I have some that's starting to look like molasses. Over 20 years old. Used some a while ago and it set up just fine. No way to know if there is any loss of strength, but I called them to ask and they...

I don't think wood or gas would make a difference to the taste of the pizza. Temperature and cooking on hot bricks does, at least if you're trying to replicate a "pizza napolitana". For Chicago style...

The Elements book is great. To further enhance your pizza dough try including a cold fermentation stage (the 36-48 hr recipe in the Elements book)-- after the bulk rise, form the dough into balls and...

Charring of the wood can happen around 400 deg F, though finishes may well be damaged at much lower temperatures. A hot frying pan can certainly char the wood. I don't put anything hotter than...

I don't know the particulars of your oven, I have a home build Pompeii style oven. I fire it to reach a cooking temperature of 850 degrees on the floor (the dome gets over 1000), the pizzas take...

Something it took us years to figure out (and that other gardeners, particularly in England knew way before us) was to abandon the garden model where individual plants are set like popsicles standing...

It's a little mind boggling that chip designers have now pushed up against the speed of light as a serious limiting factor in chip speed. I don't think chips actually move electrons, they're way too...

I have no clue what I'm looking at there-- what's making those yellow lines? Are they important? Is the camera stuck up on the tailgate? Why is this better/easier than a camera you put just above the...

Then there are all those drivers who have no clue what a center turn lane is for and how to use it.

Just as an example, here's a 60" commercial mower that would meet the needs of many of the guys who work around our neighborhoods...

The only concern would be with a very tall door warping. I like the middle option, how tall is that door? I don't think small doors very high up are at all useful. At least if the door opened from...

We're already seeing fairly widespread conversion with no state regulation in place. This suggests that the benefits already outweigh the costs for the landscape companies, at least the higher end...

In this part of semi-rural New England a fence is regarded as a very unfriendly act between neighbors, certainly if it blocks the lines of sight. The idea of being forced to pay for someone else's...

The laser is simple and brilliant. To date I've just eyeballed the placement of the cutter with generally good success, but have erred on the side of leaving the bottom of the biggest bowl too thick...

I never stopped loving cherry! I hadn't realized it had gone out of style. I did all cherry trim (with birdseye maple accents) in our current house and it must have been that downturn that made it...

Back in the '60's "leakproof" batteries became a thing for old-fashioned acid containing batteries. The companies would replace the device that got wrecked by the melting battery. I wonder if any of...

I trust that was Hank Sr.!

I just watched the Steve Allen bicycle segment last night (unrelated to this thread) and thought it was beyond hilarious. "Q How long have you been playing the bicycle? A. Two weeks" My respect for...

I happened by chance into Exotic Lumber in Annapolis MA. An astonishing collection of (huge!) burls and what looked like most of the ebony in north America. Quite a range of other "exotic woods" as...

In the usual order I try things: "wicked shaap" (as we say in Boston) tools and _very_ light cut -- hone your gouge after sharpening, both inside and out; shear scraping or a negative rake scraper...

The only fix I've ever done that works long term is to pull them apart, clean up the mortises and tenons and re-glue, adding back material with a thin piece of veneer as needed, or in more extreme...

I've done it for many years without concerns or problems. I don't ever enter sensitive information on an unsecured site (eg use only ones that start HTTPS), and now I use Apple Pay on line so that my...

Incredibly unlikely that if you've done all the work on the up and up (eg with permits) and paid them what they asked for that they can come after you later on. You've done what's required to inform...

If you can draw the part in an appropriate graphics program there are a range of rubber-like polymers that could be used to 3D print it....

Fortunately I have a big hayloft to store the empty systainers because I can't bear to throw them away.
