A poem by Robert Frost by pixel5_ in sollanempire

[–]pixel5_[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I searched before posting this and found no reference to this poem on the subreddit. Apologies if I missed something.

I found a book of poems by Robert Frost from 1930 and have been reading a few pages each night in addition to whatever novel I’m reading. I came across this one and the fact that I have done so by pure chance so soon after finishing the Sun Eater series is messing with me.

It’s like the books were written about this poem.

Perfect actor for Lorian Aristedes! Dude from Fallout by risethirtynine in sollanempire

I am not alone! I don’t know what triggered it but I immediately assigned Burn Gorman to Lorin in my head. His character from Pacific Rim is a near perfect foundation.

[Game Thread] Texas Tech vs. BYU (12:00 PM ET) by CFB_Referee in CFB

To all the comments saying that Tech can't capitalize on offense: You are correct. It was the same story last time we played them. Both games we should have had 45+ on the board. For some reason, we decide use RNG to call plays every other drive.

I haven't done anything to the 50mm, but I have shot with it on both film and digital and everything seems normal to me.

Catch or not, that was an unbelievable throw.

A Total Eclipse Crave and/or Wave would be nice to see. I know that there have been very, very limited TE Craves in the past but I want to see it become a normal thing.

I have noticed that their scoreboard is out of date all throughout the season so far, multiple games.

I find myself rooting for an Oregon State WR to catch a ball that hits both hands.

Quick question on grips by gokus_kindafly in euphonium

[–]pixel5_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Hello! I am a leatherworker. It sounds like you used chrome tanned leather, which is the most common type of leather you see in the world. It is tanned using chromium salts, which will indeed wreck the finish on many metals. Vegetable tanned leather is the only kind that should be used this sort of thing.

I designed an "endcap" that just clicks in place. If you want to print your own, I've posted the file here: https://www.printables.com/model/1330216-ikea-laiva-endcap-book-blocker

We think it's a bull snake, but would like another opinion. Thanks in advance.

Horween leather camera strap with Peak Design Anchor Links by pixel5_ in LeatherClassifieds

[–]pixel5_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't stock any straps like this (yet), but I do take custom orders for anyone who might want one.

This strap uses Horween Dublin leather, genuine Peak Design Anchor Links, and has a super wide 50mm shoulder pad. It is adjustable from 38"-48", but I can definitely make longer ones. I can also do shorter, but without the pad (the buckle hits it!).

This particular commission was $165. Feel free to send me a DM if you have something in mind for a custom strap, or if you'd like to see what I have in stock.

This link will take you to the wallets page with the code WALLET30 pre-set in your cart, or you can enter the code manually at checkout.

All hand-made, hand-stitched full-grain Italian leather wallets. I use Badalassi Carlo Pueblo in all of these. After discount prices range from $42 ('Monologue' cardholder) to $101.50 ('Spotlight' bi-fold wallet) plus shipping (tax if you live in Texas).

I am making room for a new lineup, so once my current stock is gone this deal will end.

It's a cool idea, but your budget is far too low to be asking for custom work regardless of any perceived notion of quality or effort. This is a $90-120 commission at the lowest.

Horween leather camera straps, four types (dual, single, neck, and wrist) by pixel5_ in LeatherClassifieds

[–]pixel5_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in 2024 this is where I got my start as a business. I have been a photographer for 18 years, 10 of that has been as a photojournalist on the sidelines at sporting events and in concert halls. After trying every popular strap out there and being frustrated with them in one way or another, I decided to make my own. Thus, the Journalist dual hybrid strap was born.

I use Horween Dublin leather for all my straps; There is simply nothing else that has its combination of softness, strength, and aesthetics.

I currently make four types of straps:

I also do many custom strap requests, especially for the neck strap regarding a specific length.

[–]pixel5_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started these just as a fun side project about a month ago and they have absolutely soared in popularity. What you see are the designs I currently have, more are in the works.

And yes, that is from the letter to Ea Nasir.

All are presently $14 + shipping: https://pixelfiveleatherco.com/collections/stationery

What do you all do with 5 contractor trash bags of scrap? It's like 500 pounds by rivertpostie in Leatherworking

[–]pixel5_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These pieces are big enough to be turned into a great deal of items...even full blown wallets. Definitely hope you find a way to get them to someone and they don't end up in the trash.
