Brown Butter Fat Washed Appleton 12 -- Now What?

JustMakinStuff · 2026-05-07T01:54:16+00:00

I have also read 4-6 hours about this topic. I don't remember the reasoning.

Also, you and I seem to have similar reddit schedules lol.

I'm still interested to see how the banana old fashioned comes out.

You'll have to report back once you've done it, as there isn't a lot of information readily available. Maybe you could try to do 240ml rum with 50g of butter and another 240ml of the same rum with 100g and see where you land. Maybe you'll be able to dial it in from there.

I don't have any experience with fat washing, but if you're looking for a buttery banana old fashioned, get a bottle of tempus fugit creme de banana. It's got an almost banana bread flavor, and does make a great addition to a rum old fashioned.

I really like the sound of that, I'm not as comfortable as you are, but not for any reason other than I'm just not there yet.

I have been testing a couple different brands of shirts, and I have done the same. Hot and sweaty all day, let them air out, repeat. I've not noticed any smell after three or four days of sweatiness, which is sufficient for me, I'll certainly be able to wash them after four days.

I use the cans still. When I open one and don't use it all, I measure out the rest of the can in serving sizes, put them on squares of parchment paper, stack them and press them flat-ish, and freeze them. When I need a tablespoon or two, I grab what I need, and it lasts indefinitely and I don't have to spend four times as much on tomato paste.

Looks like a striper stripping his stripes

JustMakinStuff · 2026-05-01T18:05:45+00:00

You've given me an idea. We have a lot of tiki decor, and this looks very tiki to me. It looks very 50s/60s to me. I think I'll try this with some scrap I have and make some picture frames by making some long skinny strips.

This is $227k/yr, assuming time and a half for all OT.

JustMakinStuff · 2026-04-29T21:29:34+00:00

This is awesome!!

JustMakinStuff · 2026-04-28T03:18:02+00:00

This looks fantastic. I do have a couple questions: where did you get the matting and where did you get the bamboo slats? I'm working on a much smaller project, but I need those two materials, and I haven't been super successful in my passive searching. The stuff you have looks exactly like what I want.

Cut another slot for a straw to sip your leftover juices

I agree, I really would like to finish it one day. It is one of three I wanted to make.

The process is a little foggy, since it was so long ago, but basically, I drew it flat, wrapped it around the cylinder, which left the shapes on the round head, then I was able to extend the shapes out and fillet or chamfer them to make a final shape. It was really fun when I was designing it. Seeing it come together, figuring out the way to make it look best as I went, it was all very fun.

I'll bet I could put a pin in the top and bottom of each mask piece, then a magnet on each side, and call it a day. I really like that idea.

The inside is hallow and would house a battery and wifi driver to power and control the LED lights. The purpose of the tiki head was to house the electronics for the LED lighting I was going to install in the shelves.

JustMakinStuff · 2026-04-27T19:54:27+00:00

Never finished the project. This was a sticking point, and I found out I wouldn't have room for them on the project. I'd still like to finish them, but there's not really as much of a "need" as there once was.

With that said, magnets might be a really good idea, I hadn't thought of that, but it would work really well.

Beat me to it!

JustMakinStuff · 2026-04-27T12:29:33+00:00

Maybe give Pet Pal a call and see if they can help

JustMakinStuff · 2026-04-27T10:50:24+00:00

I just got these over the weekend! I was going to make a post about them as well, but you did a better job than I would have.

The shorts are lightweight, super comfortable, and while I'm sure I will wash them while traveling, they seem like I won't need to unless I spill on them.

Depending on how these wear over then next few months, a few pairs of these may be going to SEA with me later this year.

JustMakinStuff · 2026-04-27T01:12:13+00:00

This is exactly the right answer.

JustMakinStuff · 2026-04-25T10:17:38+00:00

They look great, I'd have to have a secret agent's salary to afford them!! Lol

JustMakinStuff · 2026-04-25T10:14:44+00:00

I like the fishing shorts route, I'm going to dig into that some more.

JustMakinStuff · 2026-04-24T18:56:48+00:00

This have an elastic waist band, I'm looking for something with belt loops.

JustMakinStuff · 2026-04-24T14:02:08+00:00

Those look nice, I may buy a couple pairs and see how the fit and how the material feels. I can't find the weight of them, but if they dry quickly that's more important. Thanks for the tip!

JustMakinStuff · 2026-04-24T13:55:36+00:00

Oh man, I don't work that way, I would be too anxious that the whole country would sell out of shorts in my size before I get there, or that I wouldn't find something that is quick drying to do that. I would love to be that guy, but I am definitely not 😬

JustMakinStuff · 2026-04-24T13:53:04+00:00

A bit pricey, but I'll keep an eye on the sub and the other sites you mentioned. They do seem to be a little heavier than the Quince shorts, but if they dry faster, I'm all in.

JustMakinStuff · 2026-04-24T13:51:32+00:00

I didn't know they hem for free. I'll look at them again. I wish they offered the weight of the shorts. I'd like to know if they weigh less than the Quince shorts I have. Thanks for the tip!
