>where get marble?
http://www.sculptor.org/Stone/Marble/CarvingStonesOffered.htm
google "where do i buy stone for sculpting". Also why start with marble if you are a beginner, get the cheapest usuable stone you can find and get cracking.

actual stone mason/sculptor here

marble sculpture is pretty much dead everywhere except a few places in italy (mainly carrara) and of course the mass produced shit you mentioned from india and china.

learning how to sculpt can be self-taught, you don't really need a teacher nowadays, youtube and of course books are your friend.

first things first, you do not learn how to carve stone with marble, you start with softer material. carving marble in general is not really recommended unless you have access to pneumatic power tools. carving marble with traditional tools by hand takes extremely long.

you usually start out with limestone or softer sandstone. i do not know where you live so i can't tell you what to get.as limestone english people use portland, the french use charmot and germans usually thüster. i have no idea what americans use.

a good way to start out to get a feeling for carving (rather than sculpting with clay) would be soapstone or alabaster. these are widely available everywhere on the internet.

if you have any specific questions just ask, i can provide you with all sorts of information regarding that topic. also would be good to know where you're from in order to get you more or less local material.

ill check out the chibese supplier since im not in America

in in Australia so theres no heritage to sculpting i think. im curious about the way you learned. was it part of an apprenticeship or something along those lines? what do you tend to sculpt? is it commissioned or more of your own artistic vision? im interested in the traditional techniques but i guess the modern approach can produce the exact same level of detail?

>>1218493
Is that what they look like? Couldn't you make them yourself in a lathe and put printed stickers on them? Or even use something like bottlecaps? I'm not sure this is a good application of additive manufacturing.

Fair enough, but I really want this game to feel premium, and so want a high gloss ceramic or porcelain type material.

I wonder if I could 3d print a mold for ceramic.

Hey /ohm/ not entirely sure if this is the right place, if not please redirect me.

So I am taking apart my gfs hair straightener to try and fix it but I cannot figure out how to take the joint apart. You can see in the first pic I took a small screw out and it looks like there is a pin in there to hold the sides together, on the other side (next pic) the same pin seems to have a hex head. I can't seem to turn it or push it out from the screw side. I've just hit it with some lube and I'll give it a crack in a bit but I'm pretty stuck. Any ideas?

Pneumatic lubricant. Just don't use WD40.

>>1217721
Whats closest to pneumatic lubricant? Mineral motor oil? Silicone gel? Universal grease?

>>1217740
WD40

>>1216163
That's less fixing and more causing.

How do I detach these glued poles? I need to redo the glue because a few of them are loose, making the chair weaker.

id use one of his mechanism's.
they seem pretty simple.

dunno about the bow tho

>>1219738

Research how crossbows work. Tell us about your trigger mechanism. What did people use for the bow material? What do they use now?

I'm completely serious here: look at diagrams of medieval crossbows.
da Vinci's sketches are good too.
Look up cranequin and windlass crossbows.

Use a magnet to find the nails or screws.

Just pick up a stud finder at a hardware store

Stud finder or just tap the wall and listen to where it's solid and not hollow sounding.

God this hippy fad shits gay as fuck

Cabin with a basement. Use solar for basic essentials or wood burner. Look up winterized greenhouse. Basically digging a hole and putting glass over it. Probably use a wood burner for the whole thing at that point and cut the solar. Then be bored as fuck in the middle of nowhere.

>>1217148
Those are not terrible. Get more glazes and a wheel.
