Then for bud, you would wash the herb a couple of times quickly in fresh alcohol.  \r\n\r\nThen you get a small cheap crockpot from Target for like $12 and use that to evap off the alcohol. \r\n\r\nYou still need to decarb the herb, so you can do that in two ways.   Get a temperature gun from Amazon -- they are super useful.  [This one](http://www.amazon.com/Nubee-Temperature-Non-contact-Infrared-Thermometer/dp/B00CVHIJDK/) is less than $20 and should work fine.  \r\n\r\nThen you want to decarb the THC.   Do this either before you wash the herb in alcohol or you can decarb the tincture after you have made it.  You turn the crock pot on high and that will put it around 230 degrees f, and you decarb it for an hour or two.  If you decarb the tincture after you have made it, then all the alcohol will evaporate and you will want to pour fresh alcohol into the crock pot. \r\n\r\nMake sure to use the crock pot in a drafty place if you are evaporating off any alcohol -- you don't want a fire or explosion to happen, so you need fresh air.  \r\n\r\nTHC dissolves very easily in alcohol, so making a tincture this way is easy and pretty fast, except for decarbing.

Mine overshoots a lot, so I got a thermometer gun for $10 and I put the oven on bake with no convection and i wait that the temperature stabilizes a little and I keep an eye on the colour knife with a flashlight. I set my temperature at 175 on my toaster oven to give you an idea. I do 3 times 20 minutes and cool down to room temperature for my 1095 steel which should be about the steel that you are using. Tempering depends a lot on the thickness of the metal you're using.\r\n\r\nJust a thing to keep in mind. Short blades are less likely to snap off than longer ones and therefore, they need less tempering. For my short blades I aim a temperature of 350-380 degrees (When the metal starts to turn straw yellow at the edges, i turn the toaster down a bit to not over shoot).\r\n\r\nHere is just to give you an idea what I use to track the oven and knife temperature. http://www.amazon.com/Nubee-Temperature-Non-contact-Infrared-Thermometer/dp/B00CVHIJDK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1421003684\u0026amp;sr=8-1\u0026amp;keywords=thermometer+gun\r\n\r\nI like the shape of the blade of your friction folder. I tried to make a folding knife, but I abandoned :P. \r\n\r\nIf it can help, I agree with you the thumb lever should be moved outwards and the edge shouldn't go past the pivot point. Try putting your knife on a sheet of paper, put a nail where the pivot hole is then draw the shape of your handle and interior cuts with dotted lines.\r\n\r\nHappy Crafting!","subreddit_name":"Bladesmith","author":"nomerkiah"},{"body":"Theres a guide on the sidebar to the right that should cover most of the basic care requirements.  It will take him some time to get used to his new environment, so its ok if he seems extra skittish for a while and uninterested in food, just keep handling to a minimum for now.  They can be very timid when they are still young too.  They use their tail as a fat reserve and can go a while not eating.  Generally a nice plump tail is a sign of good health and they will spend most of the day sleeping anyway.\r\n\r\nTiles are great flooring, safe and easy to clean. You dont need a thermometer stuck to the side of the tank as the floor temperature is more important than the air temperature.  The floor temp needs to be around 90* F on one side and about 75-80 on the cooler side  so they can regulate their body temp if the get too warm.  Above 95 is too much.  They need the 90* to be able to digest their food so it is important.  Grab a cheap infared one like [this](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CVHIJDK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1)  to check your temps with.  They are super cheap, more accurate than the pet store ones, and you can spot check temps around your tank instantly.  It will make your life much easier.\r\n\r\nA 10 gallon tank is ok for now, but a 20 gallon long will suit him much better as they can be pretty active at night and will appreciate the extra floor space to explore.  It also helps in achieving a heat gradient which is hard to do with something as small as a 10 gallon.\r\n\r\nTypically the best way to heat the tank is a heating pad under the tank controlled by a [thermostat](https://www.amazon.com/MTPRTC-ETL-Certified-Thermostat-Germination-Reptiles/dp/B000NZZG3S) to keep it at a steady temp.  The heat mat should cover about 1/3 the floor of the tank.  This setup is usually simpler and cheaper than lights that the stores will try to sell, more reliable temperatures too.  Heating lamps arent  really necessary because they are not basking animals and prefer to hide all day then come out on the warm rocks at night, but they are ok to help give hem a day/night cycle if the room is dark and you can use a regular light bulb if its cold where you live to raise the temps just a little.\r\n\r\nWhat  are you feeding them?

It's difficult to tell, but I think your tank might be too hot. You might try raising the basking bulb or using a lower wattage bulb and see if she improves. \r\n\r\nHow often are you bathing her or giving her water orally?\r\n\r\nI get into decorating my tanks, but I am pretty boring with my backgrounds. I just get a desert scene aquarium background and tape it to corrugated cardboard (which helps insulate the tank, and presumably leads to *slightly* lower electricity bills for me).
