2024.11.26 09:30 ParkingLow3894 Always room to learn/improve. Read about my experience with this design, and please share your experiences as you have progressed on a design or making in general, share any tricks or tools that have helped you step up your making and acheive your goals.
 | Thought we could share some of our designs when we first made them, compared to what they progressed to over time with design improvements and increased skill. Attached is my first in the copperhead style ive been making recently to the most recent update which is unfinished. I use paper for my blade designs instead of making more permanent ones because each knife I want to learn or improve. The main changes ive made were learning to shape the bolster to utilize the layers of the carbon fiber to be comfortable while opening up more layers of the carbon and how to shape them while keeping the shapes the layers produce even and symmetrical. You can see it gets better each knife, trying new things and pushing to make it just at least a little better than the last. Its like grinding damascus, you have to adjust your grinds to get the pattern to show, and on solid core and hollow grinding its easy to expose the core across too much of the bevels, so you learn to walk the bevels at diffent radius and guide the pattern to show where you want it to on the blade. Second the hump on the front of the handle has been removed, and the handle is slightly concave to flared in areas. It was plenty confortable before, and I carved it more than you can tell in the pictures, just the middle front of the handle bugged me so I said heck with it and removed the bump, and shaped it to comfort. For the flares, My uncle is always telling me how beautiful curves are and how a slight very minimal change can influence the overall look significantly. He is a woodworker and jeweler, takes knifemaking classes but is at the point of railroad spike knives. So I just keep making tiny changes to the curves in the handle, staring at the blade from all angles, and making small adjustments. The last two knives the handle design clicked, and the damascus blank in the last picture I think the handle shape really came together. I hope all of the pictures load correctly since Im writing all of this out. Would be kind of silly if only the first two load. Third is the plunge line and bevel line leading to the swoop between the primary bevel/plunge. While grinding each one of these, I tried swooping the plunge and curving the primary bevel line and end of the swedge to flow together. It wasn't that they looked bad before but had the idea in my head but just couldn't get it right, so before I got to full bevel with I would grind the best plunge and bevel lines I knew how to and do my best to make them flow as much as possible. The most recent one blade I was working on when it clicked. I freehand these on a 10" contact wheel, but had my reeder sharpening attachment just dropped low out of the way but on the machine. I lifted the bar so it supported my wrists when im comfortably grinding, and I felt a level of control over the knife I had not experienced. I tried using the work rest, it also works, just pull it farther away from the platen/wheel and take a bit of the weight off your arms by supporting your wrist but giving enough room that you can rotate the blade and lift/drop the handle by moving your hands and changing the angle of your forearm. I was also able to rearrange myself so the blade was higher up on the contact wheel and my neck is less kinked from looking straight down as I grind watching the tiny shadow between the edge and the belt as I walk the bevels. Last, the ca finish, this has been a long road. Certain woods wouldnt sand evenly, uneven spots haunted me or low spots from soft areas even in stabilized wood haunted me. Also, Tru oil, danish oil, teak oil, two years after getting their knife and washing it repeatedly I would get a message from the customer asking what finish I used and how to touch it up. I check back in with every single customer, offer to refinish it at no charge and pay return shipping, but it just never gets done. I researched for probably fifty hours until I came across a wood turning forum and the guys making wood bowels that were waterproof with ca glue. I think I started with starbond, then tight bond, tthen a worker at woodcrafters turned me on to mercury adhesives. Came in a really big bottle and the accelerator is supposed to be non fogging. Worked great, felt good, a little slippery, and I couldnt get a perfect glassy finish because I would repeatedlrepeatedly sand through the ca layer exposing bare wood and end up having to re coat the handles repeatedly, until I found an acceptable balance of shine without over thinning the finish. Mercury adhesives then brought out this flex ca glue that they designed for woodworking and its main selling point is that it wont crack if wood expands naturally, I hadn't had that problem but also they said its less likely to chip if you scrape the tang, and sand better. By god the biggest improvement, when they added the ingredients to give it flex, it went from a dry slippery shine to a hydrated grippy feeling finish. Also it layers down much thicker with less waste, the old thin ca absorbed in to the towel I use to apply the finish more, and evaporate faster. The thin flex doesn't penetrate the towel and wick as fast, but has no problem penetrating the wood grain and lays down nice and thick. Another thing, I read to do all of your layers of ca and let it sit overnight before sanding. Huge difference, shits tough, Im able to apply pressure and work out scratches without A large amount of white powder from all the ca that came off too easily/quick around the scratches. Another benefit with the ca, is that if you have highly figured, burl, curly redwood, spalted, or others that are a pain to sand due to soft spots, you just clean with acetone after shaping them on the grinder, put one quick thin layer of ca down, and everything will sand evenly, wood even sands at the same rate as pins Ive found, so I dont have to go back and flatten humps where the brass pins are swolen and poorly blended with the softer wood. Feel free to share a progression of one of your designs, tell us about hurdles you have overcome, and share any tricks you have learned that have helped you improve. Hope my experiences get some gears turning for someone! submitted by ParkingLow3894 to knifemaking [link] [comments] |

2024.11.26 09:30 Natural-Course-3381 如何评价洼地这一词语？
我知道这个词是前几年的姨学家首先使用的，他们认为从古至今都是秩序的末尾，被外界输入秩序的地方；那时候，我因为较认同这一种观点，也认可了中国是洼地的看法。 不过这几年，我的观点有所转变；一方面，了解得多了，并不认同这一种看法；另外一方面，使用洼地来形容中国和使用其他的侮辱性词语来形容外国无本质的区别，也就不用了；反而这个词现在在国内流行了起来。 不知道大家怎么看待呢？

2024.11.26 09:30 OkQuit4752 New Kindle Recommendations
I'm buying a kindle as a gift this year for my girlfriend and wondering if I should get the paperwhite over the basic? She has never had a kindle before but has read a couple of books on mine to see how she likes it. Tempted to go for basic because mint green is her favourite colour! Does the paperwhite offer anything extra other than the day/night read and the bigger screen?
I'm still using a 5th generation so no idea how they have improved in the past 10 years.

2024.11.26 09:30 Adventurous_Fly_5564 DDPG actor always taking same action during evaluation.
I am using a custom environment. Where state is representes as ( x1, x2) actions are (delta_x1, delta_x2) next state is (x1+delta_x1, x2+ delta_x2) . There is reward. During training also the actor many times goes to the boundaries of the state space. I know many people have faced this same problem, likei in DDPG the actor always takes same action. What was the problem for your implementation and how u solved it? Also any other help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

2024.11.26 09:30 H484R Printed PLA with PETG profile
 | Not anything crazy here, just found it mildly interesting. Accidentally started an overnight print, 2 halves of a boat on 2 separate printers running PLA Pro. Forgot one of them was set up with a PETG profile. Interesting what the finished product looks like after printing at 220 a/ 100% fans vs 260C w/ variable fan curves. A little loss in quality on the finer details, but dang, the layer lines almost disappeared. submitted by H484R to 3Dprinting [link] [comments] |
