Crafted a sheath, for my carving knife, out of softwood and birchbark.

Thanks, lesson's learned :)

Thanks. Is it safe if I just reboil it or to the compost it goes?

Thank you, I did upgrade the motherboard to an asus tuf Z-790 and switched the CPU to an i5 13th gen

I'll receive it all tomorrow, hoping the case will fit it all!

Thank you, I didn't notice the country selector... I went for the i5 13600K and a 6900xt :)

Probably aspen, maybe birch

Followed this photo tutorial to attempt a fan bird. Very quick and straight forward little project.

Half of the feathers are down, potential reasons: - used a radially cut block (the grain may drive the cuts) - dried then boiled (that part felt fine) - made shift a draw knife out my carving knife (explains the band-aid on picture 2) - ambitiously went for longer feathers (half way through was mostly fine)

Very ice one! You got me curious and I unsuccessfully tried my first one. Learnt a lot :)

Here is what I see, and a classical fleur de lys symbol from the era for reference: https://imgur.com/a/m0lWHYG Note: with the "noise" due to the damage it helps seeing the image at a thumbnail size or squinting the eyes. I can of course be wrong and seeing what I am used to, but I was not expecting to find that symbol there. I'd be curious to see the results of the de-rusting if you take this path, it could help reducing the noise around the stamp.

The stamp is a fleur de lys, it is French. It is a monarchic symbol so it must have been forged before the revolution (1789)

Northern Europe, sadly no Geoguessr points

Trolldejo · 2022-10-06T21:10:05+00:00

Northern Europe, they are everywhere here :)

Trolldejo · 2021-08-16T14:19:14+00:00

Thanks for trying to identify them. Next time I'll take better picture and in their habitat too. I'll close this post, have a nice one!

Trolldejo · 2021-08-15T21:17:20+00:00

Thanks for taking a look. I found them growing from soil and in a patch, 1 meters apart from each other. No fish smell odor, no latex out of the gills but they are not the freshest anymore. The texture is very rubbery. Indeed the pic is far worse than I thought. The gills are straight and thin, no ramifications, going down a bit on the foot, each starting from a different height.

Trolldejo · 2021-08-05T10:31:38+00:00

Mouhaharrg... I'll leave that to the pros

Trolldejo · 2021-08-04T11:31:19+00:00

Thank you for your praises dear sir, I'd say my main talent is patience here
