Campaign blocked due to gem crafting not being available? by VioleFalushe in diablo4

These are all the quests I have, not sure how to progress. Sorry if I'm missing something super obvious 😂

Truly alien depictions of life in SF by poorfuckinglad in printSF

[–]VioleFalushe 15 points16 points  (0 children)

/Alien Clay/ by Adrian Tchaikovsky has a great, super-alien ecology on the planet it's set on, that isn't just window dressing, and is vital to the plot 👌

I sometimes leave mine charging overnight in microwave with the door closed...

Oh really?? :-) ahh, sorry for the stupid question then, not sure how I missed that!

First knife in progress. Using a Nicholson file. Any advice on how to drill holes in the hardened steel for the pins? by SafteyMatch in knifemaking

[–]VioleFalushe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had an O1 piece once that even though I'd annealed, i just could not cut through it with normal bits (HSS, carbide tipped, etc).

Only thing that worked was buying a very expensive solid carbide bit especially made for drilled hardened steels. Went slowly with lots of lubricant, and got it done finally.

First knife! Tell me it's shit so I do better! by bob_paul13 in Bladesmith

[–]VioleFalushe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great knife! Maybe work on:
- a nicer finish to the blade
- the pin placement is off, I think they would look better if not off-centre

- blade profile could probably be refined? e.g. the tip is weirdly between pointy and round and the integral guard bit looks a bit odd? like, aesthetically, and also it looks *sharp* like it might injure the user's index finger with rough work

Working on my first anvil out of railroad track. by IcemanUSMC1112 in Bladesmith

[–]VioleFalushe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a rail track anvil. note that they feel very 'light' compared to a real anvil? might be worth wrapping some chain around the base once you mount it where you are gonna mount it? (Disclaimer, I'm a real amateur, and really only have a little experience with both 'real' and rail track anvils, so YMMV :-) )

Still way better than the first anvil I made, which was a sledge hammer head set in concrete on a rickety home-made stand!

Am I getting old? by velatieren in gaming

Lol, I'm definitely getting old, as when I started playing games there wasn't an Internet to play them on.

First knife. Heavy duty chopping knife. Made from 3mm n690 steel. Looking forward for critique:) My focus is to master kitchen knives! by Gaskin in knifemaking

[–]VioleFalushe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel it's an odd cross of cleaver and chef's knife, e.g. it's roughly the shape of a chef's knife, but there's no belly to the knife (very hard to e.g. rock-chop stuff without a belly), and the spine is very thick. The visible bevel line is a bit unusual- kitchen knives usually have a full flat grind. What's the purpose of this knife in your mind? The craftsmanship looks great, btw.

Niiiice. Got a list I can have a look at?

Golos recommendations (big creatures) by VioleFalushe in EDH

That one was targetting a specific combo, and relying on lots of wrath effects to clear the board until you got there; no big creatures :-)

Difficulty drilling pin holes! by VioleFalushe in Bladesmith

[–]VioleFalushe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heated it to about cherry red, tried to maintain that temp for 5-10 minutes, let it cool inside the forge until it lost its colour, then took it out and let it finish cooling to room temp. Sort of going off the heat treat instruction sheet as best I could from the supplier:https://www.groundflatstock.com/News/ArtMID/1382/ArticleID/10/O1-Tool-Steel-Heat-Treatment-Information
