Whoa! That is a legitimately fascinating video, thanks again for sharing. "We Can Do It" is such a great image too.

Youtube shorts might net you a little extra revenue if you have a bunch of these clips, btw, if you aren't way ahead of me, haha, i just learned about shorts.

How long did it take you to develop such a steady hand for the solder?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 49 minutes ago

So there's no glue and the metal doesn't fuse into the glass, but the overhang of the solder once it's cooled acts as a picture frame for each shard and then a complete frame for the whole piece? That's amazing.

And you definitely did great work on the smooth part of the soldering, all of those front-facing lines look very even and smooth.

Ha, easy to bump projects, i got all excited about these t-shirt designs but after four designs i started up a podcast and got super distracted throwing myself into the episodes. It's great to feel that inspiration though when you like a project so much you can be reasonably assured it'll develop into something you're proud of.

Well, I'm excited to see the new piece, thanks for sharing all this information with me, I would have no idea how something like this worked otherwise.

Are there special glass paints to use for the colors?

oh wow and it's a time-lapse, you legend!

that definitely gives me a better idea of how the process goes, thanks a lot for sharing, that was very cool to see.

so that's the copper foil at the end and then do you use a blow torch or something to melt all the pieces together?

that must be so much fun for you also, do you have a lot of projects going on at the same time or do you tend to focus on one at a time?

Ha, that's awesome, thanks for explaining. Yea, I'll definitely check out the video when it goes up, sounds like a nail-biting, rewarding process.

Very cool, it came out great.

I coincidentally looked up glass cutting recently and found videos of people cutting window panes by scoring a line and then smacking the scored section off. Is that what you do for cutting glass curves also? Your work looks too technically precise for the smacking method I saw.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 hours ago (11 children)

wow, that's very cool. so you have to cut each piece of glass for each finger bone like that?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

absolutely, you'll be good.

I could barely count to ten and knew how to say pho, and still enjoyed my entire trip and made friends, so you'll be fine.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

haha me too, i thought it was pretty funny there.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

Very well.

I spoke nearly no Vietnamese and bikepacked across rural northern Vietnam for 3 months after buying my bicycle in Hanoi.

People in the city can speak some English, but even if they can't they're so earnestly helpful that I was able to easily buy clothes, bicycle repair items, get my bicycle repaired, buy food everyday(pho lyfe) be invited to tea and then a family feast, take shelter from a rainstorm, the stories of their generosity go on.

It's definitely a good country to visit.

The mountains are pretty magical, and every single person was extremely helpful and gracious, either in the city or way out in the tiny mountain villages

no, why?

Are you asking another "is this possible at all" question?

 

The joke was always right there.

looks like this guy beat me to it:

While A Tribe Called Quest may not have been talking directly to you, or about traveling, they still got it right.

If you are wondering if you can travel, the answer is overwhelmingly yes.  Hundreds of people who have never traveled before have asked me from all walks of life, at all ages, in any number of circumstances and my answer after hearing about their lives, has always been yes, they can travel.

solved, thank you! I hid read posts.

Checked that option again, and there it was.

I made a new account, community and post today at [email protected] and when I'm logged in I cannot see my post in the community, but when I am not logged in I can see my post.

why is this happening?

thank you.

My favorite foods living in China.  I tried to think of one favorite food and came up with 15 immediately, so there'll be a few episodes of favorites.

啤酒烤鸭(Beer-fried duck), 西红柿鸡蛋面(tomato egg noodle soup), 红烧牛肉(soy-braised beef), 麻辣蒜薹腊肉(numbspicy garlic scapes with Chinese bacon) and my favorite Chinese sandwich, or, one of only two anyway(teaser) - 驴肉火烧(donkey jalapeno panini).

Have you been to China or enjoy Chinese food? What Chinese foods do you like?
