I honestly didn't expect to be able to replace my
coping saw handle/hardware like I do with my other saws, and honestly I was doubting this design for a wooden one would hold up because I couldn't get satisfactory tension with the rope and toggle mechanism.
Then I remembered I have an assortment of bolts and such of different lengths and found one perfect for the task of tensioning the blade without having to account for the twisting torque of a rope+toggle mechanism like the other one I posted. That one can be adjusted to use 6.5 inch coping saw blades OR 5.5 inch scroll saw blades, while the newer one trades the ability to use longer blades for vastly improved turning behavior mid-cut and overall much tighter feeling joints and tensioner with noticeably higher tolerances on usable blade tightness than the rope and longer lever design could ever approach.
I walked up a small mountain today! Nighttime venture up Fushimi Inari with some new found friends. Besides occasionally ducking under gigantic spiderwebs and catching your foot against an uneven step, it wasn't so hard, or frightening. The mountain did have a way of, I don't know, imposing? on you as you hiked up and between its countless shrines wedged in collections between countless more red Torii gates. A good pair of boots and some worn-in legs helped a lot, but I'm going to sleep soundly tonight, I think.
We also had okonomiyaki with the found friends, it's like a cabbage pizza with savoury sauce and mayonnaise and your choice of meats and a buttload of bonito flakes all piled onto a hot stovetop at the center of the table. We had our doubts while the food was being made, and they brought out eggs for us (we feared we were each gonna get slapped with an extra 400 yen charge for this, but we were delightfully told it was 'service' and no charge) to cook on the stove while we waited.
If you ever get the chance, go get an authentic Japanese meat cabbage mayonnaise bonito vegetable pizza fried the way you like it. Ungh, so good.
Isn't a small mountain a hill, what's the Japanese equivalent of making a mountain out of a mole hill? Making a Godzilla out of a grumpy iguana?
It's clearly War (it wears armour), Pestilence (bubues galore), Death (I think that is a skull plate thingy), and Famine (Least obvious but it has sacks under it's eyes so that's probably that).
Nobody gives a damn about Conquest. Conquest was replaced.
Also it's a real shame they didn't go for the colours of the horses as described. That would have given them extra points in my opinion.
Conquest is bae
I'm only partial to Conquest because of East of West.
