Progress update on my weaving. Stuff is moving along well, I cant work to long on it since its the workweek now but I got a few hours in(none yesterday I passed out after work lol). It'll probably take all week to finish at this rate. I get a lot more done when I can spend many hours working on it during the weekend.

pictures in the spoiler as usual

Here you can see the back of the threads has moved up quite a bit since I started and Ive moved the chairs together as well. Im probably over halfway through the length but its hard to tell. Of course this wont translate into an equal length of finished work but its pretty long so far.

Show

Heres the full belt so far. I cant actually measure the length, since its in tension and attached to the loom, but each block of the pattern is about 10-9 inches long and I have 4 blocks done, so its roughly 40 inches long (~1 meter). I was shooting for about 2 meters so Ill probably be a bit short but we'll see. Its hard to measure the length right now.

Heres what the back looks like. The pattern is reversed but the way tablet weaving works with 4 threads being spun in specific directions the backside doesnt look like the front but flipped. Some patterns can visually reverse but most dont.

Idk if Ill work on my weaving tonight. Probably just gonna pass out when I get home

very sleepy all day at work, it sucks. Up way too late watching garbage on the hextube.

I wont be stopping though, I love my hextube nerds and the awful amazing movies we watch

I think having sex with bears isnt actually a thing that can happen without you getting ripped in half by a thousand pound killing machine with 4 inch long claws

Thanks! Im quite pleased with how it turned out irl. The program I use to simulate patterns cant perfectly replicate what it will look like on the loom so Im glad its working out.

Thank you!

I mean some guys do get the short end of the stick with micro penises, and that certainly sucks. If they want to try enhancements more power to them, I get that. But anything above 4 inches and you're good, don't spend all your time being anxious about something that isnt a big deal.

Got the first branch of my pattern done! This block will repeat until I run out of thread. Its quite a bit more complex than the last one I worked on, but also Im having less trouble losing my place and messing up. I think that because each step is so different its easier to keep track of where I am.

I think I'll post the full thing in c/art once I'm done.

When the chapo guys were reading the article about the guy with the botched enlargement implant and they got to the part about his pre-enhanced size being 6.5 inches I was floored. Guys are crazy about their dicks, its nuts.

Boys, you have a good penis. Dont worry about it being too small, its not, you're fine.

Clearly we need to tut tut about people having hypothetical sex with an animal that could easily kill you for looking at it the wrong way. Because if we dont clearly there will be an epidemic of bear bestiality and we simply cant have that.

Alright I finally finished my set up, now onto actually weaving. Heres some pics of my loom:

spoilered to keep the post small lol

So heres the threads going through the cards. Ill turn the cards in specific ways to get the pattern I want. The "loom" itself is a couple of tall chairs and upside-down folding tables, its very cobbled together. And yes, my room is quite messy

Show

This is the backside where you can see the threads are weighted down to keep them in tension. The stuff I use to weigh them down is all random junk that is easy to tie stuff to, locks and wrenches and crap. Again, very cobbled together. You can buy actual weights for this but this is fine. I do have a weighted blanket and a bunch of books weighing down the chairs themselves to keep them from tipping over since, while they arent very heavy individually, together all the threads are pulling them down quite a lot. The front chair tips backwards very easily

Show

And here you can see the threads up close.

Show

It is. Tablet weaving is a hell of a lot of work but its a lot of fun.

got my loom set up, now im threading the cards. Prep is almost done and I can start actually weaving. Ill post pics of my setup when its complete

Regardless, mega based, congrats

wtyp you were at a gay bar, why would you be worried he wasnt gay?
