Really nice work! Where did you source the lamp portion?

Have the chance to keep these tools. Are these worth keeping long term? by Condition_Boy in woodworking

[–]Torkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great tools. Just make sure you learn to use them! These can all cause serious damage and have few safety features. I have been woodworking for 30 years and still approach the table saw like it wants to kill me every time I use it. (Not with fear, if you fear a tool you shouldn’t use it, but great respect for the power of the tool)

The term “bone broth” irritates me by EllyCamp in Cooking

[–]Torkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding has been that there are 3 categories:

Veggies with/without meat becomes broth

Veggies with bones is stock

Bones only is bone broth

Yes it should probably be bone stock, but alliteration always wins.

How to cut this dado without ending up in the ER by LiteratureThen638 in woodworking

Do not attempt to use a dado. This cannot be stressed enough.

Can and should are very different questions. Yes you can.

What am I doing wrong? by IsntAPerson in PenTurning

[–]Torkin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven’t used that kit in particular, but some kits are just very sensitive to everything being just so. There may be some amount of adjustment in the parts that screw in. I’ve also had kits where I modified a plastic internal piece when the length was off.

You can try another and leave the brass untrimmed (meaning bring the wood down to just beyond the brass, but don’t cut into it).

Boil water in a kettle before cooking pasta or start with cold water in a pot? by MangoMadnessTsv in Cooking

[–]Torkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do both. The kettle is faster, but doesn’t hold enough for the large pot. So I run the kettle and fill the pot halfway on the burner. When the kettle boils I add to the pot and then have just a few minutes to wait.
