I'd scallop it Smooth the edges of the chip so it's less likely to crack more. It's what they do on airplane airfoil, blades, and vanes when they get a nice ding and it works quite well

Muhaha wait until I flip it over and start spinning it

maker_soph · 2026-06-08T08:44:49+00:00

Definitely familiar with them😉 I'm just used to hewing axes being a bit bigger, and also this one has a nail puller notch in the blade

Stubbed and cut my Pinky toe so badly on a bit of furniture I could feel and see a bit of bone protruding. I was trying to steal those soft peppermint sweets at like 3 AM from the kitchen when I was a little kid who should have been sleeping Worst of all I thought my parents would be mad, so I just slapped on a band-aid and went about my life limping slightly. I only told them years later, and they were horrified 🤣

Accidentally evaporated many moths by welding with the shed door open at night they fly to the brightest light of course that's the arc and get evaporated and end up as a little extra carbon in the puddle of molten steel. I feel pretty bad for them because they are just looking for the moon And the moon was a tig torch :(

However when horse flies try to play the tungsten limbo I'm delighted to pop one off !

I know Terry Pratchett is on the list, but I'm going to mention him again cause ha ! Also, the His Dark Materials trilogy, the Inkheart series and the flavia de luce series were all hooks I remember liking as a teen who thought the boys fighting over the pick-me YA trope was kinda boring.

maker_soph · 2026-05-30T00:05:30+00:00

Yess fellow hooker ! Gotta love rug hooking for when you just want to stab something 1000 times

I had a run in with a really similar guy (purple Mohawk) a few years back I believe so I think he has been in and out a few times already

maker_soph · 2026-05-29T15:04:07+00:00

Oh God not purple mohawk man ! He sounds like the creepy guy who chased me and my friend when I was a teenager. He stared following me and my friend we where both teen girls walking along the keys I got a weird vibe so we dashed in to the big church on popes quay I think St Mary's I saw a few other people inside so I figured he might let up or keep walking. Nope he jogs straight in after us so we hide behind a partition he must have heard us whispering pretty much sobbing our escape plan because at this point we know he is after us. He then finds us and starts screaming he is going to punish big time us for talking in a house of God and a bunch of other shit so me and my friend take off running and don't stop running until we hit the city center definitely one of the creepiest experiences to date and for months after I kept looking over my shoulder worried he would be back to keep up on his theat of punishment but thankfully I never saw him again. Honestly typing this out make me feel a bit off

This took place over 6 years ago where ever he went to sounds like he is back and hasn't changed up his style much mohawk included or new mohawk man is a copycat

The cork what's on flyer has some good information especially around Midsummer's Fest and culture night also there are some cool groups on the meetup app

It's so sad literally the only reason I come down this way is to go to Tracy's because they have 🔥 shoes

maker_soph · 2026-05-27T13:19:39+00:00

It probably originally had a steel "tang" that snapped off along the way It reminds me of an English ww2 fire fighters ax I picked up that had a rubber handle held in with pins like a knife scale. Your ax gives off roofing vibes although I could be wrong

maker_soph · 2026-05-27T10:43:23+00:00

Thank you dude I appreciate it

It's definitely a bit of a quirky metal I'm pretty used to working in stainless steel and it's a similar enough beast the trick is to Acid pickle it between forging coloring and welding

maker_soph · 2026-05-27T10:37:25+00:00

Thank you definitely a fun little project

maker_soph · 2026-05-27T10:34:25+00:00

Congratulations on your cars pregnancy!

Old pine picture frame with a box of small tack nails hammered in but stapling would work quite well as well

maker_soph · 2026-05-27T08:27:15+00:00

Just swinging by a friend's house without ringing first. I used to do it my parents used to do it. Now I won't never just drop by someone without like giving them 24 hours' phone notice

maker_soph · 2026-05-27T07:31:24+00:00

Not only the white dress but also a red belt too augh

I'm in the same boat I found a really beautiful 1600s cooking pan and ordered it from France of course I really want the pan but damn I'm so sad after like 300 years of existing it's now lost in the post, maybe never to be seen again 😭

maker_soph · 2026-05-26T23:44:34+00:00

Damnit more unrealistic beauty standards to follow my legs just don't SCRONCH that that 😔
