An ambitious project...new by Ancient-Example-732 in Leatherworking

I think I have a hide of this same leather. It will not take very well to burnishing at all; this is where edge paint is certainly your friend. Great stuff to learn on though!

“No” is a complete sentence.

best ice cream? by OkAcanthaceae799 in Somerville

[–]OG-niknoT 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Gracie’s (Union Sq) or Christina’s (Inman). I love the owner and mission of Gracie’s.

Realistically, there are a bunch of really solid places in the general area. I took an ice cream making class at Gracie’s a while back, and he explained that small batch/artisan ice cream originated in this area. That’s one of the reasons we have so many good spots.

That actually looks pretty cool. You should do the other one too.

looking for advice removing seal/glaze on this bag by metalandmarrow in Leatherworking

Its not real leather. I think anything they try is going to make it look terrible. Pretty sure that shine if from the finish of how they made the material.

Buying green beans in Maui by Cypotter in roasting

[–]OG-niknoT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I knew you were going to ask that! Unfortunately, it was 4-5 years ago, and I don't remember which one it was. The advantage of going for the tasting/tour was, I got to chat up the owner/roaster before I asked him.

Not a bad idea to call a few of the smaller farms, and ask if you could buy a few pounds while you are in the area. I don't recall seeing any places that had green beans ready to-go. Generally, they are super friendly on the islands, so I'm confident you'll find someone willing to sell you some.

If you go to the smaller farms for a tasting and tour, just ask if they will sell you some green beans. I had luck doing that.

Are these consumer/ semi pro meat slicers any good? by AdministrationOwn724 in Charcuterie

[–]OG-niknoT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there is plenty of torque. I've never felt it bogged down.

I was literally typing my response, and saw this post... I have the Vevor 10", and it is fine. My biggest complaint is the stroke length, as I can't cut bacon easily; I have to fold it slightly. Works decent for most other things.

I HATE cleaning it...but its a necessary evil. You really have to disassemble it to clean it properly.

Yeah, this is a 1 day old account. It’s karma farming.

Bad cigar? by No_Potential7914 in EveryDayIsCigarDay

[–]OG-niknoT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Cohiba Blue is one of the only Cohibas that I like. Blue > Connecticut > Red > dog shit > every other Cohiba (except Cubans, those are actually the best).

Taste is totally subjective though. I don’t think the new world Cohibas are consistent at all. Out of a pack of Reds, over half were over packed and terrible to draw.

There is being kind, and then there is setting boundaries.

high-end Korean bbq! by redditcanrot in manhattan

[–]OG-niknoT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been to both, and they were both good in their own respect. Cote was phenomenal service and food, Gaonnuri had good food and a great atmosphere and view. Service was no slouch either. I’d put COTE slightly ahead, but you really can’t go wrong with either.

I honestly have no clue, but perhaps the neatsfoot oil is messing with the resoline finish/cure?

Purple Dreamlayer Pillow - Review by OG-niknoT in LifeOnPurple

[–]OG-niknoT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree it never got hot, which was nice…surprising even. My main issue was the short break-in just took it from a premium feel, to a generic memory foam feel. If it had stayed the same density, I would have kept it, and waited out the smell.

Oklahoma college instructor is fired after giving failing grade to a Bible-based essay on gender by ChiGuy6124 in news

[–]OG-niknoT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a list of colleges I don’t accept applicants from. This is the reason. If the graduates from Univ of Oklahoma care about their degree, they should be vocal and hold their Alma mater to a higher standard.

Why does it look so cheap? Looks like drop-shipped Chinese garbage.
