We use these backs and never have an issue

They're easy to take on and off (no key needed) but stay locked on tight until ready to remove

Locking Pin Backs, yo

The bare minimum you want to do is the following -

1. Setup nano or trezor -
   
   ledger nano S crash course:
   
   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YI1OntWB7wc
   
   or
   
   trezor one wallet = ~54 USD
   
   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pT1j_kbZBEo
   
   Trezor Model T = ~164 USD
   
   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3BIo5Ac_n4
   
   
   
2. Record your 24 words on paper + record your passphrase on a separate paper you keep private and secure and separate from your hardware wallet and each other. You will both memorize your passphrase and pin + keep it in writing but not with your 24 word backup. Never store passphrase or mnemonic backup digitally.
   
   https://wiki.trezor.io/Passphrase
   
   https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005214529-Advanced-passphrase-security
   
   
3. Send a small test amount of BTC to your HW wallet receive address. You are going to send BTC to your hidden wallet with the passphrase.
   
   
4. Confirm you got the BTC, reset your HW wallet, recover it with 24 words + passphrase . Now you have trained yourself how to recover a wallet with backup and 100% confident you did everything right once you see the BTc again in your hidden wallet. Congrats, have a beer.
   
   
5. Send a small amount of BTC to your non hidden wallet(protected by pin) , and the rest to your hidden wallet(protected by passphrase). Done, have another beer.
   
   
6. You should seriously consider using a metal backup-

   --------------------------
   
   Some foundational Principles of security
   
   
7. Never store your bitcoins in a web wallet or exchange . You own 0 bitcoins if you do not control your private keys.
   
   
8. Diversify your BTC storage either split between multiple wallets from small spending amounts in a smart phone for convenience to one or multiple hardware wallets. The more Bitcoin you have the more you should begin to consider using multiple hardware wallets and BIP39 paper wallets and or multisig HW wallets configuration –
   
   https://saleemrashid.com/2018/01/27/hardware-wallet-electrum-multisig/
   
   
9. Buy your hardware wallet directly from the producer or amazon site under the producers name. Verify the integrity of the hardware wallet if you are extra paranoid :

   https://digitalbitbox.com/faq
   
   
10. Never brag about your wealth to others
    
    
11. Never invest in any investment scheme or get greedy thinking you can quickly increase the amount of Bitcoin you have with daytrading
    
    
12. Consider more secure means of backing up your 12 or 24 BIP39 backups in case of floods or fire - https://cryptosteel.com/
    Or https://billfodl.com/products/the-one-and-only-billfodl
    or https://bitkee.com/ or https://cryptokeystack.com/

    Use steel , brass, or copper or other durable metals. Wood and aluminum are unacceptable.
    
    
13. Setup your hardware wallet , transfer a small amount of btc to it, wipe it clean , and restore it to give you confidence that the backup was done right and give you experience in the recovery process.
    
    
14. Keep your Mnemonic 12 or 24 word seed secret and private and show to no one. Never use premade 12-24 word backups , you create new keys and backups upon setup.
    
    
15. Lastly Never store your bitcoins in a web wallet or exchange . You own 0 bitcoins if you do not control your private keys.

I don't know what kind you're looking for, but there are a lot of options such as one, two, and three on Amazon.

I bought a 30x jeweler's loupe off of Amazon for less than $6.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008BXQVO2/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use this to check to see if the nib is out of whack.

I've found numbered tokens to be really useful as player/enemy avatars. I specifically use these for players and these ones for enemies.

What's really cool is that it makes keeping track of initiative order really simple. The glass tokens are the perfect size so that the plastic ring from a water bottle or most sodas will fit right around it. I have different colored rings for my players. They keep track of their color and the number they put it on changes based on their initiative order.

They're also the perfect size for Battle Mats. They fit right in the squares/hexes perfectly.

> Maybe the backings have been improved?

They haven't.

I use something like this for "displaying around the parks": https://www.amazon.com/Quality-Locking-Favorite-Collectibles-Trading/dp/B017K4AFF8/

I got these ring adjusters. The work well for my wedding rings. I’ll get them resized when I’m where I need to be.

I use this

And I just leave the string attached. I cut when I'm ready to tie.

Edit: after I tie actually

Alternatively, I always toss my stud earring backs and just use the clear backs instead. You can push them down or double them up so they cover the stabby parts.

For the clumsy Real Runners^TM out there.

These cheap "jeweler's loupes" on amazon do the trick usually. They claim up to 60x or something, I don't really believe that, but they work. You really don't need much.

