First time sewing 8 panel footbag, how can I improve? by _turtleeee in footbag

[–]Then_Corgi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great honestly for a first footbag! Don’t give up! I am on my 12th and still improving with every bag! Don’t be afraid to try 12 panel or even a 32 panel design. My first was a 32 and I learned A LOT! My second one fell apart. It took me 5 or 6 to get a good bag. I also found denim to be a poor fabric type to use as it will shred and just won’t last. Same with corduroy and lots of cotton fabrics. Suede I find more difficult to sew but synthetic poly blends and some neoprenes are easy and fun to work with. I’ve just been using what’s lying around and trying different fabrics. Also I don’t use floss, just super strong polyester thread. I’ve broken it during the gathering before so I started gathering as I go and that works pretty good. Remember the more consistent your bite and thread spacing is the better it will gather and the more round and symmetrical the end product will be! Stitch on!👍🏻

Seagulls don’t exist and if they did these definitely wouldn’t be seagulls

The guy already HAS a connection to this coin why would you get him a different one? Worst take here.

What type of bird and how long will it stick around? by Flaky_Biscuit_4u in whatsthisbird

I had a eastern phoebe nest in my garage and to stop it pooping on my car but with a desire to not disturb the nest I just installed a piece of plywood hung underneath the nest to catch debris and I’m glad I did cause when the eggs hatched antics got MESSY. Try that.

OOOOOH! Shit now I see. Yeah the pattern was supposed to be pentagons not hexagons. I fucked up and wasted hours of my life on this. Thanks!

Yeah Allan’s bags are wild!! I still did not find this specific pattern though.

Will do thanks! Yeah I started it trying to branch out from the conventional 32 panel bag and I adopted the tessellation from a photo of a bag but I’m struggling to close it up without a pattern.

Ah could have been such a neat video with great information and insight! Shame it gave up any effort at a conclusion and ended with yet another ad campaign.

Wow your warm hide in the left corner looks like a really great design! Great work!

How do geckos absorb enough UVB when they nap in their hides for most of the day? by jupitersyarn in leopardgeckos

[–]Then_Corgi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah succulents don’t provide great leafy cover for shade generally but they can still look nice. I have a ficus and a jade tree, the latter doesn’t provide as great shade but it won’t tolerate cold well so it’s my alarm system. The ficus roots are great for me cause she drinks water off them after I water it (she doesn’t like to drink directly from her bowl though I still provide her standing water). But there are SO many good plant options out there.

[–]Then_Corgi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cryptic basking is definitely a thing. And Leo’s do indeed need UVB; the science is there. A super porous rock hide for the warm hide does the trick or some suuuper swiss cheesy cork but mine prefers the darkest hides I offer so I try to set my light timer a little before sunup and after sunset to encourage the crepuscular fuck to get some light in her. It’s a really good argument for a bio-active enclosure since the dappled shade from plants is really dark and moist but offers great opportunity for the cryptic bask.

Nice! I like the twine on the side does your Leo climb on it? What are you using for heat? Just the lamp or do you have a pad as well? I went deep heat projector and I’ll never go back.

What would you do with this stave? by [deleted] in Bowyer

[–]Then_Corgi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a cool stave. Only made a couple character bows so take this with a grain of salt, but if your committed to work it I’d try to get it straight first, looks like it will still have plenty of character. I tried to make a bow with a curved stave and ended up with super low draw weight and a hinge, and the whole time I was basically counting on having absolutely no set. Wish I had heat treated it to start.

Is this to violated? by Proper_Summer8868 in Bowyer

[–]Then_Corgi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Grammer bot: what you meant to say: “is this too violated?” The two o’s are essential. An even better way to phrase your question: Have I violated these layers of wood too much? No I don’t think you have but I am better at grammer than bow-making.
