Karl makes stuff

I have been making some windows for my build, but no stream tonight as I'm running a game at CRIT this evening. There are still tables with open seats through the week, so if you fancy a pick-up game or wonder what this Tabletop Roleplaying stuff is all about, have a look at tabletop.events/conventions/crit-2026 - it's all online and free!

I'm running the "Instructions Not included" tabletop crafting challenge over in my discord. The idea is: grab a kit, template, or such, ignore the instructions and build your own thing. We'll be showcasing the things we make on stream on the 26th of July. Want in? Join us on Discord at discord.gg/QVBNBNMGBE

In yesterday's stream we talked about gunswords, because of course we did. Here's one from the Palace Armoury in Valletta - click for the full picture, or check out the video with it and other exhibits at https://youtu.be/S0kWsHkdpww

These T-shaped hinge pins (which I just learnt are called pintles) caught my attention. In " Il Castello di Milano sotto il dominio degli Sforza, 1450-1535", the author points them out specifically:

"A proposito dei quali cardini noteremo che quelli mediani sono doppii, cioè a foggia di T, in modo da rendere impossibile lo smuovere dai cardini le imposte mediante una leva." (Beltrami, 1885, p. 280)

"Regarding the pintles we will note that the middle ones are double, that is in the shape of a T, to make it impossible to remove the screens (gates?) from the pintles by means of a lever."

Way to much information for tabletop crafting purposes, but quite interesting. Figure some parts of that hinge would have to be installed on the gate after it was hung into place, as I can't imagine how it would be set up otherwise.

Got 2 minutes to help ‪@BobWorldBuilder‬ out? He's running a survey on what everyone's favourite role playing game system is. Super quick poll here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdEkeKPSKPWSKrFNt…

Here's where the doors are at! Now to sculpt some handles and detail. The double door with the diagonal strips warped a little, but it might be salvageable.

One of the things that slows me down starting new projects is the thought of having to make components like doors and windows; it's a fairly repetitive process that feels like a chore sometimes. At some point I'll try to make a nice set and a mould so I can cast them, but for now a small batch made in bulk should see me through my next couple of builds.
