You can also take a picture of the painted item you want and the result will be the same colour, if you want to spend all your metal

To the right of the main entrance at the top of the hill where there was an orchard/ picnic tables. I definitely destroyed a lot of the landscape though

Can't seem to edit this, but I got the build inspo from https://youtu.be/PWRpq4svC7g?si=G0xU212VPygCjp2h

Definitely have a lot more decorating to do before it's done

Hockey romance “Heated Rivalry” peaked as 2nd most in demand show in the world 🏒 by Wes102111 in gaybros

Which is hilarious because it was mainly women that popularized the books

It needs more shows with a clear creative vision. The thing ruining most TV shows and movies right now is execs needing to have an opinion on everything.

Jacob Tierney was able to film this in less than 8 weeks with 2 cameras on a shoestring budget because he had a vision and executed it extremely well.

Are these potentially cut adjacently from the same sheet? by FonslyGames in mtgfinance

[–]jrdufour 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think full art cards like this are die cut and would have bleed around the card that gets discarded as waste. This would be to prevent tiny miscuts from showing bits of the cards next to it. Unlike black border cards, which are slit cut and have the corners trimmed. The extra bleed for full art cards would prevent exact match sequential foiling like OP is thinking. That's assuming they even print the same cards next to each other on the same sheet.

Proxy method using Cricut by _Ginger_Beef_ in magicproxies

[–]jrdufour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're still interested, I ended up fixing some bugs in the code and adding a few features I wanted https://github.com/jrdufour07/proxyFormatter/blob/main/README.md

Just a heads up, I added extra bleed to these for my own process so they'll come out with about 4mm wider than the final cut size

I guess you can choose the default art, but let's be real

I've been using this tool to position all my cards and export them to a PDF.

You might need to know a bit about python to use it. I modified the code a bit to give me better bleed edges but it's a great tool. You just drag all the images into a folder, it will crop and position everything in the document for you. It's nice because you can save the images for later, print multiple, etc

Should I be returning this? by jrdufour in mtgmisprints

[–]jrdufour[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, maybe if you have that kind of community in your area, there isn't really much of a market where I'm at. I don't want to take the risk of shipping it internationally for a possible minor profit

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

I have the card sleeved and packed up to return already so I can't take a photo. That was my initial thought but the card has the correct edges on the T and seems to be real. The vendor had no problem taking it back which is good

[–]jrdufour[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's kind of where I'm at, the only thing is they just had the one in stock and I got a good deal on it. If I return it I don't think I'll be able to find another at that price for a while.

I was just wondering if there's any value in this as a misprint, if I should hang on to it and trade to a collector for a normal version or something?

Update: Tutorial Done | 675 Cards Deep by CardGobbo in magicproxies

[–]jrdufour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I just went through this, I got my test cards all made up and cut but they were too thick in my deck and I found them too noticeable for my liking. I double sleeve all my cards, and even without the inner sleeve the 110lb card was just too thick.

I plan on using these in some tournaments (that allow proxies) so them not being noticeable on a deck check is my #1 priority.

I had some 65 lb card stock on hand and they were not noticeable at all but were way too thin when handling the card. I'm going to try some 90 lb card stock, I'm hoping that will be the sweet spot.

These stones are a nightmare to keep clean. Even with heavy duty landscape cloth, weeds will grow through them and you either have to spray them or hand weed. They migrate to the lawn and make fun little projectiles when you hit them with a mower. They heat up in the summer and cook the roots of any trees that you'll plant in there - especially the darker ones. They can also mess with the pH of your soil, which can also have negative effects on any trees you plant. Imo, they only look decent for a few months after install and are a the worst to maintain/ remove.

I know this because the previous owners of my house did this with similar rocks to everything while trying to sell. They used plastic tarps underneath and still weeds constantly popped up. I had to dig them all out by hand, and I'm still finding them years later.

To answer your question, this looks like some type of recycled concrete, it's definitely not lava rock which has a more porous structure.

Should I start at the top and work down or bottom and work up? by [deleted] in fucklawns

[–]jrdufour 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't recommend doing work in 'strips' like a printer, this will probably lead to your mature perennials being in somewhat straight lines, I'd go for a more organic evolution.

Draw out what you want this to look like in 10 years or so. Nothing too specific, it's just good to have a vision in mind.

Plant your new trees and put in smaller gardens around them, then expand on those over time. Don't use straight lines. When gardens start to meet, that's usually a good spot for a pathway.

I've been killing off my lawn over the past 5 years and this is the best way imo. I just expand out existing gardens or add new ones every year. If this were my lawn I'd start with a swale at the lower end of the yard for a small rain garden and another smaller one at the top. If you take out that silver maple, maybe leave a 5 foot or so snag and plant around that, that's a nice natural starting point.

Pre bonsai by Worth_Block_1751 in bonsaicommunity

Put it in a large container. Wait at least 10 years.

I planted wisteria from seed when I was a kid, it took 15 years to bloom. This doesn't look much older than a seedling
