great

should i make this my new desktop background

Nice work @turtwig I should get you to make a new handle for my grandfather's old machete. One I made kinda sucks.

@Broo TulsiGang 2024 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 she Hullite?

yus and she has a dumb phone like me

you're welcome to come for dinner when you marry her

My problem is I cannot get a drill to go through the steel, I used a cobalt metal drill and nothing

@EnderOctanus you'd probably be better making it by hand tbh

That's a weird way to ask a group of lads for sexual advice ever ?

I made it by hand out of oak

oh rip

get better at woodworking

But now I cannot drill through the steel to fasten it

I meqn it looks okay just not fancy

Like it would be cool to have some embellishments

I don't plan on using it for actual work, migut hang it up

🎷 🐉

our machine isn't fine detail

Yeah I don't even have a workbench though

I literally have to do everything the hardest way

Louisiana humidity ruins ungalvanized steel though

Had to use electrolysis to clean the thing it was so bad

Got it all shiny

Then a dqy later it was rusty again after it rained. And it didnt even rain on the machete.

I used so much oil too to protect the steel

I have considered gun bluing but I want it to have that natural bright steel look

Sounds like learning experiences to me 🤷🏿

@EnderOctanus nickel plating maybe?

cool

I don't have the know-how or supplies to do much.

The metal is amazing though I wish I knew the manufacturer so I coild get the details on the steel they used. Flexible but so hard, never seen anything like it

lithium blade

pew pew

sound like something you make leaf springs out of

Hm

I mean I literally cannot get a drill through it to fasten the new handle

turtwife's grandpa has an armory of antique firearms

Used the hardest cobalt drill I could buy
