I do not know your face but there was a guy on there making a pistachio milkshake but used beer instead of milk.

read the rules. it's right there in black and white.

btw: does anybody around here know enough Iranian (Persian) to tell us what the heck a Pistak is? Is it like "clover" in Hungarian? I asked my mom, when I was a kid, "why is the word for clover the exact same word as for a horse's gonads?". "It's not" said she. "But it's the exact same word(s)" says I. "No", she says, "the one is a plant, the other is the horse's gonads."

there.

now we've all learned something.

Makes perfect sense to me. Horses testicles are not bristly round flowers. All related to black and white rules. Like not being allowed to sell pistachio ice cream... because pistachio's aren't round and bristly. Of course your mom was right!

Haven't looked at this thread the last few days... And I come back to horse testicles and pistachio ice cream.... What the heck people?!?

yeah i'd like to twist some of that big fat ... wire up into a tiny micro aswell why not

 

[SLIPPY_EEL]

this NIOBIUM ALLOY wire i been using is also good, no metal taste or rough throat like i get from kanth and nichrome
the only downer is where i get it from only sell equivalent to 29gauge so i have to twist up two lengths, it defo heats
up faster then other wire.... anyone else tried it?

Well, seeing how this is the 43rd block of wood you've found, it should be nice and dry by the time pdib is ready for it.

Val I'm really amazed by your dedication to wood. Soon you can build a house . But seriously they all look stunning.
