  • How to Start Knife Making as a Hobby (Beginner's Guide)

    Knife making isn't just about steel – it’s about passion, patience, and precision. If you’ve ever thought of forging your own blade, here’s how to get started:

    Start with stock removal.
    Forget the forge (for now). Begin with a simple high-carbon steel flat bar (like 80CrV2) and shape your knife with files and an angle grinder.

    Choose the right handle material.
    Stabilized wood, micarta, or even antler can give your knife both style and grip.

    Heat treating is crucial.
    Even without a full forge, a simple propane torch and oil quench can give you a decently hardened blade. Temper in the oven at 200°C for 2 hours.

    Finish with finesse.
    Sand and polish your blade, then seal your handle. You’ll be amazed how rewarding it feels to hold your own creation.

    Tip: Document your builds on net-twin.de and connect with fellow makers to grow your skills!

  • Knife Making / DIY Crafts

    If you're starting your journey into knife making, one of the most important decisions you'll make is choosing the right steel. It can feel overwhelming at first — but don't worry, we’ve got your back.

    80CrV2 is a fantastic choice for beginners. It’s a tough, high-carbon tool steel that’s forgiving during heat treatment, takes a sharp edge, and holds it well. Many professional bladesmiths swear by it for its reliability and balance between hardness and flexibility.

    Why it's great for first-timers:

    Easy to work with (grinds and shapes well)

    Readily available and affordable

    Strong edge retention and toughness

    Tip: Keep your first blade design simple — a small drop-point or utility shape is perfect to learn the basics.

  • Quick Tutorial: How to Create Your Own DIY Stamps for Crafting

    Looking for a simple but satisfying project to boost your creativity? Making your own custom stamps is not only fun — it adds a personal touch to your journals, packaging, greeting cards, and art projects!



    Here’s a quick guide to get you started:

    What You’ll Need:

    Soft carving block or eraser

    Pencil & paper

    Linoleum carving tool or X-Acto knife

    Ink pad

    Optional: wood block for mounting



    Step-by-Step Guide:

    Sketch Your Design
    Start by drawing your idea on paper. Keep it simple — bold lines and clear shapes work best.

    Transfer the Design
    Rub the back of your drawing with pencil, place it face-down on the carving block, and trace over it to transfer.

    Carve It Out
    Carefully carve around your lines. Remove the negative space — everything you don't want to be inked.

    Test It!
    Press the stamp into an ink pad and stamp it on scrap paper. Make adjustments if needed.

    Optional: Mount It
    Glue your finished stamp onto a wooden block for better handling.



    Creative Ideas:

    Make a custom signature stamp

    Create botanical or nature patterns

    Design your own emojis or symbols

    Use them to personalize gift wrap or fabric

  • How to Write Better AI Image Prompts – A Quick Guide for Beginners

    Want to create stunning AI-generated images, but not sure how to describe what you have in mind? Here’s a simple guide to help you craft better prompts – and get results that actually match your vision.

    1. Be Specific, Not Vague
    Bad prompt: "A dragon"
    Better prompt: "A fierce red dragon flying over a burning medieval village at night, detailed scales, cinematic lighting"

    Use adjectives (color, mood, style), verbs (what’s happening?), and context (where/when?).

    2. Use Simple, Natural Language
    You don’t need fancy terms. Just write like you’re explaining the image to a friend.
    Example: "A cozy cabin in a snowy forest, smoke rising from the chimney, warm light glowing through the windows"

    3. Add Art Style or Medium
    Want a painting? A photo? A sketch? Say it!
    Examples:

    "In the style of a vintage oil painting"

    "Black and white pencil sketch of a wolf"

    "Photo-realistic portrait with soft lighting"

    4. Include Composition Tips
    Want a close-up? A wide shot? Add that!
    Examples:

    "Top-down view of a Japanese garden"

    "Portrait, centered, soft depth of field"

    5. Use Negative Prompts (if possible)
    Some AI tools let you tell it what to avoid.
    Example:

    "A knight in armor, realistic –– no text, no watermark, no blurriness"

    Pro Tip: Try tools like Lexica, PromptHero, or Krea.ai to explore other people’s prompts and see how they shape the final image.

    Summary – Prompt Formula:
    [Subject] + [Action or Situation] + [Style/Medium] + [Lighting/Composition] + [Optional: What to avoid]

    Example:
    "A lonely lighthouse on a rocky shore during a storm, waves crashing, dramatic lighting, cinematic photo style"

  • Director Alex Garland (Ex Machina) will direct the upcoming #EldenRing film. George R. R. Martin will produce the film.

    A live-action adaptation of Elden Ring, the acclaimed action RPG developed by FromSoftware, is officially in development. The film will be written and directed by Alex Garland, known for Ex Machina, Annihilation, and Civil War. Production is a collaboration between A24, Bandai Namco, and DNA Films, with Peter Rice, Andrew Macdonald, Allon Reich, George R. R. Martin, and Vince Gerardis serving as producers.

    George R. R. Martin, who co-authored the game's lore, will also serve as a co-producer, ensuring continuity between the game's narrative and its cinematic adaptation.


    Alex Garland's involvement has generated excitement among fans, particularly due to his evident passion for the game. In a recent Reddit AMA, Garland revealed that he's currently on his seventh playthrough (NG+6) of the game's DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, expressing his deep enjoyment and obsession with the game. This level of dedication has reassured many fans that Garland is a true enthusiast of the FromSoftware universe, raising hopes for a faithful adaptation.


    While specific plot details and casting have yet to be announced, the film is expected to explore the expansive narrative of the game, which follows a Tarnished protagonist seeking to restore the Elden Ring in the mysterious Lands Between.

    The Elden Ring film adaptation is still in the early stages of development, and further details are anticipated in the coming months.

    I`ll keep you up to date about the movie project.

    Kind regards, Andy
