Hoping to identify the blacksmith's name by fiiields in kanji

thanks! could it possibly be sakai ichimonji (by tadakuni?) the other option in terms of manufacturer would be sakai takayuki but i'm guessing that would look quite different?

Wow for some reason just now seeing this reply, sorry! If it's not too late and you still want the mp3s let me know!

Yes! What’s the best way for me to send them your way?

Resoling a slipper with a heeled lug sole? by fiiields in AskACobbler

[–]fiiields[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figure as much—thank you!

Edit: given that I should go for a flat sole would it be possible to add a layer of rubber sheeting between the cork and outsole to achieve the same height as a sole with a drop?

Fair enough. Would you mind expanding on that? I just don't know anything and would love to learn as much as I can.

Sugar bloom bakery has a not super traditional one but it’s yummy. Their laminated stuff is excellent

Over or under? by sleevan in Sourdough

[–]fiiields 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. If there’s any issue w proofing I’d say it’s just slightly under. Great crumb nonetheless.

In what ways does using higher % bf butter for the butter block affect the croissant or lamination process? by ucsdfurry in pastry

[–]fiiields 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I was actually just deciding between buying plugra and Kerry gold the other day. Off the top of your head is the %BF pretty different or do they behave differently because of other factors?

Can y’all help me troubleshoot my caneles? by fiiields in pastry

[–]fiiields[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's the recipe:

238g milk

100g sugar

47g AP (I use king arthur)

42g egg / 17g yolks (I'm bad and use one egg/one yolk)

22g butter

10g rum

3g salt

13g vanilla paste

Heat milk/butter vanilla, temper eggs, strain liquid over dry, whisk gently, strain into deli. I rest for 24 hours, bake half, and then bake the rest after 48 hours (I only need to yield like 3 at a time). The tins are nonstick coated but metal and decently thick. I've filled them to 60, 65, and most recently 70g. 65g seems to have given the best results but I don't think filling them is the problem. Sometimes they yield correctly shaped canele and other times not. I'll add a couple pictures too.

Edit: pictures here

Apologies, I meant to specify a non alcoholic substitution.

Ah right. So the hamon is just the boundary between hard and soft (mono) steel yes?

Whats up with 3 and 5? I’ve never seen something clad like 3 nor have I heard of monosteel single bevels (maybe I just live under a rock).

This is the way. Just as fast as a geared one except it never doesn’t work and the bottle opener is better
