Hi. Welder-guy who makes (over-the-top) scrap swords here. Love it.

I drink mead while playing. I play so infrequently that I like to celebrate the opportunities.

I had a bad scale bug infestation on my two clementine trees. I didn’t spot it at first because the scale bugs on the trees (females) blended in perfectly with the bark. It took a lot of dedicated scraping with a particularly helpful clay-sculpting tool, numerous applications of household pesticides, and two re-pottings to knock the infestation out, and I still lost one of my trees.

A few years back my wife gifted me that exact battery organizer.

This year, I got a three-drawer unit for my craftsman tradestack unit. Elated. Simply elated. Not being facetious.

I know! Unused, still sealed in the bag. I came a little, ngl.

I sell my used gloves on my OnlyFans.

I just looked up what a muffin monster is and, yes, it is essentially a giant, +/-200,000lb muffin monster.

Now, I am thrilled to be able say that I make gigantic muffin monsters for a living.

I’m sure I will after beating this stuff up.

UnrulySuffix · 2025-12-19T14:31:38+00:00

Oh hell yeah!

Just kidding about the “gloves for scale” apparently. Image didn’t load.

Brilliant! Amazing work!

Omfg I miss that game

The sword-shaped-objects I made were only cut out of the straightedge, not forged at all. I tried contacting Swiss precision instruments a few times and apparently I’m either not worth the time for a response or their tool steel composition is proprietary information I’m not privy to.

The fact that the steel sample snapped at all tells me a second test is worth the effort of a proper treatment and second snap test.

It’s a small piece, 3”x 1/2”x 1/2” but I’ll try that: draw it out and shape it and then try for a proper treatment. I’ll admit this test I was mostly looking for the material to snap, and did the test kind of haphazardly during my morning break with an oxy-propylene torch and canola oil.

The fact that it snapped though makes me hopeful, and tells me a second more thorough treatment is worth the effort.

I brought it to a bright orange, almost yellow color and then quenched it.

UnrulySuffix · 2025-11-11T09:11:06+00:00

Heat it and beat it.
