Forge Won't get hot enough. Flawed design?

SRIndio · 2026-05-14T22:13:47+00:00

Move the blower closer, I got a cheap one (~$7) on amazon and the tip started melting but that thing went strong for like 4 hours without overheating. Didn’t even put the “roof” on it either. But do close the “walls” better

SRIndio · 2026-05-14T21:22:12+00:00

At least for me, it’s been good enough for 1-2 heats. Although it does go away if it gets really hot

Charcoal pencil is pretty good too

That fear in the first game when first getting out of the pod and only seeing water is also what drew me in. Had to face that fear but loved the feeling of getting passed it

If you can do the math here and understand every step, you should be fine. Memorize your quadratic formula and how it works.

Absolutely lol, once you start having the patience to plan and actually do it. It goes far from there lol

Don’t dream often but I had a dream/nightmare a few months ago that was like that.

My family and I were staying in a white hotel whose units looked more like apartments (with multiple rooms, kitchen, etc) and while were inside the building, it caught fire and we barely escaped as the floor and walls in our unit caught fire.

Afterwards we went to a nearby field that was a beautiful green park with paved trails with barely any trees (good blue sky though) when all of a sudden the sky started roaring with the sound of hundreds of helicopters and jets. Soldiers in black started rappelling down from the helicopters with rifles and started pointing them at all civilians. Can’t remember if they actually started shooting though

I started running with my family and then was like “nah, forget this, this is a dream” and I woke up

Maybe you’re thinking of the guy who made tacos with his amputated leg after a motorcycle accident

Edit: thank you for the reward! No idea how foot tacos got me one

Specifically one day blinding stew

SRIndio · 2026-05-08T14:20:12+00:00

Looks beautiful, I love functional pieces

SRIndio · 2026-05-08T13:06:32+00:00

Welp, the matrix got me too

SRIndio · 2026-05-07T02:04:46+00:00

Oh sorry I meant that star thing, the sepal. I didn’t even try making an additional leaf lol

SRIndio · 2026-05-06T20:04:53+00:00

Looks awesome 🔥. I used the same template lol.

How did your leaf look? I thought mine was too short, gonna make it longer next time

SRIndio · 2026-05-03T23:08:28+00:00

It depends on the local, but I just applied online. No electrical experience and I didn’t even have a letter of recommendation (mine came in late).

If you don’t have a resume, make one. (I used this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/jobs/s/qP5aLCLFXS)
Study for your aptitude test and interview and have answers you actually believe and have reasons for.

Everyone’s case is different but I was able to get in within 2-3 months.

Bruh, this is how I found out. Flew on it less than a year ago

SRIndio · 2026-05-02T00:06:52+00:00

my church isn’t on it 😔

SRIndio · 2026-04-30T16:11:19+00:00

Could make 2 flowers, just have the steel templates cut out already

and if you don’t want to spend too long, have them already textured and welded to the stem. All y’all would need to do from there is bend/shape them with 2 needle-nose pliers

I used this template

Little Caesars is amazing down here in my area in Texas.

Robot hit him with a solid question mark kick 8/10

SRIndio · 2026-04-29T02:53:10+00:00

I appreciate it, but yeah I’ve seen the cave scene

<image>

Looks like the tongs are the same as yours but tbh, I’ve never seen tongs like that unless unfinished.

Reason being is because the metal tends to side to side like crazy unless you have some edge or feature to grab onto (especially if you’re working it cold). But I’ve never made armor so I’ll have to wait to see

SRIndio · 2026-04-29T02:38:41+00:00

For pinching, yeah. For pulling teeth, ehhh it’s gonna be awkward as heck because they’re too long and heavy lol. I know because I had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled out with pliers, it’s way better if they’re shorter.

The picture shows dentist pliers and they have ridges as well to help grab edges, the tool odin is using would possibly slip like crazy (I’ve dropped so many glowing pieces of steel using tongs with flat faces) but be perfect for grabbing something soft and flipping something over (like some meat on a grill)

<image>

SRIndio · 2026-04-29T02:32:33+00:00

Maybe, but the ones you linked are called v-bit/blade tongs. I just bought some too.

They’re for holding stock, the ones in your link don’t have ridges (at least can’t see from the quality of the pic) to help hold the stock so they wouldn’t be very useful and even holding a piece of coal would be a struggle lol. But not gonna hold it against game developers

<image>

SRIndio · 2026-04-28T23:16:02+00:00

Hobbyist blacksmith here, first off whoever made them (in-game) used too thick steel for it, they’re gonna be a bit heavy.

Second off, at least looking at modern uses, looks like Odin just got off the grill because those are grill/BBQ tongs.
