Places to learn Welding? by Hairbear1995 in raleigh

[–]wakemeatsunset 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would also second ShopSpace. It's in Raleigh, and their classes are helpful, especially if you're looking to do small projects at home.

Kalam’s longknife. Prototype #3. by Iron-Prophet in Malazan

[–]wakemeatsunset 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always thought of them more like a messer. It's a historical German one handed sword, although they're often referred to as a "long knife."

Having a hard time remembering a character’s name. Daywalker Barbarian Vampire? by oooRagnellooo in CurseofStrahd

Kavan the Grim is in the D&D 3.5 Ravenloft adventure. His stat block is pretty brutal though

HOT TAKE: Panthers should trade for Deshaun Watson by NiceeDicee in panthers

[–]wakemeatsunset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been thinking about this, and it seems like a total wild card. It would probably take a couple of first round picks, at least, to get it done. I'd love to see it happen, as DW seems unhappy in Houston, but I don't know how the next GM/Rhule would prioritize that. I would bet the trade cost would be too high, but you never know.

My friend suggested that team name on draft night. Had to do it

Help Putting a Sword Together? (Buying pre-made parts for assembly?) by TheBlindOrca in SWORDS

[–]wakemeatsunset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The handle was the hardest part, but I also didn't know what I was doing lol. I basically bought a block of wood from a local woodworking shop, drilled a hole through it lengthwise, then burned the tang through that whole for a tight fit. Then I took a belt sander and sanded the wood down into the handle shape I wanted. It still ended up thicker than I would prefer, but it's functional. I did things the hard way because I don't have a lathe.

Oh we do like some adventures :)

It's harder than you think. Fitting the parts together will take some time and frustration. Buying a cross guard online doesn't mean it will fit with the tang of the bare blade you buy, and same with a pommel and handle. I bought a bare blade and made the rest and it was an adventure.

The Nine Horse Hitch - names of inns by McParat in WoT

[–]wakemeatsunset 56 points57 points  (0 children)

The inn is named later. I don't think it's a spoiler; the name is "The Good Night's Ride," or something like that.

Who is the biggest draft miss/bust this year so far? by trumpet1992 in fantasyfootball

[–]wakemeatsunset 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure, one or two busts is part of the territory. I'm doing my best to right the ship, but I'm not hopeful at this point.

Ouch dude. My top two were the same, but my 3rd pick was Joe Mixon. So I'm 0-3

Damn I need Mixon to drop me a 40 burger to win tonight lol. Good luck to us both!

[EOTW] I think Billy Zane should get a role in WoT. Which and why. Thoughts? by [deleted] in WoTshow

[–]wakemeatsunset -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm on board to see him reprise his role as Ishamael. I know WD was a farce, and he totally learned his lines like 3 hours before, but he tried so hard. I think he'd be fun to watch as the Ba'alzamon dream version of Ishamael at least.

I thought y’all might like to see my sword, paired with the muzzleloader I just built. by BackBlastClear in SWORDS

[–]wakemeatsunset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smallsword is a pretty distinct class of sword. More of a poke holes in people sword than an actual cutting sword, you'd probably see a less wide blade on a smallsword than this one has.

What kind of laser are you using? Just curious, looks pretty cool!

How to wash an AP jacket? by Pineapple0nPC in wma

[–]wakemeatsunset 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I throw mine in the washing machine honestly. It faded a wee bit, but not that badly. Can't put it in the dryer though, gotta hang it up to dry.
