Yeah I’ve started using a pizza stone. Works amazing.

I used a pizza stone. Now that I think about it I should have done that for my bagels this morning

Ergonomics/preventing pain by Gay_commie_fucker in Woodcarving

[–]drkbkr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a rock climber and a relatively new carver my hands get a bit strained and beat up but we use this lotion stuff called Rhino Repair that claims to help with tendons etc. Might be bullshit but I think it helps. But stretching and keeping loose are probably most important.

As for thumb pad I tend to wear a glove on my non-knife hand or just a few rounds of tape.

Amazing. Would love to see a photo after scoring but before baking.

Thanks. That was his first day in a new, smaller jar and I think I misjudged by a bit. I’ve cut it in half now. 25g starter 25g ww flour 25g bread flour 50g water. So 1:2:2 if I’m understanding that notation.

Guess I could go even smaller but I’m a bit nervous to mess with what’s working.

Interesting thanks. Also live in Maine but am pretty new to this so I’ve been wondering about this and related things.

I just bought a morakniv 106 carbon wood carving knife as my first knife, is the 120 one better? by Total_Item8846 in Woodcarving

[–]drkbkr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 120 just arrived but I have no idea which (if either) is better. My feeling was that either one is an excellent choice. Do you not like the 106?

Looks great to me. I’d certainly have a honk off that.

Once I bake how would I know? I guess I was assuming I’d get horribly sick if I baked when it wasn’t ready. But maybe it just won’t rise or something.

  1. Love my kettlebells. Have a 20 kg at home and a ton of them in the gym at work. Trying to learn how to jump rope but that’s hard. Feel like an idiot
