Martinnfb Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 When I was her age, our dads use to fix stuff like broken bike or your wooden crossbow made out of coat hanger and a piece of 2x4. Now kids are breaking electronics with touch screens and facial recognition. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 Honestly, I don't remember. I was collecting research material to the point of complete obsession and I run out of steam. maybe riveting part was the breaking point, not sure. I know for sure, I will come back to it one day. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what happens when they make a face and the tablet doesn't recognize them. Edward has broken 3 tablets so far, 2 of them were mine. Ended up getting a cheap Samsung with a ridiculously thick silicone bumper case and he's been fine since. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The edge is like a bumper so it gives when dropped. I found it on Amazon. 5 years now and no broken screen. The tablet is slow as snot these days though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I tried to make Rice Crispy squares. It's didn't quite work out. I couldn't get the marshmallows to melt. They softened and formed a somewhat homogeneous mass but not the sticky syrupy gloop I was expecting. So I ended up with this: Tastes ok, but way too marshmallow-y. I think the marshmallows I used were too old. So off to the grocery for new ones and another try. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Ok, I went and picked up fresh (is that a thing?) marshmallows and this time they did what they were supposed to. So, success! So, the morale of the story: If at first you don't succeed, feed the evidence to the dog. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GusMac Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 All markings are on and masked off. Tamiya lacquer black is on and has had a run over with 6000 grit so next step is to bite the bullet and get the Extreme Metal aluminium on. This is where it could all go horribly wrong.... 😁 8 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
