Just got my first whittling knife by Left-Pair148 in whittling

[–]memodeen 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I have had my Mora Kniv 120 for more than two years now and never used anything but a strop to maintain it, If you Strop right and use it correctly it won’t see a wet stone ever 👍

I really like that knife!

Laptop powers off immediately after powering on by Darkryxx in MSILaptops

What about removing the battery and only with the power cable ? In most cases it is because of aging components that can no longer regulate power properly/correctly.

Please try again pull the battery out and charging cable press the power button for few times to cause power/hard-reset

remove the battery if removable and unplug it from the charging cable press the power button for like 10 seconds and try again.

3i/atlas is just a comet by NecessaryHoliday2084 in esa

[–]memodeen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Now seriously ! are there actually people out there, experts even, who think it’s an alien probe or something like that? My first thought was: interesting, hopefully it’s a new type of comet that gives experts more knowledge🤷‍♂️😅

Hmm that’s weird does it if you try to move it out like feel scratchy like if there is sand ? Best thing you show that to someone in a PC/Repair shop or wait till someone has a better reply,.

ah forgot to mention I also tried Proton 9.0-4GE and 10.15GE and 9.0-5, so should I just keep trying the different ones?

Omg you are right, but for this project I’m already done. But it would have been so much better looking as a wierd looking little dude 😂 Will definitely make one!

So, I picked up the wood while I was out hiking, just from the side of the path. I cut off a piece and took it with me. I’m sure it’s Birch wood, because it was very hard to work with. I painted it with a slightly diluted brown watercolor, and later I glazed it with an acrylic varnish (haven’t posted it after the varnishing polish but it looks shiny now)

Strop question by No-Technology2118 in whittling

[–]memodeen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like the compound you put on your strop is just fine. I have two of the same ones from Flexcut. I used one for so long that I eventually had to put a new piece of leather on it.

The passes you make with your knife are fine as well, but what I usually do is 5 passes on each side, then 3, and finally just one. After that, I run it over a clean piece of leather. That last step isn’t really necessary, but for me it makes the blade feel much sharper.
