I've always wondered too (uk) so I recently tried making some.  They were more like scones, but lighter and fluffier, probs due to all the butter.

Yo,
Did you ever get the spring module working?

Cheers,

I've never been a big fan of the global knives tbh, don't know the big fuss around them, the blades always feel kinda flimsy and the balance is off, theyre also way too light for me, then again I was brought up using those big Chinese cleavers for everything, like this (not actually my one), so what do I know!


As for what's cooking? Made a spelt loaf on Friday

Ramen last night although no actual ramen picture I do have a little vid of the broth:

It started by making a dashi, soaked some kumbu overnight, brought to boil, removed and added bonito flakes to steep. Also, grilled the vegetables (fennel, carrots, onions, tomatoes, celery, chestnut mushrooms), well griddled, and soaked some shitakes. Made a huge difference to the broth the dashi and the grilling added a real depth and umami to the broth. Simply seasoned with a little salt and soy and it was done.

Yes! Thank you, I always feel like I'm missing out a bit when people talk about their posh soldering irons, buy the truth is I feel like I can do anything with the same 40 watt Antex iron I got at maplins 8 years ago. I got a pointy narrow tip thing at the time and its still going strong. At uni we had Weller irons and tbh I thought the nicest thing about the Weller was this little tube that was next to the tip to suck up the smoke.

I think they're in the UK soon, I thought ever so briefly about going. You may have changed my mind.....

I like my pedals like my women, small and cheap.... Haha, they'd all be Mooer pedals :p

Ah man, love the stylings on this. Gonna have to find some sound samples.

Wow, that was fast. Glad it worked out! You can thank my girlfriend really, she likes doing printing using these things, she was the one that suggested it to me after my ironing woes.

Another thing, don't over etch. 'Just a little bit deeper' is probably not necessary (as I've found out from last nights etches, had some detail lost).

Enjoyed All Them Witches, cheers for the introduction.

I'm having my first play through of Kendrick Lamar's, "To Pimp A Butterfly".

I'm up to this track:

Sounding good so far

Ever since I started using a Brayer I've had no issues with the transfer.



Prep box, put image on, heat with iron, use brayer, heat again, roll again and repeat once more for luck.  It usually works out.

Thought some of you might enjoy this. 

Coincidentally I was going to etch some more boxes today, though I've been using caustic soda instead.



Don't forget to flip your images folks!

D'oh.

I love the demo tape, i really need to do a build report on mine. The low gain sounds are really good, and an excellent bax tonestack. What changes did you make? I notice the 'inspired by'...

Pedal looks really nice, so neat, especially with the ribbon.

Shakey Graves's stuff is pay-what-you-want on Bandcamp all day. So I'm listening to a bunch of it.

I really enjoyed that, thank you.
