At that point I hope you would also be living in a cabin in the woods with hand-planed planks. <3<br /><br />Oh gosh, I love the idea of having glass sheets around for crafting surfaces. I'm currently "dealing" with having the nicest desk I've ever had, which means I finally have to be paranoid about scarring/staining it when crafting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2232406966172617667.post-52551429807333542172016-09-13T09:38:53.341-07:002016-09-13T09:38:53.341-07:00I know what you mean about the spinning wheel!

I've done the CD/dowel/hook thing before but it's not the same... my mental logic to prevent me from getting one is to tie it into my need to learn the lathe. I've convinced myself that at some point I'll cycle back to woodworking and will make myself a wheel... at some point. <br />http://www.craftsmanspace.com/free-projects/spinning-wheel-plan.html<br /><br />I've got a pile of glass shelves from Ikea originally purchased to be shelves (to better show off tightly packed books). I've pruned down my Billy Bookcases over the years but have kept the shelves both wood and glass. They make for excellent impromptu craft or gaming surfaces.<br /><br />I'll figure out how to get you a copy of my Flat Back binding handout. It's easy and with my discovery this weekend of using sandpaper to even out the book pages (as opposed to a formal guillotine) mostly doable at home. I did cut some chipboard with a boxcutter but a good shear makes that so much easier... <br /><br />I still don't know how to do the sewing on cords style or a formal rounded back case... but I will this winter!

I've actually been trying to find a Catan quilt of some sort online to get him for Christmas, and I really don't know if you'd be interested in taking requests.. But if you'd be willing, could you possibly name a price you might accept for just a small version of this quilt (for a Christmas present)? I mean, just the land tiles with some sea--like in the second picture you posted. If not, I completely understand. At the very least, I thank you for posting this wonderful work of art!Aaron Wendroffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00049977498915174993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2232406966172617667.post-59234370973480318672012-07-03T19:08:37.385-07:002012-07-03T19:08:37.385-07:00cool, i live in Singapore & if i am lucky to c...cool, i live in Singapore & if i am lucky to chance upon squid ink, i'll make them! thanks a bunch. =)Autumn Weehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01326315534618654936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2232406966172617667.post-83962826768700138972012-07-03T10:14:18.200-07:002012-07-03T10:14:18.200-07:00Hey Autumn!

I don't know enough about cooking to understand the real squid ink bread recipes I've found around the internet... But throwing in squid ink is easy! I just mix it with the water in a "normal" recipe/ratio mix. The briny flavor is fun but to compensate for it it I sometimes drop the amount of salt by a little bit... <br /><br />All my bread has come out more grey then super black. I'd say you only want... 200 g or less of flour per 1 squid ink pack to make it really dark (I think I tend to wind up with 400-300g per packet when I make stuff) <br /><br />Let me know how it goes?Sithel a.k.a.
