Doyle has learned how to open the woven box my spouse uses to hide hit cat toys.

Ehh. They cap your medals at 250, so it does get out of hand, but I agree. The new rule makes more sense.

As long as you have an account during the Major Order, you get the rewards upon completion.

Now comes the "spite filings" on athletes just before competition.

Mainly because EVs are the vehicle type trying out driverless technology.

Comfort food from my Gran. Always a staple in the cold months.

I should be so lucky. <checks photos from 25th Anniversary last year> Oh wait. I am.

They look like comedic sidekicks\minions from an animated film.

Both are rated 10/10.

Your comment makes no sense.

Yes, they made money from sales of the game. This does not explain why they continue to publish free updates for the last 10 years.

Because most other game developers would have crapped out the initial project and moved on.

I thought their favorite letter was a Letter of Marque from the King.

Cat house parties can get pretty wild.

 

My youngest wanted to make dice as a yule gift. We got the dual effect by using geode inserts for the clear with red swirls and then filled the opening with a translucent light blue.

This was then cast in a clear shell and the numbers done in silver.

I'm no dummy. I made them do all the painting, sanding, and polishing. Shot of the entire set.

 

Rule #1. PPE. Every time. Always. Even if you're just moving the chemicals, you're touching them and need PPE.

I was reorganizing my resin dyes and one of the bottles (Ultramarine Blue) had cracked on a seam due to age.

This picture is after multiple attempts at cleaning it off. Thankfully, it was just dye and not something worse.

 

d12 resin die with cherry wood curl insert and pearl white numbers.

Made these for a friend. I've already been asked for two more sets.

 

"This is What The Fox Sounds Like"

 

Unpolished set of rpg dice with cherry wood curls in the inserts.

Technically, these are the second set I've done like this. I forgot to take pictures of the first set due to a time crunch.

To make these, I fill my blank insert molds about halfway with clear resin. I then fill them as much as possible with cherry wood curls/shavings. I let them sit a few minutes before topping off with more resin and try to cram some more wood into the mold.

I had attempted this with redwood shavings, but lighter woods are almost transparent once the resin goes into the pressure pot.

 

I had offered glittery red, but they passed on it.

 

Just pulled these out of the pot and awaiting full cure before I can polish.

I am thinking of doing glittery red high values.

mold made with SiliNOT!

So I found a decent work-around for cure inhibition. SiliNOT! is a reusable silicone substitute for mold making.

It melts at temperatures above 130°F (54°C), but they suggest not going above 150°F (65.5°C), as the material breaks down at 180°F (82°C). It can also be thinned with a small amount of water for detailed parts (I add water as it begins to melt and stir in as it melts further).

While it is only good for 1-2 pulls, the material is re-meltable to re-cast as needed. I use it for recently printed SLA masters, as I am too impatient to wait for photoinitiators to "burn off" and waste way too much silicone.

My 18yo cat claimed the last of the laundry. Guess I'll just fold it after my work shift.
