No, really, I can't see you.

Well, I can, just not very well.

I wonder what I should do with the Tumblr account I've not nowhere to delete.

Hmmmmm.

I have acquired so many new followers lately- my eager audience must be dying for my content...

Suggestions?

What is this? The end. The beginning. The dawn of the next age of this world. My age.

Man, Sata- I mean, The Wyrm sure knows what he's doing with the whole temptation thing.

Pfffft... I don't know, should I post here again?

I probably should just not continue this fan art of Shelob from the LotR Shadow of War game...

That's probably an awful idea...

This was a lot of fun to print. Some of the biggest pieces and certainly the largest composite piece I've made so far. I printed this at 100% of the original model dimensions and it may be just a hair too small for me, ah well, the kids will love it. Now to figure out how to properly keep the pieces together and in a way that can be taken on and off properly, cause right now it's being held together with packing tape and good intentions. #3dprinting #3dprinted #ironman #helmet #shellhead #buckethead #armor #cosplay #costume #toy #diy #maker #wip https://www.instagram.com/p/CGOpSc2pP9P/?igshid=53isebod6nqo

Restoring this #longsword is going to be rather more involved than the last two. At the time of the fire, it was on the wall in its scabbard. The fire reached it and it was hit by the firehose and sat in its soaked leather scabbard in a thick coat of soot for weeks before we could retrieve it. We threw out the rotted, charred remains of the scabbard immediatly- though I do still have the very rusty chape. The soaked leather made for some interesting patterns of rust. There is an etching on both sides of the blade I hope I can retain in the process of cleaning... The handle had been wrapped with some sort of cord. I guess it was synthetic given how what little of it remains is a bubbly melted mess. I'll do an initial scrub with #steelwool and see where that gets me. https://www.instagram.com/p/CCZBYM2pAJ2/?igshid=c09wq9qg50bw

The #ringhilted #bastardsword was the furthest from the fire and wasn't hit by the fire hose. Since it was sheathed at the time of the fire, it really only had some soot coating the grip, pommel, crossguard, and sheath. The leather of the grip and sheath were pretty clean. They're likely finished in some pretty good oils and didn't really absorb anything, but just in case I rubbed on a coat of beeswax- if there is anything in the fibers of the leather, it shouldn't be coming out any time soon. The pommel, hilt, throat and chape of the scabbard were all coated with a gross layer of soot. As with the bronze sword cleaning last night, #steelwool made short work of it. While I was at it, I polished and oiled the blade as well. The next project will be much more of a project, and I expect it will not be so easy... https://www.instagram.com/p/CCXnMpkJ5CX/?igshid=178efgfdt0567

Well, it is indeed good to begin a project with an unmitigated, unqualified success. Someone helpfully pointed out that #bronze doesn't rust. So, I decided to clean the #bronzesword first. I cleaned first with a sponge and dish soap which removed basically nothing but it felt slicker, less dusty. Given that there's #asbestos in the #soot and #ash, it can't hurt to have wet it down to discourage it from getting into the air. Then I hit it with #steelwool. Instant success. Just took a few minutes. Then hit it with a #buffingbit and #polishingcompound on my drill. #sword #swordcleaning #swordcare #bronzeage #softmetal #firerecovery #smokedamage #shortsword https://www.instagram.com/p/CCWZ5QzpIRB/?igshid=14l0l75ekdvcr

Trying to get this #mandolin properly #InTune with itself- frustrating. The #floatingbridge is not placed properly, so while I can get the courses in tune when simply played open, as you travel up the #FretBoard things quickly get out of tune. The 7th fret SHOULD match the next course, instead it's notably sharp and the 6th fret is flat- it would be next to impossible to get this thing in tune with itself by ear. Also, the 12th fret should finish a full scale on that course, but it too is sharp. Aaaaaaaaaaaaa The 12th fret is 172mm from the nut and it was 178mm from the bridge, they should be equidistant. I've moved the bridge closer, still sharp. I'm gonna explode https://www.instagram.com/p/B_SMcYsJ7wq/?igshid=16h4ud30fe3qg
