[Ezteq]

That chain real ? Kinda looks abit shit and new...

sorry hag but if you'd read his post you'd have seen he actually made it himself!! which i am going to say shows a lot of talent and patience and to say it looks a bit shit.... well give us a pic of the armour you made and lets compare it shall we?

*throws pink wafer biscuit at haggus*


on another note i actually used to collect my own toenails, had a big jar of them (was only a kid i think about 15 at the time) but was because i'd heard of this voodoo thing where if someone gets a toenail clipping they can stick a hex on you. me mum found it and chucked it out (and im not entirely convinced she didnt use the opportunity to put a hex on me at the time) also collected beer mats and hub caps and had them stuck on me bedroom walls (again was about 15/16) and i used to have an insect collection too which im not proud of cos i had to kill them myself and mount them in petre dishes, but all the worms in me worm farm were alive and got set free.

 

[liloe]

thanks if you are refering to me. do you have photos of your tin cans?

When I come home tomorrow I will try to make some nice photos =)

 

[evzy]

I collect dodo's, keep em in teh basement next to the heads......


Which reminds me, haven't fed em in a few weeks, hope they are ok.....

 

[Amanita]

I used to collect soaps because I always got at least one cool-shaped and nice smelling one for christmas...

 

[tris-]

if the police raided my house then id be hoping they had a legitimate reason first.

there is nothing illegal about collecting legal weapons.

and about being able to use my weapons.

i dont collect the swords to use them, i simply admire their construction and looks etc.

the guns i can use. the photo of that can was only from about 20 m away though. still used the iron sight and not the red dot. usually if there is space i can hit from 60m away with the magnum.

 

[Marc]

Am I the only one with a collection of road signs, fair ground lights/signs, roadworks equipment and generally shit from nights out?

Nope, me and my friends have a cracking collection we have amassed over the years including, cones, the illuminated box things with an arrow on from a traffic island, road signs, trees, garden gnomes, some army chemical warfare clothes lines with charcoal, 2 policemans helmets, an illuminated boddingtons sign from the side of a pub (my mate ended up in hospital, yanking that off the wall, still works tho!) and an 8 foot fish that used to hang at the side of a chippy. Want to know how good our local police force are? They collared me dragging the 8ft fish down the road and just laughed and let me go with it.

 

[Yshynsin]

Nah, to be serious now, i collect tropical fish, got a tank next to pc

 

[Tilda]

I dont really collect much though, but if I ever find myself with money to burn I wouldn't mind the odd sword to hang on the wall next to the fireplace.

Lamp, I want a MB, but being a poor student can't afford one I'm stuck with a nice Parker though (dont laugh!) so I'll cope. Dunno how people can write with biro's after writing with a fountain tbh, i lurve them

Pft. who needs armour, i just use my ubber dexerity and parrying ability.

And to be far chain really isn't that hard to make i think what haggy meant was it looks shit as in it looks like the tin man from planet zog.

 

[Tilda]

[Bubble]

Nothing impressive here.


I collect Marvel Comics that feature the character 'Thanos' (i have orginal Infinity Saga first prints, and around another 30 odd extras)
I have a vast m:tg collection (around 30k from Arabian Nights to the most current set)

Thats about it i guess, boring i know compaired to you guys who have crap loads of weapons.

 

[Dandare]

I collect credit card bills, phone bills, gas bills, electric bills, and solictors letters my collection is amazing and all pristine and unopened for future value.

 

[Laddey]

I'll collect lots of things in 13 days and 22 weeks, bits of mud from differnt countries, ammo from differnt guns etc!!

 

[Yshynsin]

Army mission? where you off to matE?

 

[Ezteq]

dont tell him, he's a spy!!!!!



btw rofl@ marcs 8ft fish, when the police stopped you you might have said something like "pfft, should've seen the one that got away!" or "call me ishmael" or something like that lol.

 

[Haggus]

*throws pink wafer biscuit at haggus*

Pfft, when I get a pic of mine I'll show you

And btw chain that looks new and sparkely isn't really appealing for those sort of people who wear it. The rusty it is the better. Thats why I called it shit

I didn't mean it in a harsh way at all. Was just saying !

Anyway, fyi making one of those does require patience but not talent If I can do it everyone can.

Mine has leather bits at the arms so you don't chaffe(sp?) when you wear it because I use it alot.

*throws waffer back at Ezteq* xD

 

[Ezteq]

rofl


ok ok lol calm doon, you dont have to explain yourself to me... just to jebus!


*throws wafer back.... after dipping it in tea!!*

i made a catapult out of a bra once, didnt work very well but ended up shooting the bra catapult out of my black widow catapult and zee cups acted like very small parachutes.

never made armour though.

 

[Haggus]

I didn't mena that in a rude way

I'll just eat the waffer now and sit down

<3

 

[Ezteq]

aye fgs eat the bloody thing, its all covered in fluff now from being lobbed all over creation, poor bicky

 

[Mey]

Haggy just buy a gamberson noob.

 

[Darksword]

OK IVE GOT ONE!!!!!!!!!!! RECORDS!!!

hip hop/reggae only, just starting my collection as of today. why? because i want to mess about and make my own music.

 

[Haggus]

aye fgs eat the bloody thing, its all covered in fluff now from being lobbed all over creation, poor bicky

Yea but it tasted good

 

[Equador]

Collecting lots of bottles from various alcoholic beverages I consumed

 

[Outlander]

boob folds.

 

[Infanity]

A list of the people you banned on freddyshouse

 

[noblok]

Biro's for life! Have to be black ink ones though, blue ink just looks so ugly .

I just can't write decently with a fountain, it's so slow when compared to a biro. Pencils are off course even faster, but they have the (minor) disadvantage that I can no longer read what I've written 2 days later .

I don't really collect anything. I hope to have lots of books later, but I wouldn't call myself a collecter, as most of them are only paperbacks .

 

[Blackjack]

I don't collect anything. But then again.. i never throw anything out so i guess i collect everything

 

[confused]

im only an amateur on swords, but i didnt think straight up steal would be good for practicial use?

isnt it likely to snap and fly in your face, where carbon steel doesnt?

im gonna go shoot some cans up in a bit, so i will show some photos of what the beast can do.

Different types of steel, depending on how it was treated when heated i.e. Hardenned/toughenned/ sprung etc. And whether it's folded like traditional katana's. Also Carbon steel is infact more brittle, thus more likely to snap, but it is also harder...

 

[confused]

So for a sword you'd cool the body down fast, while leaving the edge with less cooling. Sounds odd ? Ok, apply a thick mudcoating on the body, while only a thin one on the edge.

Doh didn't see this.
To slowly cool one edge, clay was applied to it, thus holding in some of the heat and acting like insulation. Doing this made one side cool faster, where as the side which cooled slower expanded more, forming the curved shape that many swords are.
