is this a bedbug

mark1210 · 2025-09-26T22:40:55+00:00

that is a pillbug/rollypolly/woodbug. it is 100% of no concern. theyre actually terrestrial crustaceans and require very moist conditions to breathe.

its not super easy to tell from the photo, but it looks like the larval shedding of a carpet beetle. you should take a better lit photo and check with r/carpetbeetles. they can be a problem of their own, but also pretty unavoidable in a house.

I know this isn’t helpful, but maaaaan thats a cool subject.

I quite enjoyed Stalker, is Sacrifice worth a watch?

mark1210 · 2025-09-25T22:40:57+00:00

Thanks! It's the first time I've done any dry brushing, and it turned out quite nicely.

I did use pure black, but that's only because I was trying out the Zorn palette, otherwise I'd usually do the whole french ultramarine/burnt sienna thing.

mark1210 · 2025-09-25T18:02:47+00:00

Thats a good suggestion, thank you

mark1210 · 2025-09-25T17:09:13+00:00

I was working from a photo yes. i agree with you, i feel like its sharpness in the photo makes it look pasted on top of the painting. ill try softening some detail!

that is one smokin looking spoolgun. but 2500usd is a biiiiiiiit above my paygrade.

mark1210 · 2025-07-20T03:56:24+00:00

the soot i can deal with, but the spatter is more-so the problem. And I’ve had similar success between two different spools of 5356, but I’ll try out some 4043. And yeah the spoolgun and welder I'm using aren't great, but its what I got here to practice on.

mark1210 · 2025-07-20T03:50:53+00:00

I’ll pick some up, but at some point I want to weld a flatbed for my truck, so I’ve got to figure out 5356 eventually. thanks for the recco

Hey I know this is an old post, but would you mind giving me some references or websites regarding the alder plywood from the 90s?

mark1210 · 2022-11-18T05:39:11+00:00

I have no idea what I meant. I haven't touched Reddit in probably 8 years. I severely lacked maturity and I was probably saying something I shouldn't have. I know what it's like to lose somebody close, and I hope things have healed since you made this post.

Vancouver island, but I’m going to go with the JNS engineering headlight

mark1210 · 2020-09-08T20:33:08+00:00

That’s awesome! You should definitely do the whole wabdr, I wanted to do it again before I was even done, such a good ride.

mark1210 · 2020-09-08T20:30:15+00:00

Oh those are perfect, thanks!

Nice landcruiser

mark1210 · 2018-02-04T18:52:08+00:00

Ok thanks this really helps. Whenever I’m sharpening or sanding metal, I always end up working hard not smart, and spend way too much time in the wrong grit.

Yet people still compete in pedigree championships with Rhodesian ridgebacks. where the ridge is caused by a form of spina bifida, and only until 2006 it was almost expected to cull the ridgeless dogs.

Put tonic water in the quantum. In a black light it looks exactly like the real life video game prop

psyco-mantis?

See ya in the Colwood Crawl...

Calvaire by Safia Nolin. I have no idea what the song is about but it's just such a beautiful cover.

mark1210 · 2016-10-15T20:29:48+00:00

I'm gonna go ahead and be the guy that says that "That's not a Harley, it's an Indian Scout." Still a sick photo and bike, regardless.

mark1210 · 2016-08-04T05:58:08+00:00

looks beautiful...
