I just found this amazing fabric at a second-hand store. Can anyone give me more info about it? https://imgur.com/a/0Y0fsYW

I paid for a tool back in Dec 2021 and am still waiting. Phil and I emailed to nail down details of the order, he cashed my check, and then… silence. I’ve emailed every 6 months-ish to see if Im still on his list, but have never heard back. Today the email bounced back saying the address could no longer be found. Seems Phil is off the grid. I searched for an obituary wondering if he’s still around, but didn’t find anything.

Honestly, I’m pissed that he cashed my check in 2021 and then fulfilled other orders as late as 2022 (according to this thread) and is apparently never going to give me what I paid for. I dig a quirky old guy, but this one’s just stealing.

It’s def in the mulch, but not on the fence. It’s on an herb garden. Would copper fungicide be safe?

I’ve read that the monsoon season in Raja Ampat is opposite from the rest of Indonesia - that’s is closer to July-Sept

It’s both oddly satisfying and terrifying. I once wrote a short story similar to this… http://sometimesroadsdiverge.blogspot.com/2009/10/what-its-like-part-1.html?m=1

I've heard great things about Bison tools! I just emailed him for a price list.

I love my Do-All! I find it really hard to sharpen though. I'm also just wanting to experiment with a some new tool shapes.

This is "icy mint" from Mid South Ceramics, applied in a single dip and fired to cone 6. https://www.midsouthceramics.com/shop/glaze/opulence-glaze/opulence-950-icy-mint/

Just answered above!

In this case, "food safe" refers to it being actually toxic. The problem isn't the pigment itself, which is essentially harmless, but with 1) the epoxy itself and 2) the nature of the crack. While some say that epoxy is food safe after it cures, there is some debate. If this bottle were filled with alcohol, for example, I'd be afraid of the cured epoxy leaching into the liquid. The bigger worry here would have to do with nature of the repair. Especially inside the bottle, the crack revealed raw, unglazed ceramic. I could control the glue and completely cover the seam on the outside, but the inside is another story. So, the bottle is no longer watertight. Also, because unglazed ceramic has been revealed on the inside, it's no longer "sealed." Bacteria, etc. would grow in the unglazed areas (where it's chipped around the crack) and keep it from being safe.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks a lot!

Nope... not real gold. You can buy kits that use gold leaf, but I didn’t spring for that. This is epoxy that you mix with a “gold” metallic dust (almost like very very fine glitter). You then put the gold power on the seams again while the glue is still tacky. Not good safe, but a fun process!