I have one like this https://www.amazon.com/Bluedot-Trading-jewelers-loop-60x-Jewelers-Magnification/dp/B00MMP6YJW/ref=zg_bs_8090802011_34/131-9874862-0971406?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=KZZ0NZVTM7TRMRNBQ9E2 (mine has some different brand but they're from the same factory anyway I'm sure) but I've seen various others from just searching "jewelers loupe" on amazon used and they all worked fine.
With how cheap they are it's also no big risk.

I bought these which work super well! Easy to take on and off without using a tool but also pretty darn secure.

The best place would be your local piercing/tattoo parlor. They most likely will have them in stock and may be able to help you swap them if your not quite healed yet. They also could possibly order them for you if they didn't have them.

Or you can order through Amazon- Clear Plastic Ear Piercing Retainers - 6 Pairs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0092TZ14K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_NsPADbYMQAF6B

A craft store may have them as well as they are sometimes sold as a craft item.

Nice idea. It might not be pretty, but you might be able to buy an engraver and do it yourself. This one is 3 millibits: https://www.amazon.com/Electric-Engraving-Engraver-Jewellery-Jewelry/dp/B01M6X5KWV

Doesn't have to be pretty if nobody supposed to be lookin' at it right?

Okay, so I'm actually planning on doing a Crusader myself next year and I can go into some of what I plan on using. Also keep in mind that while I have done armor before, I am by no means an expert on it, I just know what my preferences are and how I plan on tackling some of the hurdles.

So lets tackle the elephant first, The Armor:

"Armored by faith, driven by duty, bound to kill the enemies of the Zakarum."

• For materials I plan on using a combination of things as in my experience one typically isn't enough. Yes worbla is a good jumping off point, but its rather expensive for my tastes and I have heard a lot of horror stories in the past of it reforming itself when being left in peoples cars. So instead, like the addict I am, will be resorting to my normal shenanigans of ABS and Sintra with a dash of craft foam and EVA foam.
  
• Both the plastics you can get at a plastic manufacturer , ABS runs around $80 for a 4'x8' sheet, and Sintra runs about $30 for the same size, you will need a power cutter for the ABS, but a box cutter should be okay for the Sintra. Craft foam is carried at most craft stores for scrapbooking, just ask and they can get you set up and its like $8 for a pack of 12-16 18"x24" sheets, and EVA foam you can get at most hardware stores or Wal-Mart but I'd recommend Harbor Freight as they have both rolls and squares, typically runs $10-$20.
  
• All of the above can be molded with a heat gun, if you get one get at least a 2 heat, and I'd personally recommend this one. Just becareful and wear gloves and make sure you ventilate pretty well. Also, test it, test it, test it! Make sure to get a good feel for how the material will work with your resource.
  
• Bonus note! ABS and Sintra can be heated in the oven. Use a non-stick silver pan when heating them. ABS is roughly 300 degrees for 15 min, will be flexible for about 45 seconds, so you need to act fast. Sintra goes in about 5 min at like 250 degrees (much lower heating threshold). Oven heating is really good for base shapes, base shape around an arm, or a leg or w/e, but not for detailing, use a heatgun on low for that. Also make sure that after you base-shape you smooth it out really nice or you're gonna have some warping on the sides. And since both of these are heat moldable, if you don't have glue you can stick it back in the oven and try again.
  
• Bonus bonus: ABS is solid, like ridiculously solid. I've had people physically hit my armor and hurt themselves on it. I also can withstand competition level Airsoft Rifles and literally not feel a thing.
  
• For small details I'm going to be investing in a 3D printer next year. Dremel has one that is supposed to have super good quality and really easy to use for $1000, so come on tax return.
  
• Chain mail if you have a pair of pliars and a lot of patience you can get chainmail rings on Amazon for about $25-30 depending on the size. This does take a while so I'd recommend starting a good TV show and watching it in the background while you work.
  
• Finally, make sure you pattern your pieces. To do this wrap what you want to pattern in cellophane and cover it loosely in tape, preferably something that you can use a sharpie on, and then draw out the base pattern from there. Make sure to include an extra 5-10%. I cannot stress this enough, you would not believe how many pieces I've had to remake because I didn't make them big enough the first time. Don't waste your money because of this stupid simple mistake.
  
  Okay, onto a bit easier subject, The Cloth and Leather:
  
  "My faith is rewarded."
  
