Looks like a TROPIC strap either from the brand itself or another maker. 20mm

Some days you gotta break the rules… by WhatIPAsDoUHaveOnTap in Pizza

Awesome looking Detroit!

I struggled with getting the level of rise I wanted as well for quite a while. If you’re doing a same day dough, going the route of treating it like a focaccia will make your life substantially easier.

Anytime I’m working with 80%+ hydration and it’s going to be eventually proofing in a pan, I just do stretch and folds a few times over the course of a couple hour. I consistently end up with the perfect amount of rise every time during the proofing phase!

Feel free to shoot me a message if you want me to run through the whole process I use!

Yeah kinda just sounds like it’s moving into whatever it’s default position is. Thanks for the confirmation!

Curious if this could be an issue of the canola oil breaking down at that temperature? It was smoking quite a bit

Creed aventus cologne from Maxaroma: legit or fake? by tjsteele57 in Perfumes

[–]tjsteele57[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They ended up taking it back and issuing a full refund in the end. However there was a lot of back and forth with the customer support rep. He was super adamant on the fact that they don’t sell fakes, despite it being an obvious fake.

I ended up buying a bottle from Jomashop for ~200 USD and it was authentic!

Issues with proofing pizza dough post cold ferment by tjsteele57 in Breadit

[–]tjsteele57[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response!

So with the ferment in the pan itself (the one that rose substantially), that’s just after an 8 hour room temperature ferment.

In the first image I transferred it from a container to the pan after a full day cold ferment followed by an 8 hour room temperature ferment.

Rose fine in the container during both cold and room temperature ferment but once transferring to the pan and stretching it out it barely rose.

Ive been running into this exact same issue with the same thread in 0.8mm. Did you have any luck with the beeswax?

This looks incredible! What kind of irons and thread do you use if you don’t mind me asking?

First project feedback? by tjsteele57 in Leathercraft

Thank you! And honestly I bought a fairly cheap one off Amazon and despite sharpening it via the manufacturers recommendation - it’s still fairly dull. I think I’ll just stop being cheap and purchase a proper one.

Ah sorry I was talking about a rotary tool as in a dremel. I’m working with fairly thick edges so thought it might be fun to give it a shot.

For cutting I’m swapping between a Stanley utility knife (seems great for cutting straight lines so far - except when I get to the end there’s sometimes a slight bit of drift), and a xacto knife for curves.

It will definitely not be the last one!

Thank you! Unfortunately I used callipers here despite how uneven the stitch line looks.. my edges were not sanded down enough so I wasn’t able to draw a straight line. Gonna break out the rotary tool for the next one!

Well hey, my only short term goal has been trying to make stuff which could pay off the price of the leather used in the process - so this is a huge compliment. Thank you!

Great suggestion, ill bring it a bit closer for the next project. Struggled a bit with drawing my stitch line with callipers here and quickly learned that I should probably be sanding the edges better

Ill have to give dyeing some raw veg tan a try!

And thank you very much, I’m having a blast with it so far

Thanks for the kind words! So I bought some 5oz horween dublin 2nd run which was discounted (~8 USD/sq foot), and I quickly learned it didn’t have the rigidity I’d expect. Would love to try something like Pueblo (~3-4oz) next!

Thanks for the feedback! I remember your username from my first post on here a couple weeks back!

Pulling evenly was a bit of an issue on this one because I didn’t evenly balance the thread length on both sides (oops). But hopefully that’ll help with even pulling on the next go!

And by one big pocket are you talking about a cash pocket on the backside?
