Man, I gotta disagree. On a hot day, that magnesium just drags the cream up too fast for my liking. I've seen it seal the surface before the water can even get out, then you get that weird plastic skin. Give me a wood float every time, it lets the slab breathe. I'll take a little bleed water over a blistered finish any day.

A good knife, hands down.

Honestly that's a brutal lesson in not putting all your eggs in one basket.

Wait you actually put valve grinding compound in your 1911? That stuff is like 80 grit sandpaper in a tube, man. I'd be terrified of getting any of that grit in the trigger group or the slide rails.

Oh, that's a real shame. The introduction sets up the whole book's rhythm. I'd quietly go back and read it before the next meeting.
