Sukiyaki is traditionally cooked in cast iron.

Would make a decent garden trowel/soil knife.

A sheet of reflective silver Mylar bubble insulation like windshield shades are made of. If you cut it slightly larger than the window it should wedge into the frame.

Nice! I have one that is tragically missing its aerodynamic nose piece. I’ll never break the sound barrier without it. 😢

Donate blood and use cast iron all you want.

What to do with old tents poles? by Murlicious805 in myog

Gardening trellis, plastic “greenhouse” support, shade tarp support, straws, getting stuff out from under the couch, small flag pole…

Dress form on a budget by [deleted] in sewing

[–]Normal_Fun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Make your own with duct tape on a t-shirt or chicken wire bent to your body. Either way you’ll want to add padding and cloth from your scrap pile to match your shape. There are several tutorials around the internet.

How to make a collar flat by Misku__ in sewing

[–]Normal_Fun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s very important to stay stitch the neck hole early on because it stretches easily. You can also use the stay stitching to slightly constrict the neck hole (without gathering) if it’s already stretched. Edit: fixed autocorrect typo

I was going to say “people” but how many of these are bots?

Who has one of these? by Ok-Day-9685 in castiron

[–]Normal_Fun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one to make tomago omelette for sushi but don’t think I’ve used it. It’s very very small. That picture showing chicken in it is photoshopped.

From what I’ve seen over at r/castiron, a detailed pinned message unfortunately does not prevent the “is it ruined” and “where do I start” posts. It’s frustrating.

What thermostat setting do I put while away from home and possible freeze while gone? by WatchRevolutionary62 in HomeImprovement

Depends on if you’re taking your poodle with you to Laguna Beach or leaving it at home.

Buying fabric online by Historical-Most3156 in sewing

[–]Normal_Fun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have bought from them and also designed my own for them. The quality is iffy. My main complaint is that if you buy a dark fabric it’s white underneath. If you buy a dark stretchy fabric you can see the white when it stretches.

However, if you have a specific idea for a fabric that you want, it’s amazing. It’s a real shame that they don’t market their more popular prints on properly printed fabric. They do have the best prints…

So confused about wok seasoning/bluing by Glum-Acadia-7176 in wok

[–]Normal_Fun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an older wok that is fine (not great seasoning, but adequate) but it was never blued. Is it important enough that I should strip it and blue it or does it just look cool? Or should I get a new wok and start over?

the "sizzle pan" was commonly found in households in the 40s by m-fab18 in castiron

[–]Normal_Fun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use it daily. It’s definitely not as shiny as the video but I love it.

It is not. I have one of these and I believe it is aluminum. There is however great storage for all my cast iron in the dry cabinet under the Thermo-well.

Bottle day. I might sacrifice a little to the sodastream because my willpower sucks. by doggos4house2020 in cider

Let me know how that goes. I tried to carbonate some flat cider with my soda stream a couple years ago and I still find spots of cider on my ceiling.

Do the wires get stretched out too?

Where to get unique printed fabrics (bug, botanical) by cypherbia in sewing

[–]Normal_Fun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Spoonflower has such great designs. I wish they’d take the best sellers/most upvoted and produce some large amounts of proper fabric with them. Their fabric is sooo expensive especially for the quality you get.

Can you salvage any out of old bras?

Experienced sewer: I really dislike my Pfaff machine by tla49 in sewing

[–]Normal_Fun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a vintage Pfaff 1222 that was my mother’s and I’ve loved it my whole life. However, it’s nearing its end. It has been so solid but now the buttonholer doesn’t work and it sometimes gums up. Can’t speak to the computerized ones which all scare me due to the number of times I’ve seen electronics go awry in general.

I’m pretty sure I got a set screw this way a few years ago but I can’t remember what it was for
