Laugh outloud at the beauty of the shot my opponent just killed me with. I do this!!! I thought I was the only one. The harder and more merciless the shot is, the more it makes me laugh. Nothing gives me the giggles like being knocked off my feet and up into the air. I land and start laughing. I've...

Louis when someone who is bi-polar is in a manic phase it's just as an irrational state of mind as someone in a depressive phase. Actually brain scans of people in a manic phase have shown the entire brain acting all at once instead of little spots of activity here and there. One of the main proble...

What every artist wants is for you to not f*ck with him . He is either planning or executing a creative act. I sort of understand what you're saying. I'm not an artist - far from it. But your descriptions of things do make me at least understand the mind set and what happens at the extremes. I only...

Let's just say I spend a lot of time on the side of the lists listening to both other fighters watching and spectators watching. They always make me smile.

However I dont see the need, nor the logistical/defensive rationale for steel breasts. I had a lady once explain to me (not an SCA fighter, mind you) that getting hit in the chest produces a surplus of pain with respect to the force inbound, in a manner similar to a man getting hit in his wedding t...

Respirator / greaseless compound question
So I'm reading the labels (yes, I do that with everything) on the greasless compound I bought here. This stuff. And the label says: Warning : Always wear MSHA or NIOSH approved respirator and eye protection while buffing. Inhalation of silica dust may cause silicosis. Buffing causes lint and silica ...

But why the cats eye affect?.....why a single linear shape? A complete guess, but notice how the break is parallel to your striking surface? Maybe your hits were sort of rocking it back and forth there and weakened it. Like if you took a piece of sheet metal and bent it back and forth a bunch of ti...

Greaseless compound/sisal wheel question
Ok, this is a dumb one. How to you apply the compound to the wheel? Casell mentions a rake you prep the surface with, and after that something called "Glu-Tite Greaseless Wheel Prep" that they recommend. Then you put the compound on. My question is...how? Do you spin the wheel up and goop ...

Free $5 gas card
It's for a Chevron station. There are none within 150 miles of my house so it's useless to me.
First response to this thread gets it.
One thing though - there has to be a Chevron station near you. You have to use it yourself. Don't grab it and sell it to someone else, please.

Cool looking calculator. I have something similar for my own use. I'd advise anyone using it to manually check the numbers for themselves though. Do your own math. If I were building something, I'd go for exact measurements, not approximations. My first yurt was a near-failure for doing this exact t...

A finished roof ring. Finally.
This is my "trainer ring" - the one I made and screwed up. Since it wasn't right I decided to practice everything I need to do on this one first. It has misdrilled holes. And a few spare holes where I used it to calibrate my drilling rig for the next ring. They're plugged up though. But fo...

Advice on beginning oil quenching
I've been going over this thread and I've decided that I need to ditch my water quenching and switch to oil. If it has a chance of eliminating my warping issues I have to give it a try. So, I figure I'm going to need about a small garbage can full of some kind of decent quenching oil. I'm not being ...

Thanks, Russ. Offer still stands too, for both you and Audax. I'd be more worried about de-carb if you baked it too long and didnt have control over the atmosphere. Adding a little charcoal in the kiln will greatly help that. Neat idea! I'll probably try that. Do you think it's a worthwhile thing to...
