Fabrication - Tumblr Posts
Oooh man, I finally assembled two (TWO!) items of furniture I designed! The shelves I cut this last Monday. The lamp pieces have been sitting in a box since before Christmas.
I took progress photos of the assembly of both of these, and I’ll post them with an in-depth write-up later. But for now, enjoy this final photo!
One point for everything you can identify on the shelves.
Let’s say you wanted to glue fabric to wood, but what do you use? What about glass to paper? This to That lets you choose two things you want to glue and lists what types of glue is best. (Because people have a need to glue things to other things!)
Do you also want to create ALL THE ARMOR? I’ve released a book! 5$ and I’ll teach you everything you need to know! :)
ORDER IT NOW!
Nice! There was a quick tutorial on how to make Tsurumaru’s chains by twitter user @hummel827. This trick can be used for a bunch of things, so even if you’re not into Touken Ranbu you might find it helpful!
How to make Tsurumaru’s chain.
Get vinyl tubes and wire ready and cut both into pieces of the same length. Put the wire through the tube and bend it into a loop, then chain them together by twisting the ends. Apply instant glue* to the parts that link together, and once it’s completely connected spray paint it.
*She used Aron Alpha aka Krazy Glue in this quick guide, but other brands should do just as well, like e6000 industrial adhesive for example.
As promised a (very) rough tutorial on the armor assembly. I’m kinda messing around with my method right now, trying things in different orders and seeing what’s most comfortable for me. Still, I hope this gives people a general idea. If you have any questions or if something is unclear, let me know.

Craft Foam Armor Tutorial
I got a lot of questions about my armor so I decided to put together a decent tutorial. I hope it helps!
I also made a post comparing craft foam armor to craft foam leather armor. Check it out if you’re interested and don’t hesitate to send me any questions!

cannot stop thinking about how good the fabrication of consent in squid game was… like yeah, the participants consent! over and over, from agreeing to the slapping game to ringing up the number of their own accord to meeting at the location to signing a separate sheet once more upon arrival… they can even disband the game if the majority decrees it. but this is all performative. because of course they’ll agree - of course they’ll come back.
the second episode is even all about addressing this ‘consent’, and that potential audience superiority: “so why don’t they just leave???? if they can??? why did they even do all this to start with?? it’s so extreme, to do all that just for money, i would never”
because, the show says, look at what they’re returning to. look at the life that’s offered as their alternative. debt up to their ears, money-brokers beating them up, poverty at its worst. do you see? do you see how yeah, joining that game is optional, but it’s optional in the sense of choosing to be stabbed or shot: theres consent, but not actual desire. that theres agreement, but under exploitation. there’s a reason only poor people are chosen to compete and it’s so obvious but i fucking love how the show handles it and addresses any audience superiority anyway
