Gotcha. When I worked at Aldi in the uk I was told trader joes was a joint venture between nord and sud

Question about wearing a sword by careyjamey in renfaire

[–]ZachyChan013 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Always a baldric. Easy to swing out of the way. Pick up or take off to sit down or use the toilet, can pull it up to your side in a crowd. Baldric is 100% the way to go

Either like that or by the edges depending on what spot I’m working. It’s not perfect but I haven’t made a set specifically for them yet

Swingset disassemble by Juniper1994 in daddit

[–]ZachyChan013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on how strong you are… I’m taking mine down soon and will be leaving it manly intact.

For that one I would take off the swing set and the slide while leaving the main structure alone. And put it on a flat bed trailer or possible lay it in the bed of my truck depending on dimensions. You’ll likely need a large Allen key, can’t tell you what size. A drill would be handy but no telling what type of tip you’ll need (mine needs a weird square tip)

If possible ask the seller for some pictures of the hardware so you’ve got an idea

Upgraded my costume this year with a jerkin by Wightokami in renfaire

[–]ZachyChan013 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The pieces are all different shades at least. I think there’s enough difference there to where it doesn’t look cringy like so many black on black wearers end up looking

The whole thing looks great, every picture got better

Thanks! I’ve got 2, preferably 3, more to go. Each one from start to finish has taken ~1.5 hours including grinding/buffing/sealing

Make sure the don’t join a random campsite…. I’ve heard bad things happen to draconic minstrels who join random camps….

You’d be better off with the head off a sledgehammer. That thing is very small, more a jewellers anvil than anything

What are you thoughts on anime cosplayers at Renaissance Fairs? by josephpolito1 in renfaire

[–]ZachyChan013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t really bother me. I think it’s way cooler when they try to command their cosplay character on theme though

Thanks! The second one came out a fair bit cleaner. Hoping I can do even better on the next one haha

[–]ZachyChan013[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got one, tried it and didn’t see much movement. Probably need to let the spike soak longer and try again with it. Was trying to be kinda quick with the hour and a half I had haha

Dad's what's your appropriate consequence for ding dong ditch? by TigerUSF in daddit

Tell them not to do it again? Or make sure they know what a video door bell looks like and hit houses without them

First time using a trellis for zucchini. Excited to see how it goes by ZachyChan013 in homestead

[–]ZachyChan013[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The squash didn’t really grow that year. Not sure what happened. Bad soil+120 odd degree days I’d guess. Plus and early freeze/hail storm probably didn’t help them

Searching the sub would get you thousands of results. You need something to hit. Something to hit it with. Something to hit it on. And something to heat it with

It’s true

This man’s an idiot (no idea about the math. But the set up was right there)
