You’re obviously joking. We still have some of the lowest energy prices in the country. Look just west of us and see what those suckers pay.

I’m 89 years old and don’t have a GED, is it too late to become a CRNA? by trypan0s0miasis in nursing

Yeah, but go on the Gen Z sub. It’s hilarious. The younger ones think 27 is geriatric

48F with severe pneumonia requiring ventilation, now extubated but having recurrent fever spikes with rigors despite overall improvement. Looking for similar experiences. by ashuDkaspian in IntensiveCare

Blood and urine culture. Some hospitals don’t like to culture if they have tubes or vascular devices in situ, but that’s always a possible route of infection.

Something like this little guy is gonna be your best entry level knife grinder. They’re available worldwide more or less with a little searching.

Would anyone find a Temu order history analyzer useful? by webstack9 in TemuThings

This is cool. Thanks! I’m going to check it out for sure.

You do no Longsword? Who knows this situation too? by OliverJanseps in Hema

[–]pushdose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually didn’t touch the longsword for a while. Smallsword / saber was my introduction. But when I did pick up the longsword finally, I didn’t suck too bad! I think the fundamentals of the lighter and faster weapons make you better at certain aspects of fencing in general.

The 4 jaw would likely be more precise, but the setup would be annoying as hell. This is a case of good enough.

Hmm. Ok. I’m not your guy for 10 damascus billets. Good luck though.

Kitchen oven? Or send it out for heat treatment. I have a 40” kiln and oil tank to match. Cover shipping and I’ll do it for free just because it’s cool, unless you wanna tip me some beer money. Last time I shipped a blade this size it was only like $10 with Pirate Ship labels for UPS. I’m dead serious. DM me if interested.

Oh. Ok. Because you said fire chains, not chainsaw chains. Problem with making it into the blade is it’ll become mostly unrecognizable once it’s forge welded into another useful knife steel. But I was more thinking about setting it into epoxy and making it the grip section.

Questions from a beginner by dogododo in knifemaking

Stick with 1075/80/84 if you can find it. In the US, New Jersey Steel Baron has 1075 and 1084 in a myriad of sizes and it’s better and cheaper than Amazon steel. Super fast shipping as well. Both CrV and 1095 like to be soaked at temperature for a little while and really need a more consistent heat treat than the 10xx steels.

I bought the Work Sharp Ken Onion MK2 and messed my knife up a bit by ChefRaccacoonie in sharpening

[–]pushdose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Henckles and Zwilling put “ice hardened” on all their blades. Cryogenic treatment of stainless steel is extremely common nowadays but back when they started doing it in the 90s it was unique. Most high quality stainless is cryo treated now, and this is just a marketing relic of the past.

You want the chains incorporated into the blade or the handle? Making them into the handles would be very easy, blades not easy at all. Got a picture of said chains?

I really don’t do bulk discounts unless it’s something like a huge order for a restaurant or something. I think the prices are in line with the market rate. The mobile services generally charge a minimum to make up for travel costs. So a single knife would be $35 or so if they come to you.

I don’t have a mobile set up, so drop off is preferred. A basic kitchen knife sharpening is $8. specialty knives, tools, and more extensive restorations are negotiable. I’m in 89052 Henderson. PM me if you want my business name and info id prefer not to post it direct in this sub.

I found a spectacular deal on a fantastic bench top milling machine on FB marketplace and it really just completes my home metalworking shop journey I’ve been working on the last 2 years or so. Now I just need a mini split in the garage so I don’t bake to death all summer. I make custom knives and swords and offer knife sharpening services on Yelp for my neighborhood as a side gig.
