My youngest child declared himself ACE and wanted a black ring, so this morning’s project was to machine a ring to size and fire blacken it (what else would a #blacksmith do?)

I started with some 22.5mm round high torsion stainless bar and machine out the centre on the lathe. I then progressively snuck up on the right size with a dremel and hand sanded to finish before heating and quenching in oil multiple times to blacken it.

"Why, here in America, the seeds of racism are so deeply rooted in white people collectively, their belief that they are `superior` in some way is so deeply rooted, that these things are in the national white subconscious. Many whites are even actually unaware of their own racism, until they face some test, and then their racism emerges in one form or another." - Malcolm X

Still. Fuckin. True.

@Siphonay@octodon.social at my lab we also run old computers on win8.1, because of the low ressource demand and high compatibility in old drivers.

Hi! I’m a trans NB artist messing around with different mediums, fleshing out the things me and my partner find in our world-building sandbox. I use original fiction to process the queer+autistic experience, and dream up post-capitalist anti-patriarchal communities and lifestyles.

I.e. here be drawings of WLW and femme enbies, occasional musical attempts and nods to anarchism. Also random creatures and satanic undertones.

I am quite happy with the heroforge.com online miniature generator. The next d&d group will be printed and painted :abunhdhappy:

marveling about the pragmatism of German language:
Bohr-Maschine, Wasch-Maschine, Näh-Maschine, Spül-Maschine - it's just what you do and put 'machine' at the end... or:
Werk-Zeug, Flick-Zeug, Schuhputz-Zeug, Feuer-Zeug, Spiel-Zeug, Flug-Zeug - are just various 'things'.
And in English you have like 'drill', 'toy', 'plane' instead, which is so much more compact.
The language is a mess, I guess...

@troubleMoney your hog cafe makes me so happy; thank you for sharing this :abunhdhappy:
