  1. What did it end up going for? Asking prices are all over and I'm curious.
  2. I'll be making this without the steaming and report the results.
  3. That combo of spices would work well with something like tahini instead of the oil for the nutritional improvement. Blending a bit of any nut butter like tahini with some water and citrus juice works well with these Middle East/Asia spices. Did you want this in the food/nutrition section and want me to move it?
  4. Useful info. I did clean it lightly with sandpaper before putting the plug together.
  5. Oh yeah, if a screw is showing either I've failed, or it's part of the look specifically. I've got a Porter-Cable pocket screw jig that is simply awesome and super fast, and also their biscuit cutter which is not Domino quality but also really damn good. I find myself never using it, probably should try a few more times and maybe it will fit my needs. Or just blow the cost of a cheap motorcycle on a Domino. Sigh. I suck at dowels, so it's a good reason to try again with this project. If I fuck it, I can hide the mistakes on the bottom of the table top. Oh yeah, I'm one of those who leaves the inside of my projects looking like complete garbage. Can't see it, don't care.
  6. 10 gauge, since it's only 30 amps. I have a lot of CorrosionX, I haven't seen it clean anything. It would protect it from moisture. It's incredibly great at that part. After the photo I cleaned the conductors a bit and got them really tight. That 6-50 recep lets you really tighten them well.
  7. I've got a table to glue up that I think will need tenons, or dowels, plus probably pocket screws. I can't come up with a way to hold an angled flat piece to another. So, pocket screws are my go-to when needed for either complexity, or clamp time. If I want to keep working, they allow it, instead of 20-30 minutes per glue/clamp session.
  8. "Unheard of" in the same sense that autism was never diagnosed. We had fewer/no diagnostic tools and treatments, or people just outright died with no doctors around. LOL, it's the same logic as the anti-vaxxers saying it's correlated with vaccines. We simply didn't "hear" about it, and it was everywhere.
  9. I should have noted: Titebond 2, Bubinga and hard maple. So one extremely dense wood and one dense wood, both with great structural strength. Oh, Bubinga is theoretically hard to glue due to oil, here we see it's not. I do wipe it with mineral spirits before gluing.
  10. PM an address, it will go off tomorrow. It's a decent camera with ok night lighting. It just doesn't fit my usage model with is centered on the Home app now.
  11. Take it. Amcrest ProHD, model 960P, has wifi and ethernet. Powered from a USB brick. I don't think it can do PoE. It was an ok small room camera but I'm removing everything that isn't directly HomeKit compatible and replacing it with HK devices.
  12. When is it dangerous to use? This cord was used outdoors in a wet environment (marine, boat shore power). The female end apparently had water come in. I cut it off and it was blacker than a whore's heart, but not flaky. I cut off three feet and it's starting to look cleaner. The other end is perfect. Should I keep cutting? Any danger here? I wired it up with an L6-30P and N6-50R for a welder adapter and extension. The welder is rated at 30a but came with a 50a plug. My garages are all L6-30R.
  13. Purple and gold. Fry's has bags with mini purple & gold mixed, which make great smash potatoes.
  14. Some people know this, some people are shocked. Nearly everything I build is glued and clamped without mechanical fasteners. Almost nothing is mechanical only. Fastener-free construction is my favorite. Here I broke apart a tiny joint, that I expected should fail very easily, but no. And I didn't even apply the glue carefully, since it's not a stressed part. I didn't like the wood color so I was starting over and decided to break it as a test.
  15. There are a bunch at the beginning of the thread, are they not visible to you? Anyone else?
  16. I've been lazy most of the day. It's on now. Temp is 76 and super pleasant low humidity.
  17. Nor mine, therefore I force myself to fight for less hoarding and shit laying around. The garage is making me insane right now, too many projects so shit everywhere. Today the weather is decent and this will be corrected. Self awareness is step one.
  18. I've been using the Milwaukee in a Dewalt, I got it all wrong. I rarely need a step bit. When I do, I really need it.
  19. Oh, and this bit from that recipe reminds me... Steam the baby new potatoes until tender (this takes 20-30 minutes). When cooked, turn off the heat, pour off the water from the pan below the steam pan, then sit the perforated pan on top of the empty, hot pan with the lid off to dry the potatoes. If it makes your life easier, you can steam the potatoes a couple of hours in advance as it would be fine roasting them once they're cooled, so long as they haven't been in the fridge. Cooling potatoes before eating them also has a huge impact on glycemic index. Doesn't matter if you re-heat them; going through a cooling cycle slashes out the sugar response in your body.
  20. I used potassium chloride as I do with almost everything, and it was fine. Sold as "no salt" in stores.
  21. I didn't dislike the advice, just trying to figure it out. The spottiness was created because *I* spot painted. Before that, the wall was all even. I then tried the flat, then the semi, then the eggshell, creating the problem. Currently, with my mix of flat and semi, I'm reasonably happy and you can only see it if you try. So basically solved the problem, not the mystery of why. It has a shitload of coats right here because of multiple repairs. And then all the attempts with different paints.
