When a forum gets as old and rich as this one, it's inevitable that questions come up time and time again. Veterans rail against newbies that ask the same questions EVERY newbies asks... and then those self same veterans go off and ask questions other veterans have already asked. The fact that they are more technical and complex questions doesn't make them original. I mean really, who DOESN'T know how to get the perfect hamon on a piece of san mai made of 1084 and CPR? Child's play!

What this forum needs is a place to get answers for truly original questions.

Like "How do I heat treat ivory?". Or "Where do you go to stabilize petrified wood?""

Come on people, you can do it... ask something nobody else has ever asked! Remember, there are no stupid questions... just questions that make other people think you are stupid.

How can I grind without a respirator and safety glasses?

How can I heat treat an edge without getting it hot?

How can I make the best hamon ever with the clay from my back yard creek?

How can I learn the most advanced techniques on the internet?

Thread Lock . . . . .
 
Cyclic butylene terephthalate was going to be the next big thing, whatever happened to it?

Does anyone here use rule dies to cut out your sheath patterns?

It is possible to configure a heat treat oven to cool the part using the coils by infrared destructive interference?
 
Would this place be better served with a bullpen or minor league subforum for beginners and or hacks such as myself?

There has to be room for discussion between the super technical highly skilled stuff and the its so simple even my monkey can do it conversations. Yes its probably been asked and answered already, that doesnt mean I dont still want to talk about it.

iDK in all seriousness, perhaps this is an unoriginal question too?
 
Does anyone have a distributor for 5 gal buckets of VRhP (virgin redhead pee)?

Also, if my current shop is located at 82.7°N 114.4°W, do I point my blade tip up or down when normalizing, annealing, heat treating, etc?
 
I bought some cutting fluid, but I'm having a hard time getting it to stay on the edge of the knife so that the knife will never go dull. :)
 
I'm having problems with stick slip on the Y axis on my largest machine. I'm considering changing way lubes (currently Mobil Vectra #2), but I'm wondering if I should go up or down with it? Intuitively it seems like a heavier oil would be a better lubricant, but the ways are really wide (large surface area) and they're really flooded with oil, so I'm wondering if a thinner oil would be better.
 
Will someone please do a tutorial on a step by step lightsaber build?

Okay, just for the fun of it, I'll see if I can't answer some of these important questions for you:p


#1 - You can grind without a respirator and safety glasses easily, just don't care about your eyes or lungs. Simple as that. :D


#2 - Start with an already HTed piece of steel, and grind it carefully. this solution isn't perfect, but still, it is a solution.

#3 - Dump some satanite in your backyard creek;)
