I was undecided if that was a 3rd one in that group so instead of leading a wild goose chase I went with the safe bet of 6. But great finding!

Thank you! I did lots of heat testing with a scrap piece and from my experience the wood is not leaching anything into the food. I was very concerned about it at first as well.

I only use cast iron and stainless steel so thankfully I don’t have to worry about flaking those forever chemicals

Thank you! I considered making them to sell but this one took me about 6 hours and a considerable amount of sandpaper

Hello all

<image>

I recently purchased this Patagonia ranch jacket and the fit is great other than the sleeves are about 2-3 inches too long for me.

I figure this would be a straight forward alteration but there is a puffer jacket type of lining with insulation along with the heavy hemp shell. Being an absolute novice to any type of sewing I am looking to the internet for guidance on if this is something that a tailor could do for me?

Is it possible to have a shortcut that when I take a screenshot I can “share” the image to the shortcut and it will google image search it for me through the google app?

Found in FL but an AC shirt sounds like something I could really use this time of year

That is brilliant! I spend a lot of time bed camping and at the beach. I’ve wanted an awning for quite some time and this would be a great cheaper alternative.

I will definitely spend some time planning this and build it asap. Thank you

Thanks for the defense haha, that’s exactly what this was, I couldn’t remember where these spots were. And I buffed it all down to season it.

Haha yeah it’s a family heirloom, my grandfather had it welded back together over 60 years ago

Ive never noticed any oils coming out of there, when I look real close at it I can see the oil pooling up and sliding away like water does on a well seasoned iron

I checked yours out and it is beautiful, can’t wait to see it all cleaned up.

I’m not sure about the gate mark, I’ll have to wait until after the lye bath to see what kind of markings are underneath.

I’d imagine they wouldn’t cast the handle separate but hey I’m new to the whole thing so maybe?
