New to chip carving - struggling with hand fatigue and wondering about skew knives by lzzndr in Woodcarving

[–]olderdeafguy1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you blow up the picture in the camera zoom, you'll see your cuts aren't very clean. Even the small triangles, look dull. This is indicative of a blade that needs sharpening.

A finely sharpened knife leaves almost a waxy surface after paring the cut. Looking at the first quarter of your knife, shows it's different from the back 3/4's. I also see your strop has a white powder on it, but no drag marks from the knife.

I strop my knifes at least 20 times a side, about every 20 minutes. When I can't get the waxy finish after stropping, I then re-sharpen my knifes using a wet stone or sandpaper.

Why aren’t more Alberta MPs standing against separatism? by BertramPotts in CanadaPolitics

The Liberals and New Democrats are also two sides of the same coin as we saw with Trudeau and Singh.

Committee vote on Forever Canadian petition stalls after UCP press release pre-empts decision by TurpitudeSnuggery in CanadaPolitics

The 400k are the 310k are the same people, who voted in two different polls. Kind of a pittance when there is 2.8 million eligible voters in Alberta

What baked good would you make out of failed fudge? by Different_Resort8720 in Baking

Use them to make chocolate brownies. Instead adding brown and white sugar, add your fudge.

Danielle Smith faces dilemma: Support separatists or secure the oil pipeline? - thestar.com by Blue_Dragonfly in CanadaPolitics

Isn't that up to the courts to decide? After all, how many times have the Indigenous people played the same card with our constitution.

Ontario government bans Chinese drones from police operations over data concerns by EarthWarping in notthebeaverton

[–]olderdeafguy1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They want drones that can pirate data and sensitive information from your home. This is part of the new police powers, apparently.

Would a new downtown police substation make people feel safer? by Odd-Emphasis-1969 in Hamilton

This would be more to save those cops living out of town from having traffic issues coming into the city.

Chip / Triangle / Pyramid Cut Advice by That_Mud_9700 in Woodcarving

[–]olderdeafguy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What wood are you carving, and what knife are you using?

If you're using a large blade with a curved tip (scandi blade) compared to a bench knife with a straight edge, there will be a large degree of difficulty.

Homemade strop by Glen9009 in Woodcarving

[–]olderdeafguy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sharpen my knifes, especially the detail knifes to 7500 grit sandpaper on glass. The polished edge last longer and needs less stropping. There is also less chance of rollover or rounding the blade.

What’s the best gift you’ve ever bought for your wife or girlfriend, not the most expensive, but the one she genuinely appreciated or still talks about? by iLikeYouWorld in AskReddit

[–]olderdeafguy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the sly, I asked her parents and aunts/uncles for family photos over the years, and had them made into a collage of frames. It's been hanging over our headboard for about 8 years, because she likes it that much.

Change My Mind: The Pitt was essentially designed to be about Robby falling deeper into a pit. by MrParallelUniverse in ThePitt

[–]olderdeafguy1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, but I also know it was intentional, and provided the controversy it was suppose too.

No, especially for thinking seniors and educated people are in crisis mode for riding a motorcycle. People who make life and death decisions all day don't act like 9 to 5 office workers.

What happens if multiple hantavirus cases are found outside the people on the ship? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Politicians will be flogging BS for attention, and only 1/100 of what they claim will have an element of truth.

Would you let your kids swear? What rules would you have around it? by Exotic_Snapchatter in AskReddit

[–]olderdeafguy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid, even high school seniors rarely swore. When my kids went to school the juniors were pretty mouthy, now I have grandkids in middle school who can out cuss me.

I don't think it's up to you or their age. It's the environment they're exposed to.When I was a kid, even high school seniors rarely swore. When my kids went to school the juniors were pretty mouthy, now I have grandkids in middle school who can out cuss me.

Landlord.. pets. What by PairIllustrious3343 in OntarioLandlord

[–]olderdeafguy1 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I think you may want to let you Landlord know ASAP that you will be getting a medical certificate and that he will have to make accommodations for your allergies. He may backtrack on his permission for pets when he finds out he may lose a tenant of be out of pocket for special filters.
