Hey guys.
I've thought about trying to make an ornamental steel sword myself.
I think I could be able to get the components and a decent heat source, but I don't know if I would need really specific things.
The only thing I can think about is the sharpening part, I have a kind of sharpening machine but I'm not sure if it would be enough for something too big.
Has anyone tried something like this?

hello
i am smarty, i smith as a hobby (although i havent done much lately because lung infection + cold weather) and i cant make very long weapons because my furnace is small. ive made some OK looking stuff, and some pretty crappy stuff (im still learning). show me some pictures of your sword project, tell me your previous smithing experiences, tell me about your forge (thats what the place you make the stuff is called) and tell me/show me some pics of the tools you use. also, send me a friend req, and feel free to write on my profile if you have any questions about stuff.
also, check out the Man At Arms videos on youtube, its some good shit

Don't make a sword right off the bat. Read this guide.

I'm more concerned about your other hobby. The one that was passed down from pure generation to pure generation.

Looking for an amateur paleonthologist to share the findings. Also, is it good to mark anatomical details on your fossils with a graphite pencil? Here's how I did it on one of my fossils. Sorry about quality tho.
User avatar #3392 to #3363 - smartythechicken ONLINE (12/30/2015) [-]
oh thats one of those old-ass dinosaur-time ocean creatures.
all my knowledge about paleontology went into this comment.
i dont think they're super duper rare, but its definitely a find
User avatar #3394 to #3392 - stoneshit (12/30/2015) [-]
that's a sea urchin, a big sea urchin. It's not visible on my potato cam, but you can see spike holes and on some other broken pieces of shells I've found you can see tendom structure.
It's pretty rad, but it's not rare. Those urchins were one of the most common organisms in the shallow seas
User avatar #3370 to #3363 - puckisthis (12/28/2015) [-]
dont mark it fool!!!. and that's looks like an acnicent (alien) sea thing
User avatar #3373 to #3370 - stoneshit (12/28/2015) [-]
It's a sea urching shell and the spike holes were barely visible before

It's just graphite, I can wash it off afterwards.

i wouldnt tho i have tons of those guys

How do you clean your fossils? I have a few and I don't wanna scratch or break em
User avatar #3380 to #3379 - puckisthis (12/28/2015) [-]
all sorts or brushes man
User avatar #3383 to #3380 - stoneshit (12/28/2015) [-]
What about the ones that are about to break. Leave them alone or ducktape it together?
User avatar #3384 to #3383 - puckisthis (12/28/2015) [-]
you dont tape anything nope.
User avatar #3385 to #3384 - stoneshit (12/28/2015) [-]
Seal it with something?
User avatar #3386 to #3385 - puckisthis (12/28/2015) [-]
i would leave it be. half the beauty is finding it
User avatar #3387 to #3386 - stoneshit (12/28/2015) [-]
I guess you're right. Even if it breaks I still have the parts

Hey /hobby/, I saw someone selling a couple adult ball pythons a couple weeks ago locally, and now I want one. I have leftover supplies from when I owned a gecko(RIP). Do you think a 20 gallon tank would be good for a baby ball python until i can afford a larger one?

Thanks in advance.
User avatar #3365 to #3349 - tiagodisouza (12/27/2015) [-]
how long is the tank and how big is the snake currently?
#3371 to #3365 - karkzan (12/28/2015) [-]
tank is 30 inches, and the snake would be approximately 1 foot. giver or take 2-3 inches.   
   
just in case  76.2 cm tank, about 30.5cm for the snake

User avatar #3375 to #3371 - tiagodisouza (12/28/2015) [-]
considering it is a ball python it will be fine in the tank until it gets to 3 feet but by then you should get something with like 90cm- 100cm with like 45 or 50 wide with plenty of large hides as they get pretty fat
#3381 to #3375 - karkzan (12/28/2015) [-]
Thanks a bunch for the info.

you're welcome
also remember that plenty of water is important as is high humidity so they don't get stuck sheds

En Latinoamerica esto es CARETA (COMERCIAL).Una verdadera lastima por lo buena que es la banda y lo bien que suena, pero que sigue dominada por el comercio Warner Bros. Records .espero que no toquen mas temas melódicos como estos pop-art lo cual no los identifica en nada.

Hey guys, I'm looking to purchase a fossil but I don't quite know what to look for in one.

There's a shop i've been visiting with my friends for a few months now called Quartz Source. It's a very interesting shop with very interesting stuff, and i've been in the process of redecorating my room.
I think a fossil would look nice, so i plan on buying a fossil from the store there, either an Ammonite or Trilobite.
However, i don't quite know what to look for in a fossil.

The ammonite fossils they sell there are smooth and a few of them have a smooth, almost polished speckled rock surrounding it; however, the back end is all rugged and beat up, showing it's something that has been chipped at.
My question there is, why are the ammonites smooth?

The trilobytes themselves are good quality, i know that. There's nothing fishy about them.

