Augsburger Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 What are the Uchigomori fingerstones used for, polishing the edge and removing stains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augsburger Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 It must be really difficult to sharpen and polish a edge with a 270mm Gyuto using a natural stone like this http://www.japanesenaturalstones.com/PhotoDetails.asp?ShowDESC=N&ProductCode=109 How do you control the angle when the stone has such a slope? I have been considering buying a natural stone but keep being put off by the awkward shapes of the stones I find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I hope that cheeses are wrapped up. I don't understand, how am I supposed to rub the cheese in cow blood before I put it in my window sill for a few days to simmer if I leave it wrapped up?

Voltron Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 For the desktop. Albeit in piano black. I really like the organic aesthetic overall, although the port may be a little ... too ... organic. The 3-way made the cover of Stereophile! You're so cutting edge out there on the bottom of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrion Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Three way on the cover of Stereophile? You must get a different magazine than me. Mine just had a really cool speaker, like the one Stretch bought with an extra driver. Jeff, nice looking steak. Shit, I just remembered that I forgot to put the chicken in the brine I made this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 It's you. I stopped by Cask Store today and was shut out for Gran Classico (2 month wait for stock apparently) but I did manage to find some other stuff including No. 3 gin, which sounds really good, plus some cute 200ml sample bottles of the new St. George gins. They also have their monkey absinthe in the 200ml bottles, which was very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymad Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Nice... I like the small bottles... and yep Augsburger it is you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augsburger Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) Must be the wine, perhaps I should switch to Absinthe. Those tiny bottles look so cool, nice complement to a liquor bar. Edited September 21, 2011 by Augsburger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellylh Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Have to agree with Mikey and Al Greg. Very nice Al. I want those cute little St George gins. Wish they sold everything in 200ml bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morphsci Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Nice haul Al. I like the idea of the 200 ml bottles for trying out new stuff. Also thanks for the reminder that I need to purchase a backup bottle of Cocchi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt Peanuts Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch. I though I'd give it a try with my trackball dying and spare trackball missing its ball (thanks to my cats). In case anyone's wondering, touch function of this things sucks donkey's balls. It's so temperamental and unpredictable it's just plain ridiculous. The pen function, on the other hand, works great. I'd consider exchanging it for pen-only model but the cost of return shipping and shipping of the exchange would eat up any savings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepak Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 I haven't paid for it yet, but I fully intend to since it sounds great It's a balanc Dynmite with dual S22 for power supplies. I remember hearing one at a NY meet (SFT build?) a lond time ago and it resonated with me just like the O2/KGSS. Just in time for winter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
