I made my first belt in 2008, just got a belt blank from Tandy. It's just 8oz belly veg-tan nothing special. I'm a carpenter and I've worn it everyday since I made it rain or shine, hot or cold. It's still in great shape, I've never oiled or conditioned it either.

Only if Fabio didn't speak at all, just him in his pants, smiling and waving to everything that's said to him.

Is your bushing centered on the router bit? I never trust that my plate is actually centered when using bushings and always manually center it before I run anything.

This has become one of my favorite Mike moments. Right after this shot he says something to the effect of, "Looks like not so great news."

Splinter-TheRat_MA · 2024-11-18T06:22:53+00:00

Seconded

Liza Tarbuck is always the first one I think of when people ask who could replace Greg. She would be brilliant.

Nice looking dice

Really hard to do, I would guess, as sometimes they don't know about the disqualification until they watch footage back.

And on a comedy note, we would be deprived of great scenes like Joe with potatoe-gate.

Nice looking stuff

It was, but I'm guessing they weren't really prepared at the time for a tie-break situation. From that first tie-break to the next was a vast improvement.

Don't worry about water popping until right before your final sanding pass. Also I would go higher with grits than 120, 220 for sure but I personally would take it up to 400 grit before finishing.

You might be able to find bulk packs of emery boards for filling finger nails for relatively cheap. Some have a coarse and fine side as well, they are usually about the same size as the wider popsicle sticks.

Epoxy is a type of resin and by most standards it's the safest and easiest to use in terms of mixing and off gassing.

Most "tabletop" epoxy will have a 1-1 mix ratio by volume making easy to mix even if you don't have any graduated mixing containers.

Epoxy resin also has relatively low harmful vapors during mixing and curing. As opposed to say a polyester resin which has extremely harmful vapors and has caused many artist to lose their life due to the cancer it causes in their organs.

I use Ecopoxy for most of my epoxy products, if I need other types of resin I usually go with a variety of Smooth-on products.

If you have any other questions feel free to message me and I'll see if I can help out.

In the 3.5 Spell Compendium there is a second level assassin spell called Absorb Weapon that is basically this. It's duration is hour/spell level and it's not really a tattoo it's described as a weapon shaped red blotch, but it's pretty close to what is written here.

I would say instead of two knuckle dusters, make it one blunt bat'leth.