It's not a store that purchases bulk or whatever like that. It's a very small store run by a family who travels the world collecting rocks jesus christ marie and minerals, things of that nature.
I trust the store and all, it's not a shit store. I just want to know what i should be looking for to be sure i don't get ripped off.

oh shit, i know something about something, possibly.
are you talking about those prehistoric fossilized snail-looking motherfuckers from the ocean? ive got a small one of those, i dont know if its real tho (i suppose it is, its just been cut in half real cleanly, making the surface smooth) i know a little bit about that, but i know more about skeletons and skulls and shit.
hope this helps, and if ya got any questions feel free to ask

Whats a nice Real Grade gundam model that'll look nice for display without any painting or remodelling. I quite like the Freedom Gundam or Aile Strike Gundam
User avatar #3346 to #3344 - aamann (12/17/2015) [-]
I will say though, if you're looking for anything with a big backpack, definitely consider an action base. amzn.com/B000RG1OTI
User avatar #3345 to #3344 - aamann (12/17/2015) [-]
All real grades are good for that. A lot of high grades are too. So long as you're not too reckless while building them, they look great. All the kits I have on display now are basically just straight, out of box builds.

I've been looking for a few years now for a source of leather that isn't just glorified particle board, if anyone could help me out I would really appreciate it. whenever I come across some I use it for things like sheaths, bags and seam reinforcement on clothing.pic not minethanks.
User avatar #3335 to #3317 - drl (12/10/2015) [-]
are you in america
if so just go to your nearest Amish settlement
they have a large supply of fresh leather

i got some leather off an old chair that had been sitting out in the rain, it made it look like some cool post-apocalyptic shit.
anyway, i know that people that work with that kinda stuff are called tanners. if you havent already tried, try asking farm owners, hunters, taxidermists, and possibly those stores that old people work in, that sell used clothes and stuff.
also, i make my sheaths outta wood, so i dont know that much about leather. would yu recommend it tho?

Thinking about getting into aquariums and collecting tropical fish, any tips for beginners?

I've already decided to start with something that isn't technically an aquarium, but is pretty cool nonetheless, an ecosphere. Any FJers own one of these?
User avatar #3342 to #3316 - chaoticwtf (12/13/2015) [-]
While I don't know about ecospheres...I DO know that tropical / exotic fish are usually predatory to one another. Do careful research on the fish you pick to find out if they will all live happily ever after, or if you'll wake up one morning with a genocide in your fish tank.

Nah, only a few times on the back of my neck in airport and paintball. I wear a shemagh now so the front of my neck is perfectly safe.

Made this rabbit from clear plexi 5mm, and my plan was to sand it and put an LED so it lights up completely, but I tried it while it's still clear and it looks kinda cool. Maybe I would leave it that way, but the problem is, it's a bit scratched up and it ruins it. Now I'm thinking of just sanding down some areas as shades... will post few pics as examples and I'd like to hear your opinions/ideas.

I will also add a little wooden base in which I will put batteries, a switch and hide the LED(s) so it just lights up the rabbit. How long would 2 AA batteries manage to power those LEDS? eBay info say if you got 20mA, forward voltage is 3.4v.
#3310 to #3309 - toncheky (12/09/2015) [-]
Test with an LED, clear, but scratched up.

Ideas for shading...
#3312 to #3311 - toncheky (12/09/2015) [-]
...and detailing.
#3319 to #3312 - smartythechicken ONLINE (12/09/2015) [-]
looks cool af
if you dont do anything the rabbit will have a sorta vintage look to it
if you sand the whole motherfucker down it will glow white probably, shit i dont know if it works then it would look hella cool
like you said, you could put some shadings into it, or you could make several drawings on it, like, you could make some machine parts. or a dragon or some shit
OOO OOO or you could make the foodchain! (so the rabbit eats a leaf, and inside the leaf there is a drop of water and the sun)
just some food for thought
good luck m8
#3320 to #3319 - toncheky (12/09/2015) [-]
thanks m8
I see what you're saying for the vintage look but I don't really like it.
I worked with plexi before and sanding just diffuses the light across the surface, not just the edges; pic related, PSU cover in my PC (the letters).
Basically I just need to decide what would look the best, because I know how to get it to look that way (etching sanding etc.).
I like your ideas, I had some "abstract" ideas in mind so I drew a few examples, pics in next comment.
#3321 to #3320 - toncheky (12/09/2015) [-]
Basically I need something that's simple. Not easy to do, but simple, straight lines works best for etching.
On the left bunny, the filled in areas would be sanded so they would light up, others would be clear.
Second is pretty simple, just etch those lines in and sand the rest lightly.

I WILL CREATE MY ARMY OF RABBITS

thanks again, I do some stuff in my spare time when I'm bored, it's not top tier but makes me happy.
Okay, just one question: is the god damn eye on the right spot?
User avatar #3324 to #3323 - smartythechicken ONLINE (12/09/2015) [-]
the left one is good (i think)
right one needs a little bit a moving, and its gonna suck like crazy if its placed the wrong way, because if it IS placed the wrong way, all of the laser eye lightning stuff is gonna sit wrong too
User avatar #3325 to #3324 - toncheky (12/09/2015) [-]
Alright,thanks.
Well those lines were made randomly so it's not really important that they're exactly the same. In any case I choose, the eye will probably be made the same, either a hole or carved in.

80% finished. Gotta smooth out the edges, work the sanding a bit more and make the base (still can't decide whether to make it powered by cable or batteries).
