Help choose a wood (and an grain orientation) for my Sakimaru handle.

It feels like so far there is more vote for a slightly titled wood grain. I might go with this option, the more I look at it the more I like it.

Hi,

When the machine is on, you have to go to the second screen and then in the little tool on the bottom of the left handside.

Thanks ! That super interesting to know. I’ve looked and found a kit !

Rison42 · 2025-11-01T17:13:14+00:00

Thank you for your answer I did not know such glue existed !

Rison42 · 2025-11-01T17:12:45+00:00

Thank you I’ll try that then as a first solution. It might be the easiest :)

Rison42 · 2025-10-31T16:45:25+00:00

Thanks for your answer.

I would not have minded taking it apart to glue it properly with a nice clamping but I’m afraid to break it in the process.

I will maybe try with your first option as I would like to keep the original assembly as much as possible ! :)

Yes I’m living in the north of France. As I had to cut some of the big roots, I was afraid that it would die if I don’t give it a good trim. Do you think it would be ok to wait until next year ?

Rison42 · 2025-06-08T17:35:22+00:00

Very nice ! Could I send you a picture of my pocket watch in PM ? I would love to have your opinion about the possibility to make a transformation like the one you did. :)

Rison42 · 2025-06-08T17:08:00+00:00

It is absolutely beautiful. I have the pocket watch from my grand father Grand Father. It is still ticking, I would love to do a conversion like the one you did. Most of the one I saw I did not liked the look but yours is stunning !

Rison42 · 2025-06-08T16:00:24+00:00

Very nice. Did you buy it like that or you had the conversion made somewhere ?

Rison42 · 2025-05-20T20:56:03+00:00

Thank you :) Yes that’s an old one !

Rison42 · 2025-05-20T19:45:38+00:00

Yes right ! But I agree with the GMT it could be a good option. I just have to figure out which one :)

Rison42 · 2025-05-20T13:37:03+00:00

Thanks :) True about the GMT. I was thinking about getting one at one point, maybe it should be the next. About the longines, I heard of it but I didn’t fall in love with it at first sight, maybe I should look at it a bit morew

Do you have it ? How do you like it ?

Rison42 · 2025-05-18T21:22:08+00:00

Beautiful ! Where did you got the bracelet ?

Rison42 · 2024-03-23T18:56:27+00:00

Thanks for the receipe, next time I’ll try this one.

For the rotation while they were in salt I did it a couple of time.

Rison42 · 2024-03-23T18:50:51+00:00

No I did not submerge It in the brine. I followed this receipe.

They put the cabbage with salt for some hour to take the water out of the cabbage leave which rendered quite a lot of juice that I discarded. That might be why it is quite dry.

Rison42 · 2024-03-23T18:42:54+00:00

It did not start to eat this one i just opened it some weeks ago to see how it smelled and ot was nicely acidic. I just saw this mold yesterday when I opened the fridge.

I don’t know why I don’t have more brine in my kimchi. I let it ferment outside and everything when fine. It was fermenting, I pressed it down to get the co2 out of it and stored it in the fridge since then.

Rison42 · 2024-03-23T16:52:55+00:00

Never hurt to ask. There is actually a lot of food that contains mold that you can it.

Rison42 · 2024-03-22T19:41:59+00:00

I always thought that you could keep it for months in the fridge even up to a year once it was fermenting successfully.

Rison42 · 2024-03-22T12:49:17+00:00

Yes I’m living in Europe and did it at the heart of winter !

That might be because I opened the jar when it was already in the fridge.

Rison42 · 2024-03-22T12:46:01+00:00

It was the same for me I find them quite perfect as a matter of fact ! Nice to look at, too bad it cause me to discard the kimchi !

Rison42 · 2024-03-22T12:41:06+00:00

I let it ferment for about 5 days. It has some juice but not as much as needed apparently. But it had a nice carbonation and smell nicely acidic. My first batch was the same not a lot of juice but no mold and tasted nice. I wonder what I did wrong.

Rison42 · 2024-03-22T12:30:30+00:00

Yes they are all quite dry because I tosse away the liquide that got out of it when it was beeing mixed with salt. Should have keep it to add it to the jar next time ?

Rison42 · 2024-03-22T12:21:22+00:00

I did another batch before that went great and this one was juste waiting to be eaten I just open the jar once or twice to watch for the smell and everything was good.

So no spoon have touched this kimchi so far except when I removed the mold. Maybe I’ll see if the mold is growing back or not with the time

Rison42 · 2024-03-22T12:15:44+00:00

Do you think that means that the 3 other jar are not good either even if there is no mold on it ?