  
• For the fabric you really need to decide if you want to be a little worn or like a majestic unicorn. IF you're going for worn look for a fabric that already appears as such. A good example would be some sort of cotton linen hybrid that you can wear up a bit with a box cutter (look up how to weather pants for this). If you want to be majestic and BA, look for a high sheen cotton sateen. It really all depends on what you can find in the store, also look online too, most places will either just give you a small sample or sell you them for like $1-2.
  
• For your leather I'd say go for a Vinyl for solid pieces and actual leather for the quilted pieces. If you have a Tandy Leather in your area go there. They are super willing to help and if you show them pictures and tell them what you want to do they'll get you all set up. They even offer classes and have open work where an instructor will just sit there and answer questions.
  
  My plan for my eternal Phalanx, and this can be debated, The Shield:
  
  "The crusade marches on!"
  
  
• For the base I'm going to be using pink insulation foam layered upon itself. I'm doing this because it's cheap and light, and trust me, that is important. You need to carry this around all day, no reason to make your arm hate you. Also I do not care if the inside is curved in, in fact, I almost prefer it not to be.
  
• After I carve/sand the outside to base shape I'll add detail where needed with either more insulation foam or craft foam.
  
• Once everything is pretty coat it all in either Gesso (4-5 coats) or Paper Mache to seal the pours. Then cover it in (Plasti Dip](http://www.plastidip.com/) to seal it and give it a nice look, this will also add a bit of stability to it.
  
• By far the Gesso will be the most expensive as it's about $20 for a 32 oz jar and will need about 1 jar per coat.
  
• After all of that paint it, add some straps and your golden. Oh and if you want to save some materials and money dont make an arm guard for your shield arm unless you want to magnetize it as it will more than likely just be getting in the way and you will run the risk of ruining the guard anyways. My plan is to magnetize both forearms so I can use the shield in either arm btw.
  
• Oh and for the shield grip (what you hold in your hand) use a gate pull. They wont move around like cloth, they're not entirely uncomfortable, and they're cheap.
  
  Last but not least, everyone favorite, The Weapon:
  
  "Do not hesitate to strike down your enemies. Death is their salvation from evil."
  
  
• Dowel rods are a great base. I'd also recommend PVC, for longer weapons PVC is ideal as its lighter and thicker pieces won't bend as much as you think, but feel free to test this out.
  
• Use pink insulation foam for the larger pieces like the hammer head and spear tip. Again it makes it lighter, and the lighter it is the more comfortable you'll be.
  
• For things like blades and whatnot, if it's more than a foot long add an internal notch and some way of anchoring it inside of the insulation foam. This will make sure that the foam wont move around on you and you don't have a magic rotating weapon. This will also prevent them from flying of if the glue someone comes undone.
  
• For the details it's back to Sintra and Craft Foam. Like these are amazing and can really add a nice pop to your weapon. Other commonly used items are foam display board.
  
• Finally make sure you cover porous things in Gesoo + Plasti Dip. I've even see people use 4-way stretch spandex because they didn't want to paint. Just make sure your edges are nice and clean.
  
  That's really all I got. Only other thing I could suggest is to take your time and start early. Some of my friends, and even me sometimes, don't start early and will run around the week before/week of freaking out because we're not done, so don't be like us. Be smart. Oh, speaking of being smart, make sure you use PPE. If you don't know if you need it ask about it. You don't want to be working with something like resin without a mask and get breathing issues in 15 years because you didn't protect yourself. And what ever you do, don't forget:
  
  "Kneel before Zakarum!"

You can get some on Amazon very cheap. You also might be able to get some from Michaels if you don’t want to wait.

Buy military-style locking pinbacks from Amazon or your eTailer of choice much gentler on the pin post and no need for tool to remove.

Engraver.

I don't wear rings, but I'm planning to order one of these for hubby before he loses his.

I'm gonna copy a comment I made over on trees... Short answer is a container of steel screens in the top left and a jewelers loupe in the bottom right.

Everything is all labeled out here

I bought my grinder on [amazon for $7] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0023X32MA/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_KRYRub1MSFKSW). It works awesome.

I also got the screens (100) on [amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007BQTC5U/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_tTYRub0BVP71J) for $4.

The empty green travel container is what I put a bit in if I'm heading over to a friends for the night. That and the two clear ones are from my recreational shop (WAent).

I don't use the normal sized lighters much, usually I choose the mini lighters.

I bought both the [zig zag roller] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002Q7WRDI/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_xUYRub0X73KSK) and the [blackberry juicy jay's] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ESM6AMI/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_bXYRub1X7WAV1) at my smoke shop for $5 and $2 respectively.

My friend gave me the big old nug the other day so I just stashed it in here so I didn't mix strains.

