Tag! You're it. (I hope I have recovered now.)
OK, I have now seen the reins! But I have to ask, what is 'acb'?
Confused Grandma Mary here.

Thank you acb. It shows how little I get out into the world nowadays!

The other day, my ginger Charlie surprised me with a hair makeover and combing with using his teeth and claws. I had come into the bedroom because I heard him 'whimpering' in loneliness as Simon of the 3paws had hidden himself. It was bedding wash day. I laid down next to him to rub him and then he moved around and I felt him using his teeth on my hair, then his paw. It was really weird and kind of nice actually. I realized I had been fully adopted by him.
So a cat stroking a person's hair is a very nice gift.
Much better than a dead mouse I was gifted when I was in high school. In my bed while I slept. Inside the sheets.

If we all have avatars that look like us shy people may be reluctant to join in.
And new people might get traumatized.
Because our real appearance might frighten them, or because they think they would have to reveal their own self?
The latter.

The poor rocking owl never had a real chance. Jack was fixated on returning Richard's horse to its original form. Life can be cruel.
The handcuffs could be put on the person riding the horse, with the connecting link in the crook of the horses neck. So it's a safety feature to prevent the rider getting thrown off if the horse gets too wild.. Also did Jack use waterproof glue? I would hate to see the body come off if it was being used underwater. If it 'was' used underwater it would be more of a seahorse though.

Why wouldn't he have shackles on a pegboard in his workshop? I do. 20 off 5 Tonne Lifting shackles. He's just got linked shackles of a less common design. And a VERY poorly equipped workshop. Vise, chisels, jigsaw, wood lathe, metal lathe, mini-mill, aluminium casting foundry, blacksmiths hearth, anvil - all missing (just mentally running through parts of my workshop at home). Oh yes, also missing: wood thicknesser, CNC mini router, power tools, loads of hand tools, chop saw and metal shaper. Dreadful state of affairs.
Regards,
Richard
One seahorse conversion kit later....
I have a few handy tools in my workshop. Airbrush + compressor, rivet press, romford screwdriver , hold-n-fold, rolling road, rolling bars, soldering iron , multimeter., resistance soldering iron ( which I need to learn how to use ) Just bought some new Garryflex blocks ( 120 grit ).
Rivet press looks like this one.
Thank you kindly. I love models that come apart and can be put back together to make something different. I hadn't looked at the rocking horse , or any of the toys in the Santa Toy Workshop, for source material so I'm happy you used it earlier.
@background, love that rivet press. I have seen one at work, but never played with it. Instead I have a 300kg Norton 6 Tonne Flypress, which can do the same job in the way a sledge can do the same job as a ball pien hammer.
Regards,
Richard
That's a serious piece of kit Richard, I'm sure is capable of precision work with a skilled craftsman like yourself, it's a matter of scale. My rivet press is not what it might appear, it puts a rivet shaped 'dent' into a piece of metal, no actual rivet is involved. The handle on the top is only six inches long so not much force can be applied. The rivets are only cosmetic. I'm sure a similar design could be used to press real rivets though. The rivets I am trying to represent would be only 0.2 mm dia. ( sorry I tend to freely mix metric and imperial dimensions, depending on application ). I don't think my eyesight wold let me work with real 0.2mm rivets, and really they are not intended to hold parts together, just to look like a minature version of something that was made with rivets and is 76 times larger.
Seeing your press has reminded me that it's Wednesday and I need to check out the latest 'Workshop Wednesday' from the Australian Armour Museum.. Last weeks video was two of the guys straightening out the hull sides of a WWII KV1S which had been used as a range target, with a 300 tonne hydraulic press, and a fine job they did.
Feel free to use the idea, or any part of it , if it fits with your stories. Since the original model is made by Sloshworks it's not something I could share ( and I'm sure Richard would be, shall we say 'somewhat peeved' if I did ). But I'm sure you can glue the parts back together as well, or better, than I can. Hey, maybe a seazebra, or a seamule, or a rocking dachshund...
Folks might have noticed I'm a bit more chatty than usual. That's because I'm feeling rough with what I think is mild Covid, so I'm not able to do stuff i usually do, and sitting at the computer at least takes my mind off it, and no risk of spreading it. No worries though, I have folks that can get here in 10 mins if i feel sudennly worse, and I have food and asprin and throat lozenges and suchlike. Don't want to divert the thread so enough of my minor ailments and back to Jack and Richard.
Well since Jack has handcuffs, maybe he is an undercover cop and also has https://www.daz3d.com/thief-tools. But a guy's garage needs to be kitted out with https://www.daz3d.com/everyday-tools, https://www.daz3d.com/big-time-tools, https://www.daz3d.com/woodworking-tools-1, and https://www.daz3d.com/lawn-tools-and-poses-for-genesis-8-male-s-and-female-s. I stayed away from the monster drill presses and such that made up my dad's metal shop in the garage. (He built working quarter-inch scale models of historic steam locamotives.)
I love how this is growing Barbult.
I have always treated power tools with respect, they can do a lot of damage in a very short time, and it only takes a moments distraction. I love the Nerdforge youtube channel, and Martina is a very gifted artist, but I wince whenever I see her missing finger, especially after the episode where she described how she lost it.
I thought cold chisels also tended to be quite prominent in DIY (not that I have ever been entirely sure what a cold chisel is - one that is trying too hard to be cool?). Though these days I would think most workshops are ninety percent power packs for gadgets that have stopped working and gadgets with power packs that have stopped charging.
I am relieved to see that Jack was finally able to sort out the head/body junction - not usually a problem for cats.
