Anyone know an actual SHOP that sells vinyl leather? I have a sample I need to find more of & pics on the net've been misleading so far. 18:32:57, 2012-02-10

@jackalesque We're getting a Chinese takeaway in the evening. Aside from that, no. Just working as usual. in reply to jackalesque 00:41:37, 2012-02-09

Room's freezing this morning. Probably the laundry I've had piled against the radiator to dry. Ooops. 09:44:28, 2012-02-09
@HaloHusky Is it actually that good? It sounds weird. in reply to HaloHusky 09:44:50, 2012-02-09
@HaloHusky Bit of a hard sell, never had much love for custard. XD People keep telling me I've "never tried proper custard" tho, so.. in reply to HaloHusky 10:06:58, 2012-02-09
@HaloHusky Lol, okay okay, I'll keep my eye out to try one :) in reply to HaloHusky 10:12:20, 2012-02-09
@FlowerAssassin Nope, down from here. Someone must have posted something negative about Putin again. in reply to FlowerAssassin 10:14:28, 2012-02-09
@HaloHusky I like Nutmeg. As long as it's not overloaded with it, sounds yummy. :) in reply to HaloHusky 10:15:31, 2012-02-09
@HaloHusky Probably still rather have a banoffee tart tho. ;) in reply to HaloHusky 10:15:51, 2012-02-09
@FlowerAssassin Can't recall, but since it got bought by a Russian company it gets DOS'd by their government regularly. in reply to FlowerAssassin 10:24:10, 2012-02-09
@FlowerAssassin Opening it to a Russian market attracted a lot of people wanting freedom of speech. Their government doesn't like that. in reply to FlowerAssassin 10:24:58, 2012-02-09
@FlowerAssassin It's an ideological thing. They're not attacking it because of particular comments but to dissuade a crowd of people. in reply to FlowerAssassin 10:37:19, 2012-02-09
V tired today. Misread a video title as "Deus Ex: Human Roflution". Which to be honest, if I ever did a playthorugh.. 12:45:59, 2012-02-09

@HaloHusky Replied to your FA submission so you have my drawing-account name. Considering how much I actually use it tho..! 16:18:09, 2012-02-09
Think this headache's the product of too little natural light. 17:40:23, 2012-02-09
Tea Dragon's horns have been posted. Need to top-up my phone. Chinese meal in about an hour. 17:41:14, 2012-02-09
Also found part of a sofa with the perfect leather pattern on outside post office! Got it home, has turned out to be real not vinyl. :( 17:42:23, 2012-02-09
@karaspita It's quite thin but tough. Furniture leather. Maybe a couple of square meters worth. I may try using some still, but not all. in reply to karaspita 18:08:30, 2012-02-09
@karaspita It's sort of red-brown btw. in reply to karaspita 18:09:05, 2012-02-09

