New, somewhat experimental end grain cutting board in maple, with cherry trim.

There is too much epoxy in this board. Bad for the blade. Oh, well. In fact, you can see through parts of the board. But I did make sure not to use a very hard epoxy. I used Art 'n Glo.

DO NOT naïvely try to saw this board apart. It contains two steel rods. :)

It is finished with mineral oil, beeswax, and carnauba wax.

(I cannot describe it because of my disabilities. I am in a lot of discomfort. Someone will have to alt 4 me.)

Stainless steel strengthened: Twisting creates submicron 'anti-crash wall'

techxplore.com/news/2025-04-st

techxplore.comStainless steel strengthened: Twisting technique creates submicron 'anti-crash wall'A combined team of metallurgists, materials scientists and engineers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shandong University and the Georgia Institute of Technology has developed a way to make stainless steel more resistant to metal fatigue. In their study published in the journal Science, the group developed a new twisting technique that functions as an "anti-crash wall" in the steel, giving it much more strength and resistance to cyclic creep.

A second step, raised on pylons, to which it is held by nuts on ½-inch threaded stainless steel rods. The joint is not quite flat, so hopefully the step is stiff enough not to bend under the tension of the steel rods. Otherwise I will have to start over!

There are six black ash hardwood joists, though they are thin. However, though epoxy is easily bent over time, much of the epoxy here has been stiffened with chopped fiberglass. So there is hope.

The original step now needs to be raised a little. It sits only on the outermost joists. I am considering using wooden boots on those joists.

Stainless Bob tack welding our solar arch on deck of our boat in Brighton in 2016. The only part of the refit I didn't do myself.

I thought he was doing a pretty good job of this. I later found out he's got a stack of welding certifications, including one for work on nuclear power plants :surprised_pikachu:

He could weld stuff other welders called impossible, like a new exhaust pipe into the rotten aluminium body of a diesel heater.

Anyone recall I was complaining of coffee oil stains on my percolator? Ran down some rabbit holes from tips shared. Bottle Bright turns out to have sodium percarbonate a main ingredient and whoa—that’s what makes OxiClean work so well. 1st photo the bottom of filter basket AFTER I washed. 2nd photo is after I put a bit of OxiClean as paste for 10 minutes then washed. Learned so much about my 3 fave cleaners! Comment has a link. #OxiClean #SodiumPercarbonate #Coffee #StainlessSteel
