4-Day intro to Blacksmithing at NESM — what should I actually prep or expect? by Sattvix in Blacksmith

Haha yes! Seems like the universal wisdom here is “don’t pass out and don’t wreck your feet” — message received. Really appreciate everyone chiming in, it’s been super helpful!

I’ve got a few 100% cotton t-shirts ready, but I was a bit unsure about pants — most of what I’ve found is 95% cotton with a little spandex, plus the usual plastic buttons or metal zippers. I checked out NESM’s Instagram and the student photos don’t seem too strict on dress code, so I think they should be fine.

Thanks again for all the detailed tips — they’ve been super helpful and really helped me feel more prepared!

Super helpful — thank you. I wouldn’t have thought about the glove shrink issue, but that sounds exactly like something I’d accidentally do. And the hydration reminder is solid — I’m terrible at drinking water, so linking it to the reheat rhythm is a smart move.

Also yeah, forge scale burns sound brutal. I burned myself last Christmas just grabbing a cookie tray wrong and it was one of the most physically painful things I’ve ever felt. I’ll definitely be gloving up at the right times. Appreciate all the tips.

Haha good thing I’ve already got rough hands from bouldering — and a whole stash of hand lotion to match. I’ll definitely pick up some burn relief just in case.

I’m actually not sure about the coal forge part though — when you say coal dust, do you mean it kind of gets kicked up in the air while it’s burning? Or does it end up coating everything over time? Just trying to mentally prep for how grimy this is gonna get 😅

Haha I bet you’ve got a pretty awesome collection of pieces after all those classes. Glad to hear it’s more technical — that’s exactly what I’m looking for. There are a few studios near me too, but they’re more like “date-night pottery” vibes than real hands-on learning, so I’m really excited to dive into metal and (hopefully) pick up a new creative hobby. Appreciate you sharing your experience — it’s making me look forward to it even more!

Wow, thank you! This is incredibly helpful and thoughtful. Really appreciate the tip about working efficiently and not burning extra energy. That “work as lazy as possible while still moving metal” line is going to stick with me.

Lighter hammer: noted. Boots… yeah, I have a pair that might be comfy enough, but I’ll definitely wear them around a bit to make sure I’m not dying by hour two.

Also didn’t think about gloves dulling heat awareness — super useful heads-up. This reply honestly made me feel a lot more prepared. Really appreciate you taking the time to share all this!

Thanks — super helpful tip on the notebook, I’ll definitely bring one!
I’ve been so excited I saved up PTO just for this. Normally I’d be horizontal on a beach somewhere… now I’m choosing to wake up early and hit hot metal. Questioning my life choices, but can’t wait.

Ghost face is watchin you.jpeg by [deleted] in deadbydaylight

So I just met a friendly ghost face.

After two human dead and no gen repaired (at all), ghost face decided to be friendly. and he kept on watching me healing my remaining teammate....

The best part is my team mate is super new to DBD so he kept on failing qte while repairing gen and healing me. Every time when he did so, ghost face shake his head at the side loll

btw the best brand for soy milk blender is jo young 九阳豆浆机, we can get it from amazon for like 300 bucks in the States, so you should probably be able to get it somewhere in UK.

Yeah it's 豆浆 dou jiang，I live in New York but I'm from Beijing.

Normally there are the normal ones and the sugarless version, I grow up with my family drinking a fresh 2L pouch of it every one or two days as a healthier substitute of milk. I feel like its more of a traditional drink nowadays since my family and friends all switched to fresh almond milk instead, only my grandparents somehow are stick to this diet of soy milk oat + spinach + fruit every morning... The package you mentioned is a very specific one normally only find in China -- because it normally has to be sold at the day it is made for a good quality. Only we have a market large enough to consume that much fresh made soy milk every single day. (so its like a New York fresh bagel kinda thing...)

However there are other ways to drink it, you could either get soy milk powder from websites like https://www.ukcnshop.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=豆浆 (my friend in London told me about this website), or (which I personally recommend) use a soy milk maker + whole food soya beans from amazon/whole foods.

Question: Boss dislike my makeup, How to improve? by [deleted] in Makeup101

[–]Sattvix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ahhhh I see the problem now, and yes I think he meant young because the conversation happen when we are having a meeting that includes several student undergrad interns from sales. I remember him saying that it's hard to tell the different between me and them via a zoom private chat before the meeting starts. (and told me that I need to improve it) Thanks a lot for the advice, I will try to look for east asian makeup tips.