@ZeroShiBlue Hey, happy birthday. I think. Was one day before not after mine, right? 14:49:07, 2012-02-08
@Evilsquirrel123 Good luck Sqrl! in reply to Evilsquirrel123 14:55:49, 2012-02-08
Such a brain-dead day. Gggggghhhhh. I'd be going out to buy a tube of filler if I wasn't sure my head was full of it already. 14:58:20, 2012-02-08
Just had another order come in. I think I can justify that Farnell order now. But first, off to buy paint & filler. 15:14:55, 2012-02-08
Why the heck are PayPal advertising an debit card for the account that you can only get by invite? 15:23:12, 2012-02-08
@TinyTeaDragon Sadly not. Will have to rip the roofing felt off come summer and re-do it all. Repairs aren't holding anymore. in reply to TinyTeaDragon 16:34:12, 2012-02-08
If I add a tiny speck of brown to the base resin of these horns, the yellow varnishing should look about right. 16:43:28, 2012-02-08
Also Homebase; you charge far too much for a screw. #Hurr 16:44:02, 2012-02-08
@syn I also like #5; Imply you're starred in homemade pornography with their boss. in reply to syn 16:47:38, 2012-02-08
Millicano is rather good. Doesn't upset my stomach half as much as the cheap instant coffee. 16:52:54, 2012-02-08
Still, freezing down here. Currently 6c here in the workshop. Someone come cuddle me. Or give me a neoprene suit full of puppies. Either-or. 16:54:00, 2012-02-08
@JezzKitty If you walk in and they say anything about "test subjects", run. If that desperate, come back with a "volunteer" in tow. in reply to JezzKitty 16:55:22, 2012-02-08
@JezzKitty Not that I can leave running overnight. The fan heater's been running a few hours. Up from 1.3c this morning. in reply to JezzKitty 16:56:20, 2012-02-08
Am imagining the Ken Livingstone campaign slogan to be; "Just the sort of bastard we actually need." 17:29:26, 2012-02-08
Makes me imagine a Boris Vallejo style poster with Ken's face plastered over the hero with Boris clinging plaintively to his leg. #sorry 17:30:58, 2012-02-08
Second fan-heater plugged in. Electric bill rising. 17:40:06, 2012-02-08
@HaloHusky Heyup, how's it been going since Expo mush? :3 17:42:00, 2012-02-08
@HaloHusky Crash-landed but back up and better than ever now! So also busy busy. XD in reply to HaloHusky 17:48:03, 2012-02-08
@HaloHusky @Evilsquirrel123 I rather hope so. Building little AI's is about the only way I'm having kids at this rate! XD in reply to HaloHusky 18:03:42, 2012-02-08
Need to double-check there is a model of the bike that does come without an immobiliser. 18:30:12, 2012-02-08
Doubt I'm going to end up much of a communal rider, but this Vespa is making me dream of just fucking off and camping whenever I like. 18:45:09, 2012-02-08
These antlers are attached to a reasonable chunk of skull. Amazed by how the bone plates interlock. Like puzzle-pieces. 20:46:08, 2012-02-08
The edges are all verigated closely but not actually joined. They literally lock together. Small gap once filled by cartilage maybe. 20:47:25, 2012-02-08
@JezzKitty Yup! Pair my dad's had around for potentially carving. Being allowed to clean them up to take moulds from. :3 in reply to JezzKitty 21:06:28, 2012-02-08
@JezzKitty In a straight line from base to tip, 18" long. Can't recall what sort of deer off the top of my head though. in reply to JezzKitty 21:07:27, 2012-02-08
@JezzKitty Might be white-tail, but seem a little straight comparing to google images. Dad gets back sunday, can ask then? in reply to JezzKitty 21:09:35, 2012-02-08
@JezzKitty Inclined to say maybe a small Red deer. Send me your number could shoot you a pic on my phone? in reply to JezzKitty 21:11:20, 2012-02-08
@JezzKitty Sent! Note one on the right has a chip I need to rebuild before moulding. Top tips on left split a bit higher than right too. in reply to JezzKitty 21:25:36, 2012-02-08
@JezzKitty Probably Red Deer then. Sure I'd remember him saying "Elk". :) Gonna be tricky to make replicas of either way! XD in reply to JezzKitty 21:29:43, 2012-02-08
Heaters have been on all day. Temp still only 16c. One last shot at casting in this temp then have to call it for the night. 21:30:51, 2012-02-08
@JezzKitty Technically they're on loan, but yeah. If there's that much difference, I'll keep my eyes peeled for you. :) in reply to JezzKitty 21:31:41, 2012-02-08
@JezzKitty I *think* he got them from his girlfriend whose former husband had lots of jewellery-making materials you can't get anymore. :3 x in reply to JezzKitty 21:37:50, 2012-02-08

@FlowerAssassin Hehe XD in reply to FlowerAssassin 22:48:08, 2012-02-08
Colours look good. Will demould tomorrow to give them firming-up time, but think that's TeaDragon's horns done. 23:03:39, 2012-02-08
Totally out of black pigment now though, so hope so. 23:06:38, 2012-02-08
Right, time to shower & sleep. 23:09:07, 2012-02-08

Okay, sync motor gearbox conversion a failure. Still, something else off the to-do list and nearly warm enough to start casting. 14:11:30, 2012-02-07
Anyone finds a ~30rpm synchronous UK mains motor knocking about, let me know. Cheapest on ebay is £11 with postage. :P 14:38:34, 2012-02-07

Horns all filled. Tomorrow will find enough screws to re-mount them for touching up storage-damage. Then to work out where to silicone them. 22:35:28, 2012-02-07
Workshop's too cold, kitchen has cats, bedroom full of shite. 22:35:48, 2012-02-07
Will also be aiming to knock out a couple of overdue orders to get them out the way and asses my casting supplier a bit clearer. 22:36:27, 2012-02-07
Will be sure to make some resin master horns this time around so don't need to worry about peeling varnish on the originals. 22:39:20, 2012-02-07
@TinyTeaDragon Yes, they're my highest priority item now. Sorry for not getting to them sooner. in reply to TinyTeaDragon 23:11:57, 2012-02-07
