Like you said, it's less than retail.

If these are boards you want, and you can get a pic first and see they're in decent shape, then go for it.

Okay, but how do I ask the onion flavor to join the F2 party. Just dice and add?

To your last point, yes, the distinction here is a sharp edge versus anything that could abraid a rope, I'm not suggesting the cliff edge is fine to bound around on just because it doesn't come to a point.

Good clarification.

This is basically a mint condition grigri, and you should feel confident using it.

When we talk about sharp edges on our hard goods, the rule of thumb is that if you can't cut a finger on it, while actively trying to do so, then it's not something we're concerned about soft goods coming in contact with.

Any criticism of luddites is misplaced. The Luddites weren't against technology, they were against machines and automation destroying jobs, wages and working conditions only.

We could all do to be luddites.

What's your use case. Loads aren't static, you should have some margin of error built in anyway. If a 50% strength reduction gets your load close to the MBS, that's not a good use case.

Yes

Checkout the book Walkaway by Cory Doctorow for a good glimpse.

That makes it even more impressive!

Zipworks' method is just so damn good.

These look so clean!

The one from your profile picture looks amazing as well

Lemon ginger. It's so easy to nail, unlike some other citrus+ginger combos

adeadhead

Phenomenal! You patterned it?

adeadhead

Probably? A picture after the bubbles go down would be helpful.

You want unflavored for your starter

Can always poke holes with an awl to make hand sewing with some heavier thread easier as well.
