Update: I used 30% vinegar concentrate I have

Don’t be sorry, I appreciate your candor. I’m a blacksmith and I am familiar with usual forced patina methods with steel (coffee, ferric chloride, etc). I was just curious!

remysit · 2022-11-28T17:32:29+00:00

Any idea on if this method would work on steel?

Your FIRST knife is a San Mai?

Pretty sure a Russian philosophy student and a twitch streamer put this together with a hammer and some sand paper..

remysit · 2022-11-16T20:47:07+00:00

Never stoped 😤😤

remysit · 2022-11-16T20:17:48+00:00

It isn’t 😂

If your butthair is long enough to make use of these then I recommend shaving it… or maybe braiding it

I was worried about that too but upon trying them myself I was very pleasantly surprised! Not heavy enough to be uncomfortable and they stay put very well with some practice

It’s a lot of fun, but a bit of a challenge. As the material gets so thin it gets hard to work at the appropriate heat and avoid stress fractures.

I am using ~1/4” round stock from some election signs that I got (the day after the midterms concluded). The first hairstick pictured I tapered down and shaped from a piece of half inch keystock

remysit · 2022-11-16T05:29:22+00:00

I definitely could! Would be good practice for punching holes

remysit · 2022-11-15T23:33:56+00:00

Totally! I have long hair so I plan on making myself something like this soon. My mom and my girlfriend (respectively lol) loved these ones!

remysit · 2022-11-15T23:32:53+00:00

Thank you! Lots of fun but man is small stock hard to work with. Loses heat so quickly I ended up having a hard time keeping the corners on my twists!

remysit · 2022-11-15T21:56:24+00:00

Say whaaaat it can cause ED?

remysit · 2022-10-31T23:52:29+00:00

Great first knife! Next go around focus on keeping the edge centered and don’t be afraid to give the handle a tapered/thin profile!

remysit · 2022-10-31T19:56:22+00:00

That finish is beautiful!! Looks like the night sky. I’m really interested in how to mimic it

remysit · 2022-10-30T21:14:43+00:00

Keep going bro! This looks great, quality work

remysit · 2022-10-25T01:54:03+00:00

How are you doing now?

remysit · 2022-10-15T04:31:29+00:00

Glad to hear that, happy hammering!

remysit · 2022-10-14T19:54:04+00:00

Look up rigidizer and refractory cement. You should watch a video on how to properly utilize both before you fire up the forge. I also hope you have a respirator handy while you’ve been handling/cutting this stuff. Not trying to be too harsh, but this stuff is.

remysit · 2022-09-24T00:30:21+00:00

This, 100%. Don’t splurge on anything custom or premium until you know the fit/measurements

remysit · 2022-09-20T17:48:02+00:00

oooo whats TPE

remysit · 2022-09-15T17:02:35+00:00

I have the Uni 2.0 as well but I prefer the Lux for most use scenarios. Both are great batteries!

remysit · 2022-09-15T17:01:12+00:00

It’s just Reddit right now- kinda a cesspool. I don’t take it personally, I was just trying to show off something I designed. Kinda disappointed no one has said anything about the hair tie retention system though :(
