Sharp pointy items? These 2 sites have most of the essentials- www.budk.comwww.trueswords.comLooks like it might be the same company with 2 fronts. Budk has some interesting polypropylene and beechwood practice swords. Would like to get one of their cheepie Damascus blades to use as stock for grinding up smaller trade knives.

Just about EVERYTHING you need to know about painting and firing on stained glass. www.glasspaintersmethod.com/stained-glass-painting-techniques . Old school says you draw out your design, fire, detail, fire, shade, fire, lots of firing. these guys show you how to do it bass ackwards and fire only once. Their videos are loooong and a bit boring, like JRR Tolken's books but if ya want the knowledge just keep watching.

Does the far east move yer soul? Grab some culture here- www.koistory.com/blog/koi-fish-meaning-and-mythMuch easier to raise Koi than shark and Kraken out in the desert. Iffins ye enjoy water lilies ye might want ta stick with the sharks. Koi is vicious with underwater potted plants. Kraken, eh, they just make a mess 'o yer driveway.

A few years back the Pyracy Pub was THE place to hang out. They announced closin' the doors in '16 and the site withered up like month old fruit. Still seems to be operating and is searchable. Great source of information, links, history and how to do it's. www.pyracy.comAye the link has gone ded and so has the site. Twas good while it lasted.

arizonaironwood.com/ Might have to check these local folks out when I gets around to making more belt buckles. A tad pricey but cheaper than replacing home workshop saw blades with industrial ones. Mesquite/Ironwood not healthy fer inexpensive blades. Stuff is HARD.

Affordable CNC router kit? $500. I runs a Thermwood 40 at mundane job. Takes up 20 times the floor space, needs 200 amps, 3 phase power, and costs... just under 6 digits. This little kit might be the ticket for a small garage operation that don't need .003 tolerances. www.makermadecnc.com/
