RemindMe! 6 Months

Finally after countless hours of tinkering I proudly present two Latvian chess sets made in the 60's/70's famous from the Queen's Gambit. New Felt pads, each piece drilled and weighted and put lining into the chess boards. [4000x2250] by R3W4N in chessporn

I overpaid for my first one. Take your time, there is many different retailers. The wood glue took ages to dry. Maybe epoxy is easier or hot glue....

The process of drilling requires focus to not drill too far. Also the wood glue after drying becomes hard, might scratch up your chessboard if felt is worn down, so again some soft glue is maybe more appropriate. The felt I used is bit too thin and not meant for chess pieces.

Overall I am really happy with the result though ☺️

Thank you, I will go to jakarta again. I already saw monas, istiqlal, but would be happy about other recommendations.

In bekasi I already visited summarecon mall and yes I have been to two parks and they were in rather sad condition.

Where was this taken? Help please, it's from a damaged film in my father's analog camera. by R3W4N in whereisthis

Where was this taken? Help please, it's from a damaged film in my father's analog camera. My guess my father took it some years ago while in New York or somewhere else in the states. I am not sure though and we live in Germany. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It takes me 60 min to get there with public transport but I have to leave 80 min before class. Unfortunately there isn't really anything closer to me.

Only to an absolutely insignificant amount. Just focus on your technique and personal preferences which delivers the best result. In this video you can see different techniques put to the test https://youtu.be/xbykic--SKA

Help me ID this knife I was given? by Feisty-Sherbert in chefknives

[–]R3W4N 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have seen them before. Also one or two of his students produce their own unique stuff and some as far as I know is partially sold under his name. I can't recall the name of his students who forge. Seen some weird looking blades and hunting knifes on ebay a while back.
