It's all about how you advertise. You can't just pop some stuff into an Etsy page and wait, expecting people to stumble upon your little corner and buy your stuff. You need to be proactive, looking up forums and the like, posting things such as "Hey, I noticed you're into this, well I have a shop that sells this kind of thing, give it a look." Basically not being obnoxious, but letting people know you exist and what you have to sell. It's like any business, really.

Never, ever, NEVER wear long sleeves, have loose chains, or long hair that is not tied back while working a lathe. If your hair, sleeve, collar, chain catches on the lathe then you can kiss your ass good-bye. You will be pulped like this poor faggot here.

<----

So unless you're a suicidal fuck, take these words to heart.

Graphite is pure garbage. It's too brittle to last for very long. I used fiberglass rods wrapped together in duct tape for the strength and flexibility. I've done Belegarth for several years and have never had a boffer break during use. I've seen PVC shatter, and Ive seen graphite snap and stab through foam, injuring another person.

Also, Op's pic reeks of weeaboo and manchild. That person needs to learn how to make proper covers instead of going apeshit with the duct tape as well.

I have one of those. A few years of steady practice and you'll be able to pull it back as easily as you could pull your arms without the bow. Definitely wear an arm guard though. I assume you enjoy having skin there.

Post an image of this batch and a description of the taste. Also post the process.

My first batch was very, very strong. Tasted like honey, cloves, and a bit of cinnamon.

I used a yeast that they use for making very strong liquor. Got it from a specialty shop, and guaranteed to go up to 35%. I mixed distilled, purified water with the honey in a 1/2 ratio (2lbs honey to 1gal. water) and brought it to a soft simmer, tossing in my spices. I strained it, and let it cool while covered. Poured it into the fermentation chamber. Then, I warmed a cup of the mixture and mixed my Yeast into it, pouring it into the batch as I vigorously stirred. Closed it up with the pressure valve and waited a good six months. I got a few bottles of very nice mead from it.

>it isn't anything new, it has the same hardware used in smartphones and stream boxes like the hulu box, only that in a form that lets you do anything you want with it

> in a form that lets you do anything you want with it

That's why I'm so excited! The potential to turn something like that into an amazing new tool is incredible. Imagine, real Pip-Boys. Glitch, from Reboot....

Well, that is certainly very interesting! A tiny, (relatively)powerful computer that draws only two to three watts...

To think, this is basically the beginning of a whole new generation of micro-sized computers that will only continue to become smaller and more powerful. Very, very exciting.

If it had a usb port you can use a usb wireless to connect to the internet. If they are using micro usb, then maybe use an adapter?

One concern I just thought of is heat. If you are using this thing, it's gonna get real hot real quick, especially if you're playing games on it that push it's limits. Looking into a powerful miniature fan and heat sink would be a great idea.

I'm glad that it comes with linux, because it will be much easier to trade up for something better suited/more familiar.

Ok, how do I get my hands on one of these? Do you use the flash card as the hard drive? Can it be upgraded? I'm not even sure what I want to ask about this thing, because holy shit it's fucking amazing!

Does it come pre-loaded with an operating system? How would you install programs? Via USB? Via flash card? Oh my god I have SO many plans for this thing! I'm practically orgasm-ing all over the place.

<-- Pic related. My fucking face dudes.

Only if he tries to sell it without a license.

Also the Bolter in OP's pic makes mine look like shit. I wish I had access to all the needed tools and materials.

It's also incredibly overpriced. Go to a craft/hobby store and ask for modeling putty. They should point you in the right direction at the very least.

You know what? Fuck it. I'm going to build a motherfucking fingerbox.

Since we're on the subject of solar cells and solar power, I found these guys recently after doing a search for a DIY "print solar cells onto paper like MIT did" project. The company is called "Konarka" and uses photovoltaic inks printed onto plastic sheets to make inexpensive solar panels.

This is a quick overview.

With the exception of the women. They'll just bitch at me "Why don't we get a bigger house, I want to live in a nicer neighborhood, I'm not used to this kind of lifestyle..."

Absolutely, it does. I'm starting to get into it myself, but I seriously lack experience and resources so I can only do small batches of...

Well, it's not hooch. It's drinkable and really tasty, but it's not quite high quality stuff either. Pic related, my latest batch of mead.

They go alright. I just finished my long-stemmed smoking pipe, and I've got a hunting knife about half-made that I need to finish up.

A lot of projects I can't do because I lack the resources. (I.e. power tools, lathes, drill press, scroll saw, etc.) You'd be surprised at how badly you need a certain piece of equipment when you simply don't have access to it.

Try making some trinkets or whatever and selling those. Anything you make out of clay might be useless without a kiln. Since N.M. law prohibits you from working without a license, here is what you do;

Go to the local Home Depot or other large hardware store. Out in front along the road you'll see a bunch of brown people. Not blacks, Hispanics. Try to let them know you want to work with them, and try to explain your situation. They might just help you out.

Worse comes to worse, paint where you want to go on some cardboard, find an on ramp, and stick your thumb out.