The tweezers is for "handling" the nugs to put them in the grinder. I don't want to lose ANY crystals.

Burn gel (lidocane) because I'm clumsy as FUCK when I'm at a [6+].

Eye drops for dry eyes.

Hand sanitizer because I get stamped ash all over my hands from the way I hold my lighter.

Doob toob for obvious reasons. It's from a disposable e-cig from before I quit smoking.

I got the rainbow storage tube from the dollar store. I keep stems and glass screens in it. Sometimes I keep a few grams in it too if I have more than one strain.

Watermelon gum because it is my favorite taste when I'm high. Tic-tacs to take a minty toke. Emergency kit Kat for reasons.

A 30x21mm jeweler's loupe to look [closely] (http://imgur.com/f2knddq) at my [weed] (http://imgur.com/QRjZVc8)...and maybe [doritos] (http://imgur.com/BOS4v4t).

Edit: here is the link for the [jeweler's loupe] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008BXQVO2/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_BxZRub1S2EF44).

I use these. Stuff never comes off and you have lots of spares. Plus they force the item to remain pressed against the shirt. Looks way more professional.

You can get plain containers on Amazon or any craft store. You could get a flat one like this or stackable ones like this . They are usually for crafting or makeup and are fairly inexpensive.

1. The most expensive item I have on my main list is a pound of jump rings.
   
   
2. I want this because I'm getting into chain mail jewelry. My boyfriend requested that once I get pretty good at it, he wants me to make him chain mail armor that he can wear while he plays DnD with his family lol So, I'm pretty sure that between me learning how to manipulate the jump rings and making his chain mail armor, I'm gonna need a crap ton of jump rings lol
   
   
3. I would be completely fine with it c: I've already made plans to buy them in smaller quantities over time. It would just be more convenient to have a crap ton at once xD
   
   Edit: "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

Try keyword "number charm". These might work for you?

Thanks for the suggestion! I looked and ended up getting these! I hope they work out =]

Also notice, that all words in a BIP39 mnemonic are uniquely identifiable by their first 4 characters. So for a 12 word seed you only have to stamp 12 * 4 = 48 characters (not counting spaces).

Amazon. It came in a variety pack of 10 and I wear this one daily. :)

ETA: I've worn it all summer in the ocean, at the pool, and at the gym. It still looks brand new.

Tell me if those links don’t work. I’ve never tried that before 😜

Depending on the items you’re talking about, engraving is probably your best option if you’re passably handy with tools. Best with metal or wood, but the right plastics would be doable with care.

$15-25 will buy you an electric engraving tool. This one is under $15 and includes letter stencils.

This.

Nothin fancy but it worked well enough.

already have uv light, is this a good enough loupe?

I use something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Adjustable-Jewelry-Organizer-Storage-Container/dp/B00D2OCF54/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1466564545&sr=8-5&keywords=plastic+organizer

It's not the prettiest thing, but it sits in a drawer until I need something out of it. And it keeps everything from getting tangled.

This contest is so fun. I love this style of clothing so it was fun to create a whole outfit.

This one seems good but I'm not sure if the blacklight is strong/large enough. I want to illuminate a whole card. Also it seems bulky / awkward to use.

also I am not sure if 60x zoom is too much or not

I wanted to ask for advice in a store in person

You need to watch the crystals turn amber.

Buy one of these jewelry loups, https://www.amazon.com/LuckyStone-Microscope-Jewelers-Magnifier-Magnifying/dp/B00DH5N2LO/ref=zg_bs_8090802011_6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=DAJBJKDMZ139D30S83Y0

OP linked it in thread if you didn't see:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M2UMJ4J/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ABC4ybH33FFPC

only .98!

Beer me!

These tweezers are pretty sweet. They'd come in handy when putting jewels on my nails!

I use elastic cord for the base

[Bingcute 1.0MM White Beading Elastic Cord, 100 Yard (White) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LX50N4Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_PX2XCb58B53JZ]

& fishing wire for the ‘3D part’ around the base (if that makes sense)

I use them very sparingly but you have to be very careful. Too slack and they don’t hold anything well, too tight and they can cut into the components and damage them, especially cards.

They also become brittle quickly and will break after using them a couple of times. I’m sure this can be mitigated with more premium ones (magicians rubber bands come to mind) but this will cost more than 99c

I find it much better, to use the right size bag for decks of cards and store components in those clear plastic jewellery/tackle boxes which come in an array of different sizes and massively cut down setup time. (Opening 20 bags before a game isn’t fun).

