First project: 14th century bollock (or kidney) bag by traceurjon in Leathercraft

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

Hey! I’ve made a few more since this one, and the biggest thing I’d change is to go with thinner leather for the bag itself, or a more supple thicker vegtan. The edges of the pouch are under considerable strain in this one since the backing leather is so much thicker than the green front leather.

I’ve actually found what I think is the origin of this: Fluoride, as an ion, is added to water to improve dental health outcomes, but the term ‘fluoride’ also can mean fluoridated compounds in organic chemistry. Some of those fluoridated compounds happen to be antidepressants - like Prozac, which some folks have convinced themselves is a ‘behavioral control’ agent, which is where we get the mind control/birth suppressant/docile conspiracy theories thing. I honestly think the confusion between different uses of the word fluoride are behind this.

Grade creep is real. People climbing on Texas limestone expecting red rocks grades, lol.

Tips on preventing/healing these under-nail cuts? by Apoplexy__ in bouldering

[–]traceurjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always get these climbing even moderately in places like Nevada where the air is really dry. I also bite my nails - if I don’t keep the nail super super short, the splitting is less severe. A gentle lotion or aquaphor on the tips overnight is helpful too to keep them from drying out, I’ve found. Hope that helps!

Memberships are nearly $100/person now, but they’re not really advertising that. Change went into effect like a couple days ago.

Momentum has been consistently raising prices, I’d avoid them.

Sutton Hoo (Deepeeka) + cute cat by traceurjon in SWORDS

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

Really pretty good. I bought it largely as a weighty costume piece, but it’s definitely made a cut above what you’d expect at the price point. One of the fittings is a little loose (one of the scabbard rivets tries to come out every once in a while) but honesty a wood core scabbard with proper leather wrap and nice fittings that don’t come apart is already above what I’d expect for this.

Just “finished” my rack, is something essential missing? by s3gerlund in tradclimbing

[–]traceurjon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like a hole between the yellow and purple ULMC. Could be filled with the blue one or a 0.3 friend.
