And happy anniversary 🎉 I have never tried tanning my own leather. Mum did try doing a sheep skin many years ago, but that was messy. HS Thank you!! oh yea they were! A nice homemade chokecherry/service berry wine accompanied it. I also used a bit to create the au jus with some black pepper for a bit of spice. Then I sauted some onions until brown and made country gravy and smashed taters, with a light salad. Hoping you are doing as well, are you going to plant a garden this year? Some good spring veggies?

Members Darren8306 Posted November 4 Members Report Posted November 4 I tried tanning myself, with a haunch of caribou given by a neighbour (I have a GREAT neighbourhood) Egg yolks instead of brains (I lacked spare brains) and work, work, work. Then, do more work. After that, more work. It's ready now, to be a toboggan liner for an American friend who just made a baby. She's a caribou researcher, so hopefully I did a good job. Oh, and it isn't hard work, just there is a LOT of it, and it all needs attention. Quote

Members Handstitched Posted Sunday at 07:51 AM Members Report Posted Sunday at 07:51 AM @chuck123wapati ive kept up on my basil and oregano, and my parsley has gone ' kapoof' almost two feet high. I also planted some capsicums, both red and green , something I use a lot of in cooking. Dam catapillers keep eating my mint, not happy. Just made a heap of sausage rolls, and curry sumosas , some for dinner tonight and the rest get frozen. I can get sausage meat from our supermarket. God bless mum for teaching me how to cook Your ' burb looks quite at home in that picture.

Hopefully, I can get some rest soon. Ima getting tired lol. It's been in the teens at night and only in the 40s during the day, but no snow, just bitter cold winds. Any way your garden sounds like it's going pretty well. I don't have enough growing season here for peppers, sure wish I did, i have to start them indoors then hope they don't stunt when i replant them. I think i might be able to do some summer sausage this winter, we have a good supply of meat.😁 plus my daughter works at the local Walmart and get a heads up on markdowns so we get some low cost burger once in a while.

Members Darren8306 Posted 2 hours ago Members Report Posted 2 hours ago I usually make a mess of contact cement. These were better. By a lot. I have a syringe to fill them from a can (kept in the house) and bring one or two of these small glue pens out with me, into the sometimes-frozen leather shop (and radio lab) Anyway, cheap Temu find if anyone wants to try some.
