I write to organize my thoughts and sometimes that writing is useful to others and then I publish it. But that's more like 1:50 or so these days, most of the stuff I do I'm pretty sure nobody would be interested in. Last week's project: to recreate an old Romanian kitchen implement. I highly doubt anybody would be interested in something like that.

I’d be interested, should you ever decide to post that content!

Hah, serves me right :) It's a wooden mallet/knife combo that is used to mash eggplant, nothing special really but you can't just go out and buy them here. So I chopped one out of a piece of acacia wood and then endless sanding to get it to as close as the original as I could.

This the real thing:

If you want an SVG for the outline let me know (mail in profile).

That's four hours of work, most of it spent on sanding, Acacia is pretty hard.

I bet there are 7 subreddits focused on topics that embrace old Romanian kitchen implements.
