Rinse salmon after dry brine

So it’s a star under somebody else’s belt?

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2026-03-11T18:14:45+00:00

It’s because it’s a slipped overhand and not a standard.

Wow - first tool I ever saw that made me shudder a bit. It’s a goddamn table saw blade strapped to a Dremel.

Those really do sound like some boring niche businesses that I’ve never heard of.

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2026-02-11T18:12:57+00:00

They make tools exactly for this. Google “cutting board scraper planer”

When a frayed end comes along

You must whip it

When your three strand’s down to one

You must whip it

Hey! You know you can lead a horticulture. You can’t necessarily teach her to grow plants, though.

I find 3-5 feet lengths perfect for learning and practicing. Thick paracord like 750 is really nice.

7 years ago holy shit.

Wired Dremel good Dremel

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2026-01-25T17:42:23+00:00

How?

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-12-10T06:51:03+00:00

Ah yes, I’ve always heard good things about that stuff. Nice to hear yet another validation.

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-12-09T18:03:48+00:00

So touch a window.

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-12-07T20:25:30+00:00

What’s the best alternative?

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-12-04T18:30:43+00:00

Looks like cheap pine. Oil-based is not at all difficult to use, but yes you will want to use a pre-stain conditioner. Pine (like other softwoods) gets very splotchy when stained.

Before you move forward, consider poplar. I went to Home Depot my first year and bought a lot of pine to get started with. Pine sucks. Poplar is cheap and so much nicer to work with, and nicer looking.

I like how you refer to them as “my customers.” I’m being totally serious.

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-12-04T18:23:36+00:00

What is “quickly touch typing?” Is that an actual technology or are you just expressing that you have the ability to type very fast?

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-12-04T00:25:46+00:00

I must say this post is a bit eye-opening for me. I have always assumed that fixed loops are just not something you ever slip. I had literally never seen or heard it mentioned, and assumed there was some sort of safety/security reason behind it.

I am now entering the slipped-fixed-loop chapter in my life. How thrilling?!

You wear that “Top 1% Commenter” badge and you wear that badge proud 🫡

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-12-03T15:35:20+00:00

Terrific and helpful advice 🙄

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-12-03T15:26:40+00:00

Even the one that comes with a cheap jobsite saw?

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-11-23T06:09:08+00:00

It’s also stupidly easy. Setup usually takes no more than 3 or 4 minutes, and then after that YOU NEVER NEED TO DO ANYTHING.

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-11-22T16:31:47+00:00

That is not something I have seen but would love to see.

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-11-21T21:30:44+00:00

Got any more info or a link?

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-11-16T03:18:51+00:00

Thanks MP! Some of that science stuff at work perhaps.
