@croyle@wandering.shop I also like the scale that forms when smithing. Somehow feels like it’s been wrung out like a flannel, which 100% shouldn’t be possible with a solid.

#PhotoOfTheDay is of an F-14 Tomcat with burners lit over San Francisco Bay during Fleet week some years ago. The Bay Bridge is in the background. in c/photography@fedia.io

@croyle@wandering.shop There was a vid from Tested this week with the full size at Tippett’s workshop which was what made me think about it.

It’s possibly the closest thing I’ve ever seen to being janky without crossing the line! It’s basically Home Depot lumber and coffee lids. It’s amazing.

But yes, vacuum formed from the F-14 would be in the 8:1 scale at least.

@CroyleC@wandering.shop @croyle@wandering.shop after looking closely you cannot convince me you’ve not built that flower from dried mango and bean sprouts.
