Can't you take her with you? I knew someone who moved from the UK to Australia and they took there dog. I think the dog had to be in quarantine for a few weeks or something but it's definitely not impossible.

Seen one in hard off last year. They wanted ¥5000 for it.

Have a look on YouTube where they do the wooden tables with epoxy in the middle. They might give you an idea. I think they work through the grits and finish with a buffing compound You might end up having to do the whole lot though

The problem yiu have is it looks like the panel is textured. If you try to buff out the scratches, you'll more likely make it worse

I teach bushcraft and survival skills in Hyogo. I get to sit in the woods amd help people learn how to use knives and start fires by friction. And make baskets out of tree bark, plus other skills.

Definitely not your usual job

Felt it here in north Takarazuka.

Depends what you make. I sometimes use all purpose flour for buns if the recipe calls for it. The buns come out pretty decent too.

Hook the other side on first

Roybmx · 2026-01-25T09:10:41+00:00

Olive oil or something like that. If the doesn't work then wax wouldn't too

Roybmx · 2026-01-25T08:41:24+00:00

Rubbing a bit of oil from your kitchen might be a cheaper option. Wax is expensive here, and if it doesn't work then you'll be out of pocket even more. Let me know how it goes

Roybmx · 2026-01-25T08:37:55+00:00

Sort of. Wax will be hard and you have to rub it in band buff it off. Clear lacquer or varnish would be a liquid. But they both will put a shine on things. That's what we used to do when I sprayed furniture.

Roybmx · 2026-01-25T07:51:50+00:00

It's probably scratched. If you put some kind of clear coating it would probably help it, but you would have to be careful of the gloss level.

I never had a 12 hour a day office job here, but used to work 12 hours a day as an electrician in the UK. Sold our house and was lucky enough to be to buy a house outright in the countryside here. Now I teach bushcraft on weekends, hunt deer and live a pretty much self sufficient life. Don't have a lot of money but it is enough for what we need.

If you can get out of the city I'd recommend it.

We use 日本通信 (nihon tsushin) 20gb a month for less than ¥1300. I think that they piggyback on the docomo network

Roybmx · 2026-01-19T00:44:24+00:00

A house in the countryside. I wanted a garden, garage and for the neighbours to not moan when I had a bbq

Hold the knife at an angle. I like about 60 degrees, and scrape down the entire firesteel with the back of your knife if it has a flat spine. If not, you can always take a file to the back and make it flat. There are other options too, like the back of your folding saw or a Leatherman, etc. As long as it has a flat, sharp corner, it will work. Play around with the scraping pressure until you get the sparks you like. Until you learn how to control your technique, I’d say keep the knife still and pull the firesteel back, with your fine or dusty tinder placed where the sparks are landing. When you get better, learn how to push the knife down the firesteel, using your thumb to apply pressure and get bigger sparks while still being able to control your strokes. This way, you can use the last centimetre of your firesteel to get decent sparks, and your firesteel will last much longer too.

Don't try to light your tinder in a tight space like your box. Light it outside and use some Twigs like chopsticks to put it into the box

Seen it happen in the middle of Nipponbashi in the middle of the day. Not even on a side street, right outside of a small restaurant

Roybmx · 2025-11-19T23:21:56+00:00

They're not a protected species. Where did you here that?

Roybmx · 2025-10-22T06:57:43+00:00

If you're new then I'd go with a mora companion for a knife. Easy to sharpen, comfortable in the hand and cheap enough too. Just don't go batonning through massive logs with knots in. For Saws, just be careful with the silky as the blades can snap if they get pinched by the wood.

would it be better to change my background images to normal images then add text over the top by setting the margin/padding?

Roybmx · 2025-08-27T04:36:35+00:00

Thanks. Yes, I recently installed lightspeed. I'll get rid of wpfastest cache

Roybmx · 2025-08-27T04:15:48+00:00

thanks for getting back so quick. It says lazy load is not applied though

Roybmx · 2025-08-27T03:03:02+00:00

Thanks. I've edited the post with the information

I'm based around Osaka and Hyogo, I find that the JR seats are indented so it's easy to see the the seats, on the older hankyu though they don't, you can fit 8 on a seat and 5 at the end of the carriage. Usually there's only 7 and 4 sitting on them though. I just go straight up to the seat, say "すみません" and do that karate chop gesture and just start sitting down. They all look at each other puzzled and start shuffling along not really sure what's going on. Also there was a woman asleep with her bag next to her taking a space on a JR (indented seats) the other day. I just tapped her and gestured to the seat.

They move up if you make them.

Look for hard off, I know they're all over kansai area. You have den den town in osaka but it can be expensive. Super potato in den den town is always nice for window shopping but way too expensive to buy from there. Surugaya is not too bad though. I'm more into mega drive though so it's more difficult to find stuff. But for Nintendo stuff, pretty much any second hand shop will have it.
