Carbon Fiber shells

Carbon Fiber shells

Grabbed these for about $65. Super light, as they’re carbon fiber. They had a variety of chopped, weave as well as glossy and matte and different colors too.

Pizza turned out perfect

Last weekend’s pizza were a little too done on the bottom before the top got cooked properly. I meant to grab some fire bricks at Lowe’s, but ended up being a few beers deep in the pool when I decided to make pizza. Anyway, though hard about what I had that would be fire safe….and I remembered my small cast iron skillet. Turned it upside down, put the pizza stone in it….and magic! Crust turned out perfect. Toppings were done. Pizza was amazing. Wife was happy.

Stacked leather wand

I’ve had this idea in the back of my head for a while now and I finally had some time to execute it.

This is a stacked leather wand with black vulcanized rubber tips.

I wanted to try to recreate the stacked leather handle of the famous military K-Bar knife. Took me forever to punch out the little leather washers. Stacked over carbon fiber glued with epoxy and compressed as much as I could. Leather was waxed with beeswax and other surface hardeners. The shaft retains a nice grippy feel, excellent balance and a finish that is sure to patina and age over years of service.

Party ribs for lunch

Started some party ribs this morning so I’d have a nice lunch after doing backyard chores.

Pickled jalapeños and cucumbers from my wife’s garden.

Separated each bone, dusted all sides with MC Whole Hog. Smoked with applewood for 50 minutes. Flipped and smoked for another 50 minutes. Placed in foil pan on a bed of sliced red onions, butter, brn sugar and w sauce to braise after sealing with aluminum foil for an hour.

Pulled and sauced and let tack up for another thirty minutes after removing from pan and then sauced.

Delicious.

Question from a non-needlefelter

Hello all,

I am a maker that has a need to line a 3” diameter cylinder with felt. Previously, I have just used wool felt sheets,and glued them in leaving an unsightly seam.

I’d like to create a seamless cylinder to line my tubes. Is it possible to needle felt weld the ends of a piece of wool felt using the appropriate tools….or is it best to felt around a cylinder mold with wool batting and building up a cylinder to be glued in my tube?

Pool time

Baxter is behind the bucket, not inside of it. Love our Yeti products at the poolside.
