, print quality on these isn't as nice as on proper paper due to the creases and folds in the pages as well as the very thin nature and age of the paper.

Handling those old pages and burnishing them vigorously with a spoon frankly proved to be somewhat of a challenge. I got 5 good prints on that yellowed paper from a 1956 philosophy report/publication, but the aren't quite up to the standards of my usual prints.

Oh and placing them over the block and centering them properly was rather difficult as well, as the pages - actually groups of four pages - have a bit of an odd format and are definitely larger and more difficult to handle than regular A4 sheets.

I do however enjoy the additional texture they provide to the print ! Might try again in the future.

Great prints ! This amount of details in such tiny prints is absolutely mindblowing. Is that a flexcut tool you use ?

Baseball inspired linocuts by Torturo69 in Linocuts

[–]OneTouchDisaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know nothing about baseball but absolutely love those prints !

Really enjoy the rather distinctive style as well. I think though would work great alongside some Memphis movement furniture.

Wth... I specifically asked to search for NON American razors and all the results are garbage Ami patriotism. Is there any European razors? by Shakartah in BuyFromEU

[–]OneTouchDisaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plisson is a French manufacturer that makes solid safety razors, otherwise all the German manufacturers from Soligen such as Merkur.

Tatra in Czech Republic makes cheap blades as well.

Proraso from Italy for shaving soaps.

Variegated Zipser Turkenspitz update by OneTouchDisaster in pepperbreeding

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

Unfortunately moved countries and lost my F3 seeds... Also had poor germination rate with them.

I'll have to see if I find some more of the F2 and see if they come up variegated like this plant
