My buddy Jake just finished a dresser where he beat the edges with a bike chain, then did this thing with two paint colors. The top coat gets sanded off in random spots so the undercoat peeks through. Looked pretty good, not like those factory pieces where the wear is too perfect, you know?

Wait, that's interesting. Honestly I always heard the opposite about low heat being safer. So when you do the short hot method, are you using a heat gun on high or like a small torch? Tbh I'd be scared to burn the paint right off. How do you keep from messing up the finish around the dent? Ngl, I wonder if this only works on thicker metal.

Hey, can digital chats ever feel that real too?

Is it just cheap materials or is everything getting flimsier on purpose? I've noticed the same thing with some camping gear lately, where it feels like you're paying for the brand name more than the actual product. It really does seem like a race to make things as thin and cheap as possible.
