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 ๐ฌ๐ง ๐บ๐ธ 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
๐ท ๐
our machine isn't fine detail
Yeah I don't even have a workbench though
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 ๐คท๐ฟ
@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
cool
sounds like spring steel. flexible but hard as coffin nails
