It’s about cooking but it’s somewhat crafting related so I’ll tell In Training’s story about the time he started grilling lmfao and he had it going out in the courtyard and when the smoke really started popping off he got embarrassed and went inside and watched from the window. Lmfqo

Spanish Manlove posted:The leaves for the ivy were the most fun of the whole thing. They were all done by watering down paint and then dripping it onto a coffee filter, then once that dried I used a hole punch that I borrowed from my 4yo niece that made little leaf shapes. After making a bunch of confetti it was glued to floral wire on the wall. love this

 The face on the sun was done with a very fine tip brush and black ink mixed with black paint. Base was kind of an afterthought because I was happy enough with the sun and the tabard. Gave this one to a friend for her birthday  This was actually a test model for some fancy metallic paints I wanted to try out from Vallejo. The base was a last minute "sure whatever" idea where I mixed a bunch of green powder stuff from a children's school diorama kit and some thinned pva glue into a slurry and then put yellow foam pieces on top to look like flowers. That's a weird recipe I came up with when trying to make moss one time and couldn't get the powder to stick to a surface so I thought it might work better if I mixed glue into it then applied it to the surface. It's the same idea used in places on the Artorias diorama.  The cheapest way to get a bunch of swords was a pack of plastic skewers that were cut up to make them look a little different than each other, and then different kinds of oxidation colors. I had to make the rock in the middle a lot taller so that was just the pink xps foam that you can get a square meter for $5 at home depot. The wolf was mostly painted using makeup brushes to build up a gradient. Since then I figured out a more convincing fur recipe where you blend wet paint together on the undercoat then use the makeup brush for the overcoat.

I'm still pretty new at this but I got started with mini painting and terrain building for D&D games about 8 months ago and I'm having a blast with it one of the first minis I painted, not good on a technical level but the concept makes me lol:  underdark cave set made out of mostly garbage styrofoam  hag's hut exterior with vegetable mimics made from polymer clay

oh drat blacksmith talk, i love this poo poo i been smithing for about ten years off and on, it's basically the most fun thing in the world. here's some of my stuff  mild steel bottle opener i made for my brother for his birthday five or six years ago  cloak pin  not properly blacksmithing, but i'm hella proud. this one's silver/copper mokume gane  my forge, which is literally a box full of sand with a hole in the side to accept an air pipe. i built a smaller one as a stopgap while saving up for an old rivet forge or something, but it works so well i just built a bigger one and see no reason to change it out  windchime. tentacles are a mix of mild steel and wrought iron. this was a bitch to get balanced, i intend to do another one someday more sanely designed  'nother bottle opener, this one's mild steel finished with boiled linseed oil  nails are a fun medium  a nail what i done made myself  The Abstractopus  little knife i made on a lark out of forge welded straighened-out garage door spring. i kinda hosed up the weld as you can see, but it's sharp as hell  yet another bottle opener. this one's wrought iron, as evidenced by the ends being delaminated a little on account of i didn't know how to work wrought iron when i made this. very different from mild steel  simple sterling rings  a piece from the Iron Shithouse Collection that i never finished. i gotta go back to that now that the weather's warming up it's time to get back into it

yeah it's real nice. all you gotta do is get the work to a black heat and dab the oil on with a paper towel or something. the heat polymerizes the oil and you get a decently durable finish that keeps poo poo from rusting. i like using that paste wax stuff too, that gets used a lot for woodworking. basically any oil or wax will do the trick, but the hot linseed oil smells real nice you gotta be careful though, i've only seen it happen once but a paper towel or rag soaked in linseed oil can spontaneously combust. leave that poo poo out in the open away from anything flammable for a couple hours before you throw it out, or just toss it in the forge

Yeah when linseed oil dries it’s exothermic so keep the rags spread out and in the open to dry completely before tossing them. I tried to grow my own flax last year for the oil or fibers but my big dumb foster dog decided to make that part of the yard his playground so none of those plants had a chance

last summer i smelted some iron by accident one of the things about using a sandbox for a forge is the sand turns to glass everytime you run it. this ain't a big deal, you just have to pull the big half-melted chunks of glass out and dig the firepot back out and you're good to go. one thing you can do to prevent that from happening as much is mixing ash in with the sand, so i'll regularly stir the coal ash around with the sand to get it homogeneous. i was doing this one morning ahead of lighting up for the day and i hit something weird right underneath the air pipe. it was a lump of something that wasn't clinker, what in the hell is this, it's really heavy, this definitely isn't clinker. wait, why is it sticking a magnet? oh gently caress, i made iron!  after thinking about it a little, i figured out what happened. the sand i used to fill up the forge is black, which i didn't think anything of when i bought it. but that poo poo is black because there's a whole lot of iron oxide in it, and the conditions directly underneath the air supply were perfect for the iron oxide to reduce and then melt together into a pretty drat good iron bloom, very pure. so i spent a couple hours flattening it out and folding and welding it, and i got a little chunk of iron i made myself, by accident, out of sand  this summer i plan to build a full size bloomery furnace and make enough iron to really do something with

Yeah I gotta learn to use the welder and oxy torch and get my new charcoal forge made again… I miss not having to shove poo poo in a tiny tunnel and it’s harder to localize heat in the prope forge.

Telescopes and astronomy are neat When I was a kid the local astronomy enthusiast club would have little events where you could go and look through some retired engineer's 15" telescope and see very detailed images of Saturn and stuff. It was cool as gently caress
