  9. So as part of a personal #project to make A Thing, I needed to make a component Sub-Thing. And I couldn't think of a good way to do it. Part of it involved 3D-printing, but there was something else needed, and I wasn't sure what I could use to do that part of it.

    And after a few days, my brain (which works by batch jobs, for weird research requests like this) said "Hey, remember that episode of How It's Made that showed a jeweller doing enamelling? Something like that might work."

    So I just did it for the first time, and damn if it doesn't work. It turned out about 90% success, with a few minor blemishes here and there, and I'm certain I can do better on my next try.

    How It's Made is a Canadian national treasure.

  13. A quick #howitsmade for this #blacksmith leaf while I eat lunch. You start with a square bar. This is 1/2"/12mm. You heat it up and forge a point at the tip. Next you hit it over the side of the anvil with half face blows (hammer halfway overlapping the anvil) and rotate it 90° and do the same thing again.

  14. I just watched How It's Made - Toothpicks; Acrylic Bathtubs; Helicopters; Beer (S01E03)!
