Fun fact: one of the original reasons I wanted to make the jump from acid etching to metal casting was my love of glass enameling, and yet I've done very little of it since! These two are fine silver and transparent glass and they shine beautifully in the sun 🤩 #handmade#furryowned#metalworking

I'v always wanted to do more physical, hands-on work like metalworking, carpentry and sewing

#skystorians Maybe it's obvious, but I cannot for the life of me make sense of this one letter (or word) in the red circle. Is it a peculiar looking V, resulting in Vischer—like the metalworking family? It doesn't strike me as an E (cf. the green circle). Any thoughts? 🗃️ It's 19thc. German.

Fourth picture is by Paul Hardy (1862-1942). Popular illustrator of his time, particularly of historical adventures. Expert on medieval armor and metalworking, he made his own set (pictured below).

Yeah maybe I do want to end up making furniture as a business how else am I going to get my woodworking and metalworking skills good before I hit the grave

Yeah. I mean the pottery wheel was big for art and civilization simultaneously. Heating kilns and reaching higher temps, metalworking. Reflections on anatomy, geometry and optics drove the realism of renaissance painters and sculptors. Really can’t dissociate them, that’s a good point.

Everyone in my field talks about dual-use technologies but no one talks about dual-use hobbies. So far I'm trying out birdwatching and ham radio - are there others I should know about? Metalworking, archery... operating heavy machinery?

Indeed a most frightening and urgent assessment. Yet still we don’t see, after soon three years, the necessary arms factory builds and expansions, metalworking machinery orders, the necessary defence industry personnel hires. Europe is still in full denial of the post-2014 situation.

But laying out your apartment and basement workshops in the tenement are both a ton of fun. Here's my basement workshop. I have stations for every sort of activity from mashing, fermenting, distillation, cooking, metalworking, growing vegetables, raising fish, doing chemistry, etc...
