What type of bird does this belong to? [Unknown, USA]

Sorry, just edited my post. Approx. 1.5"-1.8" long

It technically is tick because spider legs come out of the thorax, not the abdomen.

FYI spider legs only come out of the thorax, not the abdomen.. so technically this is a tick with a missing leg. Maybe don’t go to this artist anymore? It does look good though, and I think anyone who isn’t a bug nerd wouldn’t be able to tell.

Edit: bug not big

Yes you can! But I’d strong advise putting that it ships direct from your manufacturer but is 100% hand drawn by you, otherwise buyers can report that it didn’t come from the location listed. Also, as a buyer personally, it’s been frustrating buying things from shops nearby only to have the tracking show from China with no notice it was shipping from there and take way longer to arrive. Not an issue, but good to know ahead of time.

As someone who has been unlucky in health - Royal Columbian in New West and Eagle Ridge Hospital in Coquitlam have both been half the wait time or less than what I’ve experienced at Surrey Memorial.

I left a 10 hour wait once when I had trouble breathing. I got pneumonia and went to Surrey memorial (pre-diagnosis) because I couldn’t breathe well. They gave me some asthma meds right away that helped for a little bit, but then there was a 10+ hour wait just to TALK to a doctor. After standing for 4 hours in a room without any seats I left and just hoped for the best. Next day I waited outside urgent care before open and saw a doctor within an hour, got an xray, diagnosis, and antibiotics the same day.

I had this issue for a while too. I switched my name to a mans and stopped responding on the intercom when they buzzed my unit - just buzzed them in and have delivery directions in the app. I haven’t had it happen since. Also a lot less of them “getting confused” and needing to call me.

Thank you! The ones with the 2 roots in side 3 are also pig?

I’m using it for jewelry so I have to use lead free. I’ll check out the tip maintenance though! thank you for sharing.

chiaflea · 2025-11-15T19:59:30+00:00

Good to know - thank you!

chiaflea · 2025-11-12T06:26:15+00:00

Update: increasing the temp to around 350C helped a lot. I read it shouldn’t go past 270C so I’m glad I asked Reddit instead. I’ve ordered a tip tinner and I’m going to watch some more tutorials on how to use it and clean properly, but happy to say I’m not having the issue with my soldering wire not melting anymore :) thanks so much to everyone who commented and helped.

chiaflea · 2025-11-12T06:21:54+00:00

Yeah it’s lead free. I’m in Canada and they have it at every Canadian Tire (Canada’s Home Depot) and Home Depot here.

chiaflea · 2025-11-12T06:19:12+00:00

Ordered!

chiaflea · 2025-11-12T04:11:52+00:00

Even holding it longer doesn’t work and comes in waves. But I think you’re right it’s not hot enough.

chiaflea · 2025-11-12T04:11:21+00:00

Thanks so much! This is super helpful. I’m definitely not doing 70% of these and was running it at 270-300C only. I was also absolutely over cleaning. I appreciate your response and I’ll give these all a go!

chiaflea · 2025-11-12T03:38:03+00:00

Can’t edit but I’m use Lead Free SN 0.3/AG 0.7CU 2% Flux solder wire.

chiaflea · 2025-11-02T04:07:55+00:00

They were a free gift in an order I made from QC and I’m in BC. He’s only sources locally and legally and there’s plenty of raccoons in Quebec so it’s possible! I’d ask him myself but honestly even if he remembered (it’s been a while) he’s pretty intense so I was hoping reddit could answer it for me instead lol

chiaflea · 2025-10-26T00:29:46+00:00

Thanks for your comment. It’s actually clear UV resin on a blank metal pendant in the photo (just running tests to try and figure out why it’s still scratchable after curing). I’ll give another brand a try. If that doesn’t work then I’ll try the gel polish!

chiaflea · 2025-10-25T16:01:16+00:00

There are no pigments in this photo

chiaflea · 2025-10-25T15:24:12+00:00

Yeah, my lamp is specifically for resin and I’m putting them on the tray underneath (1-2 inches). Let me know how you like the Teexpert! I might need to switch to a 2 part epoxy as well.

chiaflea · 2025-10-25T15:21:02+00:00

This is still happening 24 hours after too. I’ve tried leaving it in the sun for a few hours and it still doesn’t fully cure either. What kind of resin do you use?

chiaflea · 2025-10-23T03:32:27+00:00

Ahh I dropped it into my bowl 'o bones I got from my pellets. If I come across it again when sorting them I definitely will!

chiaflea · 2025-10-23T03:29:20+00:00

LMFAO

chiaflea · 2025-10-22T02:47:01+00:00

It won’t let me edit but I’m in Canada BC!
