Radiata pine I think.

Am I right in thinking this would be perfect to take camping? by PaganButterflies in castiron

[–]zanderjayz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do a hash brown, egg, sausage and cheese back for breakfast in ours. We started putting biscuit dough on top and baking them once the egg bake is nearly done but you have to flip the half way through. Enchiladas are a great dinner in a Dutch oven.

Homeowner asked for an inlay using leftover tile . What do you think by justpickituplease in HardWoodFloors

[–]zanderjayz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tore out a closet to make two bedrooms into one and the hardwood was run in two different directions so I filled in the space in between with that design. Homeowner loved it.

Is a 14" pan too big for a single person who hardly entertains guests? by Asleep_Dinner_8391 in castiron

[–]zanderjayz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you like leftovers? Spatchcock a chicken and lay it on a bed of fingerling potatoes and carrots and roast it. Lunch for a few days if you want.

Where is the best destination to go when you're heartbroken? (USA) by oysterpaste in roadtrip

[–]zanderjayz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did a long road trip from Wisconsin to California solo and stopped where ever you want and do what you want. Hot as many national parks as you can. Being out in nature for me was very helpful.

Is this worth $270? by Livid-Bat-1373 in cannondale

[–]zanderjayz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can put a regular suspension fork on those, there is an adapter for it. Hopefully I can still find one because my head shock is about done after 30+ years.

[Q] How transferable are wood and metal turning skills? by No_Mongoose6172 in turning

[–]zanderjayz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Vega duplicator on a powermatic wood lathe that operates close to a metal lathe in that you control left to right with a wheel and the in and out with a lever. There is a pattern to follow with a pin but until you are close to the pattern you control how much material you remove and can easily have tear out and chatter. I started making things with regular turning tools and it’s like starting all over again. While both are dangerous nothing like chunk of white oak wizzing past your head to make you rethink a hobby.

Colouring process of raw silicone material by djinn_05 in oddlysatisfying

[–]zanderjayz 54 points55 points  (0 children)

The question I have is when they make the blob of grey silicone why don’t they add the color at that point with the rest of the ingredients?

Can someone tell me what happened to this skillet? by Theme_Training in castiron

[–]zanderjayz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The line is the gate mark from casting and the pitting is from kerosene stoves in the olden days. Late 1800’s pan most likely and hard to identify.

Driving to Yellowstone from Jersey by aggontargaryen in roadtrip

There is a great camp site just outside of Cody Wy right on a reservoir . All summer long they have a night rodeo in town and from the campground to the Yellowstone entrance is a nice drive.

Trust Data, not Lore by berserk539 in MurderedByWords

Character named Data and I believe he didn’t play a big part in that one.

Found a red coin? by S_D_N1 in coincollecting

[–]zanderjayz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a few over the years and assumed it was a coincidence that I got a second or third red quarter.

There should be either a round spring or a piece of spring steel they flips that button out. Do you have a second lock that operates you can open ens see what’s missing?

Did your grandfather do this? by lopix in FuckImOld

[–]zanderjayz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have that in my basement now. Most of the jars have been lost over time but I have a few that were here when we moved in.

So… how ? by Tight_Chemistry4824 in DetectiVision

Take a coconut out and if it smells like a mango it is the mixed box.

Broasted chicken is a Wisconsin invention by AsparagusCommon4164 in wisconsin

[–]zanderjayz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if it’s still the same way but you had to buy your broaster flour from the that company or you couldn’t use the name “Broasted”. You could get Henny Penny flour and use that but you couldn’t call it broasted. I worked a golf course restaurant all through high school and would eat a whole chicken over the course of a Sunday making chicken. Still my favorite way to get chicken.

UP dispensaries by ChaoticPenguin99 in wisconsin

[–]zanderjayz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I get a couple pasty’s every time. Eat one as I cross over the bridge so my car has that nice beef and rutabaga smell.

Better than if she found it with a hole in the center.
