we got some fromsoftian blindfolded religious figures (juxtaposing braille with compound bug eyes: is that evocative?). we got some centipedes and similar-ish larvae, large and extra large. and yeah, some pelvic bone scorpions that dont really work yet. currently working on imagining grand cathedrals with giant ant pupae being worshiped.

No but my neighbors used to have a bunch of chickens and they'd give us free eggs every week until the wife cheated with the neighbors husband across the street and blew up my free eggs empire.

I tried to grab a falling piece of rebar that was bright orange and it like instantly blanched and numbers my fingers and felt kinda like butter sliding through my hand.

Other than woodwork my main crafty thing is moonshinin'



I stick to fruit brandies and aquavit since they're harder to come by and I can make stuff better than store bought at this point. I age 'em in little oak barrels in my cellar and when a batch gets good I share with with bartenders around town so now I get free shots all the time and never have to wait for a drink it's awesome

Found myself doing this for woodworking stuff now, Witcher 3 is chock full of sick workshops everywhere and skellige's got a handful of full blown water-powered sawmills cranking out timbers.

There's a worker guy at Corvo Bianco that's going over a plank of wood with a smoothing plane but there's no workholding and the piece is crooked as poo poo with no proper stock prep and I hate how much it pisses me off lol

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

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

My new next door neighbour quit his engineering job to make traditional Scottish skein dubh daggers and has a forge in the building basement. Whenever I go into the back court to take the dog or bins out and I see the latch on the gate I know that means the blacksmith is in the basement clanking away and I feel like I'm upstairs from Blacksmith Andre in Undead Parish
