I use an inshave (aka scorp), compass plane, curved scrapers, and sandpaper for my seats. It’s laborious! Just started on another tonight and of course it has a few stubborn spots.

Good question about the bench. It’s a 5" pine top but it dried funny, curving inward at the top. So I inlaid a maple strip to get the front back to square.

Hah I bet we have the same fish spatula!

Go with a carbon steel pan over cast iron. Similar performance but without the weight.

👍 We keep at big spreadsheet of regularly used products, comparing per-unit costs across our stores we frequent. Costco only wins on a few select items.

Just got a new set of tires for the van which seemed to be a better value, given the “free” installation.

We use the Clever Brewer and love it. I’ve done French Press and pour over before and much prefer the Clever’s coffee. It’s the best of both worlds - an immersion brewer with a paper filter.

I got tired of cleaning it. Most of the time the seasoned carbon steel just needs a wipe.

We have a Mafter 10" that works great. The handle is kind of primitive feeling but one gets used to it. It totally replaced the 10" stainless All Clad pan which is now lingering in the basement.

Was that song overplayed?

Love these guys! We have a bunch of bee balm (wild bergamot) outside our window so we get two shows: first hordes of bees and then finches!

Thanks for the heads up! I’ll try that soon.

Yep, I’m on Mint too and just live with that bug.

Windows 10 frequently nags you to update to 11. The nags are very intrusive and annoying!

Ah, thank you for this!

I think Nova covers all but item 3.

What are they?

I like the way he drew cars. They look weak and frantic.

I still whistle the music to that game! That and Ninja Turtles II.

What’s the top going to be like?

Android 10, Samsung S9+ (SM-G965U1). Sorry for throwing old setups at ya 😂
