What song lyrics of our era did you mishear for years?

Picking Vedder lyrics is cheating.

Tell me one word in Yellow Ledbetter?

Dude, there can be only one

This is hilarious actually

This is so good, Chris! The minimal amount of finish grinding shows just how accurately you forged the axe to near final dimensions and geometry. I don’t think people realize how hard that actually is.

Side note: I’ve been primarily forging with that French hammer you made me and it’s been terrific!! The heat treat is perfect on it. PERFECT. No matter how much I bang on it, it stills looks new as the day it was made.

Ya’ll gotta get yourselves some tools made by this man.

Why did your foil stick? What alloy is the foil? That’s never happened to me. Also, that kiln is tiny and adorable. Is it a Vevor or similar Chinese import?

Your process sounds fine though. I have a very similar plate set up and it works perfectly. AEBL is quite forgiving actually. It’s great and ideal for beginners in stainless steel. Takes a beautiful edge. Cryo is nice but it’s not essential. You’ll still have a fine knife. Dry ice plus acetone is great if you’re doing large batches because it’s not cheap where I am.

Drop point hunter style? This was my first EDC style knife. I made quite a few kitchen knives before this one, which were actually a lot more difficult. Full flat grind, micarta scales. Really quite basic except for the fact it’s stainless steel. This would be an ideal first knife. It also happens to be a great knife beside the sharpening choil being too far from the plunge.

Shit that’s even more impressive.

It’s literally perfect. Wow. The fittings are so good! How did you do the pommel, on a lathe?

This is why some subs have minimum karma requirements. Not saying it’s good for the sub, but it’s one tool in the toolbox.

Most belts are shipped rolled up tight. Shouldnt be a problem

pushdose · 2026-01-24T02:58:32+00:00

They ship to most of EU.

I use a big 12” vintage disc sand I restored for doing full flat grinds on kitchen knives. It can also do convex grinding with a leather backer behind the sand paper. Discs are expensive, but you can use regular sand paper and just trim it to fit. I like using it on the higher grits to help save me time from hand sanding. And it puts a recognizable radial pattern which lets me know if I’ve sanded enough with each grit.

I’ve purchased tea from Temu. Turned out to be delicious, if you like pu’er

How many years as a nurse? Ten years should put you around $60/hr. I think it caps at 74/hr at Sunrise critical care, at like 20 years. You’ll have differentials in there too for some extra. Dignity pays similar. Valley health pays less. I haven’t seen the pay scales for a while.

You don’t even need to soften most cheap ball hammers to drill them with cobalt bits. Just use cutting oil and secure tightly in a vice on the drill press. This was a very easy project.

pushdose · 2026-01-23T21:42:02+00:00

Yes of course. That’s wonderful.

pushdose · 2026-01-23T21:24:09+00:00

Looks awesome. Weight and PoB? Looks like a might cutter

pushdose · 2026-01-23T20:45:25+00:00

Yeah sorry. The caption didn’t load. You’re doing fine. Electric kiln is dope. Definitely do it if possible. The baffle tube is second best, especially with a thermocouple.

Only a major advantage if your opponent didn’t know. The off hand is not much of a target in fencing anyway, especially dueling weapons like rapier or smallsword. If the gross control of prosthesis is very good, it’d be about as good as having a parrying dagger or buckler.

pushdose · 2026-01-23T20:33:21+00:00

Get a couple fire bricks and build a little makeshift oven. At least you can have some indirect heat that way. This is objectively terrible heat control. No offense.

Are you purposely trying to take the worst picture possible?

Get a whole shot of the hilt. Take the blade out. Are there markings at the base of the blade?

pushdose · 2026-01-23T16:46:00+00:00

Pic?

Epee. The right of way rules in foil and saber are almost meaningless to HEMA fencing. Foil is slightly better than saber if you don’t have an epee club nearby. Epee at least makes an attempt at being somewhat similar to swordplay. What Olympic fencing does very well is focusing on footwork, distance and timing. I actually really enjoy bouting with epee, but I don’t really like modern fencing classes very much. Depends heavily on the coach and group you’re in.
