How did you get the holes so smooth, sandpaper?

I use sandpaper, a grinder and grinding pastes, and I rub oil at the end

Very pretty, but it would be a nightmare to actually use with all those holes and hooks ready to catch and tangle hair.
Top_Lifeguard_5408 OP t1_iy0gvc1 wrote
No, all smooth curves are ground and polished
Astra_the_Dragon t1_iy0h2mu wrote
Unfortunately that's not enough. I had long, wavy hair for fifteen years and I'm certain that even in the best circumstances this would get tangled up.

I do want to reiterate that it looks cool af. But not practical.

I was gonna ask about what it looks like when worn and saw your other posts and different designs, they all look amazing :)

Unfortunately I can't show you. This hairpin has already found its owner. I'll wait for a review with a photo :)

Should I watch that show? I avoid knowing as much as possible about anything when I watch stuff.

Have you ever tried a chainsaw file? It would clog?

Crazyhates t1_iy15z80 wrote
Do you coat these in anything to preserve it or is that unnecessary because of the medium? I'd figure the natural oils in our hair would affect it over time.

I use a dremel, I only saw big pieces of horn

That show is fantastic. The second season is currently being filmed, so if you do watch it then you'll not have to wait too long for another season.

I cover with special paste and wax

Right on, thanks. You should check out The Night Of, or Mare of Easttown. Both A+

I believe they are talking about a tool used to sharpen a chainsaw chain.

I just bought a hair pin from you. It arrived a few weeks ago. Thank you!!!
Everyone else: You must buy this craft work. Do not delay.

Could you explain about the oil a little please? And is it applicable to woodworking, or just this material?

I just realized from this comment that there are probably a lot of people that use Google translate to communicate on reddit.
That's super cool, thank you for that.

Seconded this comment. I seriously never gave it a lot of thought until this here.
Makes a lot more sense, thank you.

I know it's a hair pin but the gamer in me says that's a primitive version of the Energy Sword.

I sometimes make hairpins for guys. They are more strict in form. But guys with long hair and business are happy to wear them.

Wow you just really like to throw hate around eh
Maybe learn how to use hair pins properly or just don't buy something that wouldn't work with your hair... personally I have hair that is almost waist length and thick and I think this would be a lovely price. Perhaps you just need more experience in how to do up dos so you don't get it caught up....don't blame a product for user error!!

You could use a nurses technique of putting an essential oil in your mask to help normally they use menthol but spruce or lemongrass could be nice as well

U81b4i t1_iy3ybjs wrote
I have been learning this process and wonder if you have the same issues that I do when grinding antler. Does the smell make you super nauseated? I am trying to work around it, but it triggers me for some reason. I use antler from white tail deer but I also smell it when I grind bone material as well. Any tricks to cover it would be appreciated. Nice work

This makes me wish I had long hair. Not enough to actually grow it back out, but damn it’s beautiful

Top_Lifeguard_5408 OP t1_iy4bhx0 wrote
I already get used to it. The strongest smell is when sawing the antlers apart. I work in a respirator.
U81b4i t1_iy4c4y9 wrote
Thanks for the info. It is one of those smells that is hard to explain. It sticks with me for days. I will have to try a better respirator because I only used one of the generic ones and it did not help smell at all. It is worse than burnt hair imo. Ideally, I want to make a full chess set using bone for black and antler for white pieces.
Top_Lifeguard_5408 OP t1_iy4e7pv wrote
I do not advise you to do this if you are so hard to tolerate this smell. Any job should be fun. My wife can't stand the smell either. I have to leave my work clothes in the workshop :)
U81b4i t1_iy4fgzo wrote
Exactly why I asked. Was wondering if it just takes a little time to become tolerant. Hits a strange spot for me and I can tolerate a lot of bad smells. This one is just different. And my wife also hates it and insisted that I stop the last time I tried it. She even washed those clothes separately but I could still smell it on the clothing for a few cycles. Thanks for the advice.

Get into woodworking. I hope you (and your wife) enjoy it :)) I wish you good luck!
