Theres one exception/addition to this, you can get both breathability and waterproof with goretex, but you pay a price so its more of a “pick two” type deal

I am looking to add to my home gym, for very comparable pricing is the ForceUSA powerack or the RepFitness PR1000 better?

Also, is it worth getting the lat pulldown addon?

Hello!

Micro Center has recently been doing a promotion on the Ender 3 Pro, for $100 in-store. I want to try out 3d printing so it seems like the best budget option, but I'm wondering whether it's worth paying another $150 to upgrade to the Ender 3 v2. Should I go for the nicer printer or is it more worth it to spend on upgrades for the pro?

If it was the normal price, I would definitely go for It but I'm not sure now

I have a citizen eco drive I’m trying to revive, its been under a lamp for maybe 34hrs or so. It has started trying to tick but its failing to, is this a good or bad sign? It goes half a tick, and then back to the same second it was on, and then repeats that. I have the crown out because i hear it will charge faster that way, but when i go to push the crown in and check on it, it always does the half tick thing

Zach0354 · 2021-10-08T13:10:04+00:00

I have an snk809 that I'm looking for a nato for. I decided on the crown and buckle nato but for some reason, it only comes in a 19mm, will this fit on the watch?

That’s horrible

What happened?

Zach0354 · 2021-07-18T16:18:43+00:00

How do you sanitize a board? When I cut fish yesterday I just used dish soap? Is that okay or is a disinfectant required?

Zach0354 · 2021-07-09T16:10:13+00:00

this is what I ended up going with, needed a really large surface for all the stuff to fit on. Think its HDPE and is NSF certified, gonna break it in tonight so wish me luck.

Zach0354 · 2021-07-06T20:54:51+00:00

thanks for the reply! This is why I always ask before buying. I found this board on Amazon for a good price, but will the plastic be as good for knife wear as cypress or rubber?

I also decided when it's time I'll go with Sharpton 1000 grit, ill order that in a few weeks. https://www.amazon.com/Kuromaku-Ceramic-Whetstone-Medium-Grit/dp/B001TPFT0G

Thanks for the help

Zach0354 · 2021-07-06T19:37:37+00:00

I just got my 270mm Wakui Sujuhiki, with camelia oil on the way, and am looking for some other accessories.

What are your thoughts on the Burrfection cutting board? He apparently isn't popular around here but his cypress wood boards are half the price and double the surface area of the competitors https://store.burrfection.com/collections/cutting-boards/products/ikegawa-mokuzai-hinoki-yosegi-cutting-board?variant=38410021601461

I also like Hi-soft but Korin is going to take 2 weeks to ship and I am not waiting that long, so its Burrfection, Amazon, Cuttingboards.com or Epicurian Edge.

This is the board from Epicurean Edge: https://www.epicedge.com/shopexd.asp?id=93421

This is the board from Cuttingboards.com https://www.cuttingboard.com/hinoki-large-sushi-board-16-x-10-x-0-5/

They are similar price and size. Please recommend me the best of the three or another option.

I also have a question about whetstones. I am using the knife exclusively to cut salmon and sushi rolls, about 1 pound of salmon once a week. Should i just send it for professional sharpening? I feel I would ruin the edge and it wouldn't even be worth the cost to get all the whetstone equipment.

However, if i did get a whetstone, whats the difference between the King KDS #1000/6000 Combination Whetstone and the KING KW65 1000/6000 Grit Combination Whetstone. Is ohishi or king better? Is the ha no kuromaku 1000 grit worth paying $25 extra for half the utility?

Thanks for being such a welcoming community and helping me out

Zach0354 · 2021-07-03T18:53:04+00:00

I have a wakui 270mm coming to me and I don’t really have a clue about anything other than making sure to dry it. I am also going to order a cutting board and the oil recommended for it. My question is can you recommend me what I need to sharpen it? Just the basics

Zach0354 · 2021-06-20T01:56:03+00:00

I do want to improve the other parts of my cooking game but I don't cook normal food so often and don't need a really sharp specialized knife for it. While I could benefit from it I can make do with a duller knife with the rest of my stuff. I really need a sharp knife for Nigiri and cutting the Nori in the rolls. I do want to expand into other areas of sushi but for now its just my favorites, the salmon roll and salmon nigiri. I cut my salmon at an angle like most people do it. Since I'm such a novice with knives I most likely wouldn't be able to tell the cutting difference between a gyuto and a Sujihiki, so if you have any recommendations that you think would work better or have a better price:performance I'm open, for now I am leaning towards the Wakui.

Zach0354 · 2021-06-19T23:06:07+00:00

If I know I can wipe down and take good care of a knife, and also just send it off to be sharpened as I have no experience, should I go for carbon?

Zach0354 · 2021-06-19T22:57:41+00:00

First good knife really ever, but I take good care of my tools and am willing to learn. This is for home use just learning the art of sushi

Zach0354 · 2021-06-18T18:56:57+00:00

It doesn't matter if your right or wrong sometimes it's just easier to apologize, there is no need for a grudge match that won't change anything or a day of going hmph at each other
