Retired High school physics teacher. Recently in retired to teach special education math to sixth graders.
After 35 years,, nothing a sixth grader can say will upset me. I am not the miserable one in the room, my hormones are normal, I can do math.
Sorry if I offended you.
#1 As a person on the spect rum and an MA in theoretical mathematics and under grad degrees in math and physics, I would probably first challenge them to see if they could tell math from arithmetic, then boycott the place. No one need nerd hate.
The feed back I got was, they work great.
It’s not brittle at all. I made a jewelry bossing hammer and used Ipe as the handle. It has really stood up to the task well.
The gouges took very small bites and they got dull fairly often. I use Pfiel brand carving tools so if the tool slips instead of cutting it hits the cut resistant gloves fairly hard. Sanding is not really carving but it is a huge part of the process and it was super slow.i probably have over 10 hours of sanding.
I love your work. I akso make spoons.
I have also driven the river road then hiked the Domingus spring trail then from Domingus spring to Elephant Tusk, down to Marisacal mine, then back to the trail head and my Jeep in July. It is a nice Kangaroo rat hike.
Yes
My mom, who passed this year has several hundred pounds of Big Bend in her collection (MS Geology.) I hiked this trail all the way to the old army camp off Black Gap Road Last summer for my 67 birthday challenge.
Planes by Stanley, Wood River and others. Saws made by Daizo Mitsukawa the master saw smith. Chisels by blue spruce and some oldies by Pexto. Band saw 1959 Delta. Dove tail saws by Bad Axe Saws. I am mostly analog.
Unless Trump pardons him somehow. I know this is currently a state case.
Some of that is being manipulated under the table with magnets. As a physics teacher, I used to do that to baffle my students and get them to question observed data.
Sir Roger Penrose wrote a great book on this exact premise several years ago called “The Emperor’s new Mind.”
I remember at the time this came out that I neede a nice intense waltz. I used to love to waltz to slow classical songs. Then Hope Sandeval came to the rescue.
Looks like a Hapsburg.
He will be on his knees sucking trump’s peeper with in a day.
As a color blind guy, I was in my 50’s before I found out they were in fact “not red.”
I can see one of my middle school sped “cool” kids tring to explain to some admin how this is not a vape.
#1 feels like teaching my sweet little sixth grade special education kiddos.
The whole east coast south is the reason the west coast is doing this. The east coast south is MAGA country. I live in Texas, we can’t have anything nice either because over 50% of our state votes for MAGA.
A ceramics rib. You use them for shaping, compressing and pulling pottery on a wheel.

I had a bit of a break through. 30g grape seed oil, 10g orange oil, warm gently then add 5g melted bees wax. I then rubbed it on warm. Two trips through the dishwasher and it still looks great. The oil thourally polymerized.
The problem with corn oil is that it is one of the base chemicals for a lot of dish detergent and they can really make a sticky ugly finish out of a rubbed oil surface because they act like a solvent.
I been playing with using orange oil as an oxidizer and I have had some success with getting it to polymerize boiled corn oil. I was hoping it would work with canola, but nope.
Tung oil has a lot of problems also and food grade BLO is really questionable. I mix mine with orange oil because that is an oxidizer that polymerizes the walnut oil much faster. Only other real option is peanut oil.
Those are nice. Very nice.
I have tried those and since some of the woods I use are very hard, I end up wearing a ton of bandages when I try to use them. They work great on basswood and those kind of woods, not so much on pecan and beech.
