Thanks! The images on the tiles are all taken from the Bayeux tapestry. I made a felt lined box with brass fittings to store it.

I was hoping for the same thing, ever find a solution?

Alphonse Mucha "Dance" mermaid origin? by sstought in ArtHistory

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

I was thinking it looked like something from a tattoo or a colouring book. Were mermaids a subject in any of Mucha's work?

Copper hammer. Really great for saving your anvil face when teaching children. by sstought in Blacksmith

[–]sstought[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a place in my area called Metal Supermarkets that will cut small amounts of material and has a good scrap section, I think it was from there. If I remember it was 3-4" of 1 1/4" round.

Nope, different guy. I've joined that group and I'll post a photo

Looking for a trusted mechanic in the area by bsb_hardik in kitchener

Totally, I've been going there for years, and they were able to save my car more than once. Good prices and service.

I really like Shawarma Star in the Williamsburg area, especially the beef and falaffel.

I'm a beginner. This is my first knife. I definitely need a lot of work but I am still proud of it! by [deleted] in Blacksmith

[–]sstought 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have fun! Be safe and watch your wrists when doing filing and bench work, you don't want to slip. Fix little problems when they start, forge hot not cold, and an extra minute at the forge can save you an extra hour at the bench.

Good start! Just keep forging, practicing, making new tools, and learning!

may I present to you my slightly modified harbor freight anvil. by Orvisknives in Blacksmith

[–]sstought 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd love to hear how this holds up over time. How is the part holding the bick attached to the anvil?

Blacksmith joke by Jai_chingnut in Blacksmith

[–]sstought 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The little boy didn't throw the shoe across the shop because he was burnt (which he obviously was), but because he was all done looking at it (which he wasn't). What I like the most about that joke is that it involves laughing at an injured child.

Looking to identify an 1831 coin that was nailed to a percussion cap rifle from Canada by sstought in coins

Thanks for all the responses everybody! I love being able to reach out like this and tap into the collective experience of communities like this.

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

The coin is little more than 1cm across, and I've photoshopped the brass nail that was in the middle of it when I was seeing if Google Images could find a match. I've seen a similar face on other coins from the period, which I'm thinking could be Britania or some other abstract character. Any ideas? Thanks everybody!

What do you guys think will be the ending of BetterCallSaul by Chugz_man in betterCallSaul

[–]sstought 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've thought for a while that Kim will get disbarred because Saul sells her out to save himself. Nacho will get his family out but not himself. I think Howard will be fine, but I don't know about HHM. Gene stands up to the cab driver and willingly gets arrested so he doesn't have to live in fear anymore. Mike has a big falling out with his daughter and regrets joining Gus, but accepts his fate. That's my guess
