The crust was a tad thin and ended up tearing a couple pieces while it was still too hot for human consumption, but the other 5 out six slices came out crispy on the bottom and chewy on the back.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SecretSquirell: Spanto landed today. Holy jeebus what a shitty detent and lazy action. It's almost like they didn't even install a detent ball. Just brush the flipper and it starts to open. The washers are probably dirty as hell, I can barely even wrist flick it to get it the rest of the way open. My other one that's on washers isn't anything like this one. Gonna have to tear it down and see if a cleaning makes a difference. |

The washers were fine. Added a drop of nano oil and that helps it get out a bit farther but I still have to add impetus with my wrist to get full deployment. And in order to keep the blade centered, the pivot is too tight to get it to lock open even with a wrist flick. It's going back. And there's a pretty nasty burr on the Spanto edge and it looks like they rubbed the flats on a belt while sharpening it. |

I have this knife from Work Tuff Gear, the Tayal, made from SK-85 steel, dark washed. I used it one time to cut some steak I was eating and noticed the blade was stained after that. Can't figure out how beef grease would stain a knife blade. Anyone have any ideas on that? Not that it is a big deal but more of just curious.

Luckily it held together and landed upright so I took the chance to prop it up a bit higher in the pot. Weird plant - seems to like some abuse (and murder). Clay pot still seems fine - I guess it doesn't matter when it gets rained on from the top. https://i.imgur.com/6EMPZ9h.jpg About every grocery store Phalaenopsis my wife bought over the last 15 years is in flower right now. The white one is an actual natural species, and also what she wore way back when we got married, so it rates a lot higher to me. https://i.imgur.com/wdEcSjh.jpg Orchids are about the only flower I miss having around.

Brave's ai says- Comparison to Other Steels SK85 steel is often compared to other high-carbon tool steels, such as 1095 and 1084. According to one search result, SK85 steel has a lower edge holding compared to 1095 steel. However, its hardness and wear resistance are still impressive after quenching and tempering. It's not a stainless steel so staining or patina is normal. In my experience, beef usually makes stains with a bluish tint to them. |

It's gonna patina when you cut anything with high moisture or acid content. |

 Attached FileI think we're about to the point where we can start planting seeds directly in the ground. We've lost a couple of broccoli, cabbage and artichoke starts because we've had a couple of nights that just barely froze after we planted them. For the brassicas that didn't make it, I'm assuming that they were just weak plants. I'm not sure about the artichokes but I'll probably pick up a couple more starts and try again. |

We still have a couple weeks before we can start planting. I did get the garden all ready to go. Just need to put the fence up.
Used the 111 to open this new saw so I could finish the steps at my cousin's. Blew the old saw up with a log I was trying to cut. Almost lost a finger on that little escapade. That's what the bandsaw is for! oh well. Got this saw on sale for 200 off normal price! Used left over railing parts from his old deck as he's cheep! Phone distorted the pic for some reason. Weird! Stair treads are new and as close a match as we could get. Dryer vent is the next project. Looks stupid like that. Builder dumped it in the attic and the moisture rotted the boards.
