When I die, if there is a heaven, I will spend eternity rolling around with a pile of kittens.

My family have to hand-saw all the wood for our fireplace because we're too cheap to use a power saw or turn on the central heating and our axe is crappy :saddowns:

Wandering Knitter- buy some land, build a house and start a croft raising sheep and selling handspun wool and charging yarn freaks to come out on holiday. Go on. I dare you.

 Chill your cake before cutting it in half in the fridge and an icing spatula. The smoother your surface the easier it is to get smooth frosting on it.

vv yes this too because I am a space cadet. It is called a crumb coat. Do it.

 You can work with it slightly chilled depending on the type of frosting but I wouldn't leave it too close to the cooling element in your fridge, y'know? Sometimes that can be a matter of preference. It looks great though :) I'd eat the hell out of it.

I mostly chronicle that stuff in the blacksmithing/metal thread, but here you go.






Simple letter openers are pretty much all I've done so far. I have a ton of leaf spring stock that I'll make something out of someday.

:swoon: It's bootyful and I want it.
