This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.
You can drag and drop to rearrange.
You can edit widgets to customize them.
The bottom has widgets you can add!

Some widgets have options that are only available when you get a premium membership.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!

I think the title says it all. The work I do in the air force is easy, but not as.... fullfilling as bashing red hot steel scrap into something useful. The only thing I've done creation wise is a custom paint job on my headset for work, but that comes nowhere close to what I'm used to. They do have an autoshop here, but I don't really have the time to do anything and I don't think they allow people to make "weapons". I miss having my own shop where I can do as I please without having to worry about people who can barely turn a wrench or swing a hammer peeking over my shoulder making comments about something they know nothing about. I don't know. I may just be venting. Maybe I'll find someone with a shop nearby who will let me use it on weekends when I have time.
I took a look at your stuff and I'll give you some advice right now. Buy some files and move away from using power tools for finishing. Also, try and get some good hardwood for your handles. It looks like you're using pine, which is not a good handle material. Hickory or oak is preferable. If you happen to know someplace that throws out old wooden pallets or crates, thats a good source. Oh, and buy a few books on knife making and read up on heat treating. So, Files Better wood Heat treating
Oh, and try to stay away from fantasy knife designs. They're junk IMO.

thanks. i haven't had the chance to heat treat any of my blades, because my dad wouldn't let me do that. i now got promision, so from now on they will be heat treated. and i'll look for some different wood. but thanks a lot!
thanks for the add! If you want to chat about very portable forges- let me know! You can at least work on knives and such with them- even in a carport or patio. Easy, and not terribly expensive at all!
