No problem! Here are a couple in progress pictures from a bit ago. This was with the broiler pan steaming method which comes out with the darker crust.

Re: Striving For a Healthy Long Life
This mornings bread that came out of the oven just 20 minutes ago.

Now try to tell me that doesn't look delicious. It's great out of the oven while the crust is still crispy, or after it has softened being stored a few days you can make some toast with it. I've made grilled ...

Re: .25 Weatherby RPM
I'm not big on Weatherby catridges, there just not my thing. But all there products seem to be very high quality and I have looked at their rifles once or twice. I can even appreciate what they do with their catridges because I feel like they bring wildcat like options to the market. It is cool.

Re: Community Sharpening Journal, Part 2
Looks good from here. I imagine it should be plenty durable with that adjustment. Curious what the edge retention will be like for that steel.

Thank you both so much.
A related question: as with all else we what what we pay for. Are Granola Bars, Cereal Bars, Energy Bars mostly just sugary sweets masked as healthy or do you think some are truly good?

I'm not familiar with M398 or what realm it resides in. Is there another steel that is considered similar too?

Re: Draconian Knife Ban Bill Rises from the Dead in Washington
Any reasonable person might agree with you, but government officials are not, so interpreting this the law out of context is likely to happen, and in my opinion, exactly the point. You bring up some fair points, but I might argue that they are somewhat blown out of proportion in a similar way that ...

Re: VG-10 criticism: why?
I don't know why people feel the need to defend steels from criticism. It would be like someone going to s race track and insisting your 70s era muscle car is still just as good as the 21st century sports car or super car. Meanwhile neither one is very practical for getting groceries.
I don't ...

Re: Zombie Draconian Hawaii Knife Ban Bill Deferred Indefinitely
Well, I guess we can call that a win for now. Nice to hear that the people decisively down voted it. I have an ancestral tie to Hawaii but have never been fortunate enough to visit the islands. Hopefully if I ever get the opportunity to visit it will still be legal to carry my knives.

I wish friction folders were more common. Higos are not my favorite spin on one but I love the traditional aspect of them.

Re: Tamara Likes Dragonfly & Delica
Not sure about the make and model, but it appears to just be a sawed off shotgun. Break barrel, single shot, it looks to me like the bore is maybe 20 gauge. I would suspect that to be a custom rig of some sort.

Re: Community Sharpening Journal, Part 2
Good break down Mage, thanks. I guess that means I don't want to change my typical method then. Ideally I would have edges smoothly shaving off of stones, but that hasn't happened yet using any technique with my hands, so I suppose I just go about things my typical way and hope to reach that next ...

Well now, that's interesting. Maybe my problem has been too light of a touch. I guess that gives me something I haven't tried yet.

Re: Community Sharpening Journal, Part 2
I think I understand what your saying just fine. I doubt that pressure has been my problem so far. My touch is typically extremely light at this stage. It could be an angle control problem, which I do not rule out yet, but I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I really like edges with ...

Re: Generational Classifications: Do You Identify?
Relationships can be hard. The best thing I have found to do is genuinely care for everybody's well being, but be unwavering in my own convictions. Unfortunately being true to your beliefs is often enough to serperate you from even the people you care for. Yeah, it can just be hard.

Ive read most of the Bible since 1999. Some of the books and passages dozens of times. Still, I want to hear what the Catholic doctrine is on the Bible.

Re: Generational Classifications: Do You Identify?
Is this true, in the sense of it being common now? I never had kids, and I don't hang around kids or places they frequent at all, other than at family get-togethers, where my great-nephew and great-niece are.
This isn't the only teacher I've heard say this about the 'Gen Alpha' kids. There's a ...
