Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DFARM: "white people" enchiladas. My wife's been making these for years. It's shredded meat (these are beef, chicken thighs is the most common for us though) mixed with enchilada sauce mixed with cream cheese rolled in flour tortillas. Not "correct" but delicious.  After living with my wife for 20 years, I dont think there really is a "correct" way to cook most Hispanic food. There are traditional ways, and there are ways that use what is available. One of the things I respect about the Hispanic culture is the ease with which they roll with what's happening. Some things are non negotiable. I get that. The rest are pretty much guidelines from my experience. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DFARM: If you want to step up your game a little(a lot, actually), keep an eye out on craigslist, offer-up, FBM or whatever for a small pottery kiln. I got mine for $100 iirc and installed a PID controller/thermocouple and solid state relay from ebay. I'm pretty sure I'm into it for under $200. I've pretty much outgrown mine, but I'll probably keep it around as a dedicated tempering oven once I build a bigger furnace for heat treating bigger knives. you had to fuck around a lot too |

I normally make bush craft knives out of it and give them as gifts Why don't I meet people who just hand out knives. |

Looks like a great weather day. 41 and partly sunny. Most of the Friday/Saturday storm is melted from the street already.
Will be out visiting today and have a lunch date with friends. Coffee tonight out in the man cave with my buddy. Proper retireing I must say. Will have not for sale blue with me.  Attached File |

I started giving knives to my soldiers many years ago as “impact awards”. Also, I’ve always felt that a hand made gift is more meaningful than something from Walmart somI just combined the two. I’ve been giving one to youth I work with in Scouting when the reach Eagle Scout

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MaxxII: That is very cool! Thanks. The Scouts certainly seem to think so as none so far have had anything approaching a custom made blade. I’ve been using Florida Rosewood scales made from a tree that a hurricane knocked down a few years ago as I figure it will be a reminder of growing up in Florida. I also put 12 knots in the lanyard to remind them of the Scout Law. Always trying to think of any more symbolism I can build into the blade. Eventually I plan on getting a laser to engrave the scales but haven’t purchased one yet. |

As I've gotten older I've started to notice that gift giving holidays seem to have turned into events where everyone just exchanges gift cards. I've started to try to make more of the gifts I give as a form of rebellion against that. |

My oven gets up to 1000f in like 15 minutes, 2000f in an hour. And is accurate within a degree or 2. It works great, and I have like $400 in it. |

I'm torn between winding coils and just buying coils from evenheat. Who knows, I could end up finding a deal on a bigger pottery kiln to harvest parts from. Lol I had a good handle on most of the wiring, it was the thermocouple wire and learning about how the PID works that took my time. I feel like I'm better off now struggling through it though. |

Stole this pic from elsewhere. Check out the pivot on this thing! The maker cored out the pivot hole and inlaid the material into the pivot so it aligns with the rest of the scale.
