The world is a scary place right now and I guess people are saving their money for iodine tablets and spiky shoulder armour! But we shall pull through 😅

Best of luck to you too! This is my 3rd year now, and I’ve realised that there is no pattern to predict and the turnout is almost always random! I hope you have all the success!!!

It just gets sillier every day! But fingers crossed it will die of chronic constipation and a photo will leak of its bloated orange carcass and the lunatics will realise that without their populist figurehead there’s really not much they can accomplish. And our friendships will endure

Thank you! I’m pretty sure we’re in the middle of a new Covid strain but the news is reporting anything but because of all the… horrors 😬

Thank you for the heads up. I would have preferred a private message- I don’t like feeling like I’m being policed. I just follow back anyone who retweets my posts but I never actually see what anyone posts, I don’t have time to vet everyone on my feed. No more follow backs I guess!

It’s a cooling unit for my induction forge! Basically pumps the refrigerant slimes through the coil to stop it melting

I do sharp and blunt, depending on the nature of the fondler! This one is totally blunt- that wibbly edge is going to be a ballache to sharpen! 🤣

It’s definitely doable! There’s a tiny tiny battery about the size of a matchstick that can power a single LED. Tiny toy lightsabers use them, but that’s a whooooole nother rabbit hole!!!

Some very non-historically accurate elastic thread! I couldn’t find any hemp chordage sadly and nylon would have been a good substitute but I figured elastic would decrease the chances of someone either breaking the bows with too much force or shooting someone in the eye!

Physics are always a little skewiff on hand made items due to variance in materials.  It's perfectly normal.
However, the smaller the scale, the bigger the difference said variances make.

And yet, such non-uniformity gives a handmade object its own unique identity… perhaps a soul?
