If that looked familiar, this was the inspiration.

7* full sets of die to make up the one I was after...

* yes, I know that's 8 sets, I got a bonus d20 from it.

Finally remembered to get some spare blades for this, so I don't need to worry if I trashed the few I had doing crafting stuff (larger blade for cutting thicker leather), hence the lanyard upgrade. 😁

Lanyard upgrade

Putting together a little pouch of tools to go in my day bag. Probably don't need all the trox bits, so can lighten it a bit, but between the pliers and the ratchet, should have quite a bit covered. 😁

Isn't that Caitlin Doughty's wrestling name?

More crafting materials 😁

Checking screw length

The Dark Side of the Dice

A toast: Absent friends.

NTS - while it could be amusing, probably not the best idea to call this my "Dr AntiFa cosplay" at the pub later in the month...

New 4' whip from the same maker. 😁

I now need to tidy up enough clear floor space I can actually set them up and see how they sound. 😅🤣

Much as I love my little 65w practice combo, something but I bigger was needed. I've had the SD Powerstage 700 Bass amp a while, the Barefaced Super Compact T just arrived. 😁

12mm stripey ebony

This was about 180g, nicely weighty considering it's about 5x42cm. Based on that I'm estimating the two choppers will be about 400-450g each, which seems a good compromise* compared to my 1020g purpleheart monster chopper.

And by compromise I mean easier to carry, easier to use, still impactful.

Sanded, oiled and waxed 12mm striped ebony "ruler"

A new shiny (and the belt loop I made). Custom 6' paracord bull whip in black and red, via Etsy.

Made a new sheath for my Nessmi.

Added paracord lanyards to a set of knives.

After a few teething issues I think I've now got my new pedals all working... (at least until I try to add the midi controller)

And after syphoning. Now to let it rest for a bit*

Blueberry mead before fermenting

Remake of an anodised aluminium and epdm rubber Japanese 6in1 bracelet, slightly smaller as the original was sized for me

A stainless steel and epdm rubber vertebrae weave bracelet

A recent maille commission - vetebra weave collar in stainless steel and epdm rubber with 25mm welded rings at front and sides as anchor points and 20mm welded rings on the ends.

Black and oxblood 3 section belt plus alternative buckle section and alternative middle section I'm still working on.

A pair of whip crackers using a slightly thicker monofiliiment (0.218mm instead of 0.12mm). Slightly easier to handle, coil and twist.
