Does someone have a climate change fursona?

It’s a bit annoying, oh no, block em and move on, no one needs the drama

From yhose, violet and psychedelic, the rest are too dark or too cold

Don’t use PVC, ABS, TPE or TPU anally! They’ll give you ass cancer

Yep, acetylene. I used thinner than usual sheet for it (26 gauge) which because of the lower mass heats up faster. It’s something you mostly have to worry about with bezels, because they’re done with thin wire. The torch gets hot enough you can ise it to melt silver in a crucible for casting!

The bottom wings being incomplete on the previous one was because I accidentally melted one while soldering on the prongs for mounting the stone! I wasn’t paying attention to how hot I got it and that section melted away so I filed off the melted blobs and cut out the other side to match! Yep, I have a little round end hammer and just tap away! The bend in the wings is actually a natural result of hammering it, the way it stretches it out just so happens to give it the perfect bend!

Task failed successfully?

Blow the interviewer

Hahaha lemmy has a tendency to take things too seriously I think

If you haven’t listen to the full main theme (a cup of liberty) you really should, it’s really good, so much more character than the snippet that plays during the loading screens

“Oh you’re depressed? Just choose to feel happy” thanks

Yep, that one’s my favorite! I got a bunch of them at a rock and gem show and they’re definitely all really pretty

I could post more of what I make but I usually do one or two things a week and I’d hate to flood the community

I traced the profile of the stone into my notebook and tried different wing shapes, based on pictures of butterflies I was looking at. Once I had a shape I liked, I drew it again on an index card and drew the holes in, more based on what I felt looked good than what butterflies actually looked like. The long skinny holes kinda highlight the stone I think

Just don’t mutilate your kids cause you think it looks gross

You’re not working the head enough bro, gotta work on your technique

(Lemmy seriousness disclaimer: this is a joke)

You can choose how you feel?

Cuz it can be disgusting

I used thinner than usual sheet for this one (26 gauge) and didn’t even think about the possibility of melting it hahaha. It’s something I watched out for on bezels but it somehow didn’t occur to me I could melt my piece

I mean honestly for coming last he did really well, definitely the tightest series yet