If I have thick cardboard terrain tiles for example, I might use bands to hold them. Particularly if the game box gets jostled about a lot when transporting. Otherwise the mix of bags for cards and tackle box for chits does fine. I think I’m still using bands to hold together Caverna tiles but after two uses, they’ve started to break.

Don't buy the ones with the wrench. I bought spring loaded fastener ones, kind of like these. You don't have to worry about a tiny tool and I've never had an issue with them.

Its more so that they dont come off easily, rather than being tight. To release them, you have to push the base down and lift the top of the back up. They still can break but it is a much more secure way to have pins on your hat.
EDIT:
Totally didn't look at the link, never tried those before. I thought they were the locking style as seen here:

This looks like the one I've been using. I already had several because of electronics work.

I also bought this pocket microscope because other people recommended it but have found it really hard to use without cutting buds off the plant first, so I just use the loupe.

It can take a few weeks to fully heal but there are clear plugs that you can insert into the hole while you are not wearing them. Most have a center hole so you can wear the plugs with the piercing for easy removal until healed

Don't buy this (I would never put something like that in my ears). http://www.amazon.com/Clear-Plastic-Ear-Piercing-Retainers/dp/B0092TZ14K But the concept is good for earrings.

> I’ve been meaning to try the gold band to see if it’ll fit again. Guess I’ll find it tonight.

I stopped wearing my engagement ring and wedding band for the same reason. I found my band and it fit! Aaaaand now it's loose. Lost the e-ring though, whoops...

If your wedding band is loose, you can use something like this to get you by for a while. After that it's best to get it re-sized, fortunately that isn't too expensive (ballpark $50), most rings* can be brought down 1 - 2 sizes. After that it's time for a new ring, lol. If you work with your hands a lot, you might want to look at getting another silicone band, though, because they're flexible and therefore very comfortable, and can be safer than traditional metal rings. (*Titanium, tungsten, etc can't be resized.)

Just use standard elastic and any kind of beads you want!

You can buy your own engraver. Or dremel tool with engraver bit. But best (and cheapest) is the letter punch set, like this https://www.amazon.com/Vector-Number-Capital-Letter-Punch/dp/B01A1CTYG2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1504064933&sr=8-3&keywords=letter+punch+set

Will take about half an hour to do 24 words. I've tried it on stainless steel plate (slightly more difficult) and on aluminium plate (much easier, because allu is softer). But alluminium has much lower melting point. Decisions, decisions :)))

I would never be able to wear all those pins because I'd just keep worrying about losing them :v

FYI you should switch to the rubber backings instead of the butterfly clasps if you haven't, they're way superior for pins.

I just use coins with numbers on them. You can get a pack up to like #31 for a few bucks off amazon, and they fit in the grid. Then I will have figurines for the heroes. The bad guys change all the time.

They don't take a lot of space, if you really wanted to get crazy you could get like a seperated pill box and split them into groups of 5 so it's a quick grab with the right numbers. But I just do it loose and write down whatever numbers I draw. They have a hole at the top that I use as the "front" of the monster. They work pretty good.

I thought I'd share my experience for the community, and hopefully my experiences help or encourage others to give this a shot on their own. I had absolutely no experience growing anything when I started, so if I can do it, so can anyone else!

I've got an equipment list of the stuff I'm using since it took me a long time to figure out what to buy. This doesn't include the $1.50/week for RO water from the local grocery store, the electricity, or the other stuff I ended up buying afterward for my clones.

No grow tent or ventiliation is needed for my scenario since I have full access to a basement. It's perfect since there is a water heater and a boiler in the same room so the temp is always pretty constant, there is plenty of CO2 from the gas that the appliances burn, and the humidity is also pretty constant.

A few of the mistakes I made that I'd fix next time:

• Buying a heating mat for germination/clones. I only got 1 out of 5 seeds to germinate, and thankfully that one turned into a good plant. I think heat was where I went wrong since I also tried to do clones without a mat and none of them rooted. When using the mat I bought, I had much, much better success.
  
  
• After transplanting my germinated seed, I let that plant go too long in a small container and it got a little root bound. Should have transplanted sooner.
  
  
• I was in the veg stage longer than I think I needed to. Went on vacation in the middle and that screwed up my schedule a little bit, but I think I'd be better off with less veg time for the next plant
  
  
• Buy a better pH pen. I cheaped out on that and I've never gotten it calibrated correctly, so I've been using the dropper/eye test method with the General Hydro test kit that comes with the pH Up/Down. That method seems to work just fine, but it's kind of a hassle.
  
  The images have some details about my grow, but I'll be happy to answer any other questions folks might have.
