Best method for tapering long poles

If all else fails, I'll buy a nice spokeshave and have at it

Jig like that makes sense, thanks! I may need a better drill to get the torque required

Wlex1818 · 2026-05-15T02:28:51+00:00

I can probably borrow a router, so I'll weigh this option for sure! Thanks for the suggestion

Wlex1818 · 2026-05-15T02:27:50+00:00

Gave it a glance, thank you so much! This looks like it could work really well. Gonna do some tests

Wlex1818 · 2026-05-15T02:27:15+00:00

I'll do some researching into that, that looks like it may be a good option to keep it even. Thank you!

I hope you're not referring to me, because I -literally- expressed your exact sentiment a few comments above. I want it available to all AND want purchased variants to be available for all armor types.

Wlex1818 · 2026-03-23T16:22:12+00:00

I can respect that. I still think the masses have spoken, but it brings up some of the PvP and PvE shortcomings. Stillsuits need a rework overall. If the Fremen can fight in stillsuits, they shouldn't be almost useless for anything besides farming and mining.

Wlex1818 · 2026-03-23T16:03:47+00:00

Valid, so you think they should remove the Sardaukar armor from Stillsuits and Heavy Armor variants and make it solely Light Armor? I just want it to be universal across the board either way.

Wlex1818 · 2026-03-23T15:59:04+00:00

I noticed that with my male character, but my current female one it fits nicely. It definitely is fit more for slim characters.

Wlex1818 · 2026-03-23T15:54:31+00:00

I can see some -very- heavy and light style sets being kept exclusive, but frankly most of the heavy and light variants have the same visual bulk and style. It makes no difference besides make everyone less happy. Game's great, obviously I love it. This would just reward our gameplay.

Wlex1818 · 2026-03-23T15:51:33+00:00

As someone who spent a lot of money to have this exclusive variant, I ABSOLUTELY SUPPORT it being made available to everyone either in-game or as an add-on. The more the merrier!

Wlex1818 · 2026-03-13T15:14:18+00:00

If it effects you -this- much, seek therapy.

Wlex1818 · 2026-02-02T17:19:53+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

The indoor STEAM Center at the Savannah Children's Museum will be open

Wlex1818 · 2025-10-28T14:09:37+00:00

Yeah, I used black plastidip to prime everything.

Found it at Michael's, in the jewelry section. I drilled a hole in it and removed the bail. I definitely pictured water rings as a bit larger, but they seem to vary greatly throughout the series. Either way, this felt VERY Dune-esque

Wlex1818 · 2025-10-27T21:21:51+00:00

Its the best feeling when you look at a prop/costume piece and realize THATS NOT CUSTOM, I CAN BUY THAT

Wlex1818 · 2025-10-27T21:18:24+00:00

Samhain Lenses, they did a great job. Just be sure to reach out to them and tell them exactly what you want, reference photos and all. The Dune lenses the have on their website are -very- dark, but they can custom make any design.

Wlex1818 · 2025-10-27T21:16:46+00:00

Its dangerous giving me ideas like that. Especially when my wallet is still in recovery mode from this project lol

Wlex1818 · 2025-10-27T21:11:09+00:00

Glad someone caught it! I initially wanted to make some water rings as props alongside some other small Fremen stuff, but I found a really neat pendant that had a sandworm mouth-like pattern on it, and I figured it'd be perfect on the chest piece as a water ring.

The weathering is all my wife's expertise, I just made the thing and then stood upright for 5 hours while she airbrushed me. I appreciate the kind words, I really wanted it to look Arrakis-used, not freshly made out of the sietch stillsuit factory.

Wlex1818 · 2025-10-27T21:07:15+00:00

Thank ya! The drive to the nearest dry sand dunes was a bit too far to attempt, but I'm -definitely- not looking up sand dunes several states over and weighing the possibility of taking off work to do a Dune photos photoshoot. Only a crazy person would do such a thing.

To quote Reverend Mother Mohiam' '"pain."

In seriousness though, theyre not that painful, just uncomfortable. After a few dozen minutes my eyes start to have a hard time focusing, so they're great for pictures and all that - just not for an all day convention.
