When I'm struggling with a problem it helps me to explain it to my dog. It's great for me to hear it out loud and if he's paying attention, I've got a needlessly learned dog!
Thank you.
It feels like a happy accident after what felt like a comedy of errors. 🤣
My first attempt at some beef short ribs. They came out better than I could have hoped and I was pleasantly surprised that I managed to keep my temps sane for 9 hours.
They knew, they just thought that the frog had been boiling a little longer than it had.
Walnut isn't so pale and doesn't have knots like that.
The knots and colouring suggest pine, I'd say.
The Americans certainly took their fucking time to get involved though.
Then I said "I don't know, what's the favicon with you?"
What a nice workshop you've made; it has such character. I especially like the salmon push stick!
He steams a mean ham.
I've got no lathing tips for you because I've only used a lathe once and I'm more of a carver but you've done a great job there for a first attempt! For the finish I'd recommend smoothing it out with some 240 grit sandpaper, cleaning it off with white spirits or similar then giving it a couple of coats of Danish or boiled linseed oil. The grain will look absolutely beautiful.
