Using this as a place to share some of my many hobbies and find cool art! DM's should be open!
Made smash burgers tonight! Potato buns, smokey cheese spread, two 3oz patties topped with American cheese, paper thin onions and jalapeño, and finished off with a classic burger sauce!

My partner and I received a grocery mix up, and one of the things we got was a bone in pork shoulder! We've gotten a new smoker so I got to try smoking BBQ for the first time. Turned out absolutely wonderfully!

Commissioned a metal stamp of my makers mark! It turned out beautifully and was from StampsCustom on Etsy. Absolutely professional and quick feedback!

Begun making a prototype for this year's Yule gift! Trying my hand at leather working for the first time and absolutely chuffed with how my draft has turned out! Dark brown leather, suade backing, red stitching, and brass snaps!

My plant collection has grown exponentially! Inherited about 50 plants from my Grandmother and have made an absolutely beautiful stand in my kitchen!

A couple of really easy breakfasts! One is candied bacon with an egg over medium, and the other is egg-in-a-nest!

The Smith-Corona Stirling has its first challenges! I figured out the "Variable Line Spacing Knob" is missing from the left platen knob. Without it, the platen quick release doesn't work. Took some feedback from some kind folks on reddit, but learned that the platen can still be wiggled free!

Picked up two new pothos for my collection. A lemon mirage pothos and a Philo Brazil! I'm absolutely in love with the leaves of the Brazil! The Lemon looks a lot like a pearl and jade pothos, but with more of a yellow.

My typewriter fascination continues! I picked up this Smith-Corona Stirling from a coworker! Looks like it has a lot of gunk, and should be a challenge to clean!

A dear friend got me interested in mechanical typewriters! They've got an adorable machine with cursive typeface, and it was fascinating to get a typed letter! I picked up this Adler Universal 200! Made in West Germany and brought over by the Mormons, this baby has had quite the journey!

One of my favorite sandwiches to make during the summer! A Vietnamese sandwich, this one has char siu chicken, dikon and carrot quick pickle, cucumber, jalapeño, and cilantro!

Breakfast hash is the best way to use up leftovers and make a great breakfast! This one is potatoes, spam, bacon, onions, and garlic. Topped with cheddar, gouda, and parmesean!

Bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on an asiago bagel! Fantastic to make on the weekends, especially with a jammy egg in the middle!

Made the "No Waste Carnitas" recipe from Serious Eats! Seriously easy recipe with fantastic results. Who doesn't want a whole 9x13 pan of meat??

Got this absolutely beautiful set of Zastava M70 grips from Marschal Grips. They're maple and finished with red shellac. I think they add a really classy note to an already fantastic pistol. They're a bit wider than stock and fill my hand really well!

Another project is de-bubbaing a Finnish capture 91/30 Mosin! Formally drilled and tapped for an after-market ATI scope mount, I've installed an adjustable Smith Sight front sight and stock rear sight!

When you order military surplus, cosmoline is a way of life. Cosmoline does well at preventing rust in long term storage, but holy shit is it a pain to remove.

I've had the best luck with a heat gun followed by mineral spirits! This is a No.4 Mk.2 Bayonet for the Longbranch Enfield!

One thing you run into when you're a fan of older military surplus guns is cosmoline. It's fantastic at keeping rust away and gluing everything together. Best way I've found to deal with it is a gentle application of a heat gun and then mineral spirits!

The hobby wheel had spun once again and I've pivoted from candles and jewelry back to gun smithing! Picked up a 1944 Long Branch Enfield No.4 Mk.1*. Absolutely beautiful shape. Did a full breakdown and clean!

Followed a recipe from ALF's Kitchen tonight and made Jalapeño Popper Smash Burgers!

Two 1/4lb patties smashed with thinly sliced jalapeños and topped with havarti cheese. Nestled between two toasted potato buns and dressed with raspberry bacon jam and whipped creamcheese!

Finished my last batch of protection pendants! I buffed them with 0000 steel wool, and they've got stainless steel fittings! I adore how the spalted maple turned out.
