Waste of space post...

...Yes, when you hold a thin metal blade in flame they get hot...

Just how hot depends on how high the flame is and how long you hold it there. Number 1 blade tips curl under high heat, number 11 blades usually won't...

I know you didn't ask that, but I figured I would throw out SOME piece of useful information here for the next reader...

My apologies, I’m just excited the site is back up and wanted to spread a bit of humor. I’ve been stuck on reddit during the blackout and all of the low effort posts must have rubbed off on me.

I have a few handles with blades i use during sterile work sessions. Rotating the tools so the handles don't heat up like happens when you use a single tool/handle for all the work.

I don't fuck with flames. There's a no fire policy aside from the stove in this house. I stick to fresh blades and sterilized handles.

Thank you for the suggestion, that is what I ended up doing. It was a bit hectic while the site was down and I was neck deep in agar. I may have went a bit overboard from the start but the way I figure it the best way to learn to swim is to jump in with both feet.

I ended up turning a walk in closet into my shroom room and I’m not gonna lie, I was a little scared the first time I fired up the torch in there. I knew not to spray a bunch of iso into my SAB or anything but the fumes get pretty thick in that closet and I just knew I was going to end up doing the world’s best Richard Pryor impersonation.

You dont need to douse the air with lysol and whatnot.

Still air. Not clean air.

I didn’t, I just sprayed iso on a paper towel to wipe stuff down, and on my gloves, but the fumes were so thick they could choke a goat. It’s pretty much a still air room that I set my box up in, even with the door open.

When I was a kid I left a small candle in a jar burning on my dresser, came back later that day to see the jar had burst and there was now wax melted into the carpet in front of my dresser, so I can understand how shit happens sometimes.

Wrap the handle in aluminum foil. Or buy a scalpel and join the cool kids club.

See this guy gets it, I was just trying to make a few people smile. I mean obviously metal gets hot but I found it funny that with as anal as so many people are about instructions and writing  teks and stuff I had actually never seen it written about how quickly those fuckin handles heat up.

I get it broskie :lol:

It's just not a post/thread that is a productive contribution to the Mushroom Cultivation forum, which also happens to be one of the more anal-retentive areas of the shroomery when it comes to rules/etiquite/guidelines lol, no hard feelings by any means. :cheers:

Might I recommend General Discussion / Pub type sections for such things?

Posts for fun/humor are often found there. :thumbup:

For sure man, no hard feelings were felt! I should have thought to post this in a more appropriate sub-forum or at least just in the general discussion thread. I just tend to spend most of my time here reading all the fine work you guys do. I have learned a lot from y’all and didn’t mean to ruffle any feathers. I hope to be able to actually contribute something worthwhile around here but I still have quite a lot to learn. I did start out with about 50 agar jars and have already got my oats, gypsum, and coir, and have done my best to utilize what I have learned here, I take this hobby very seriously because it will provide me with the type of medicine that helps me more than any other and I am very grateful for the educational information archived here.

Your post is fine. No need to post it elsewhere. Not everything in MC must be a long winded tek or a year long project. Simple observations are definitely welcome here.

I totally agree that there are all kinds of threads within the cultivation forums where casual observations and random humor are certainly applicable/appropriate within the flow and structure of the various threads. (i.e. - mush cult general discussion thread, tip of the day, confessions of an amateur mycologist to name a few possible examples of existing threads this could find it's way into very easily)

However, I have seen moderators gripe about this multiple times in the much shorter amount of time I have been around here than yourself. I lurked longer than I've been registered, but nowhere near as long as you've been here, you probably have even been a TC longer than I have lurked, so I must assume you have seen this gripe from mods too. To start a brand new thread in Mush Cult knowing it isn't a legit productive minded post, or question, or what have you is frowned upon and discouraged as they painstakingly take the time to get these places cleaned up during the purges.

Vibes are all good, to OP and everybody else for sure.:thumbup:

Just pulling a new brother's coattail to something that will help him in the long run and cast him in a better light to the mods and other serious community members as he is getting started out with his new account here in the shroomery. I'd want someone to do the same for me :shrug:



(Although reading back through my response to the OP, it could have been delivered better for sure.)

Yep. Funky monkey isn't a mod here either :shrug: and dude's opinion posts might be better suited for the pub etc..

The whole point of why it made me laugh was because it was posted here, in this forum. Wouldn't work in the Pub since humour is all about creating a premise and then smashing it.

Nope, and I don't think I would ever be the guy for contributing with that kind of task lol. I'm not that tech savy, and that realization is part of what makes me really appreciate this place and how much better organized it is than all of the other mycology sites. Much more concise clear information can be found here, 100 times more. I love how smooth this place runs (down time aside) and I value not only the information but the dedication it takes to facilitate such a fantastic site for us.

My reputation/standing around here means something to me in my new hobby, and when I open my mouth (fingers) to say something to another member my comments/advice typically fall in line with that sentiment, and I assume the other member wants the same for himself around these parts. When you make a point to offer value to the community when you can, you elicit more quality interactions and help/dialougue from other reliable, and respected community members/cultivators in turn making you a better mycologist/hobbyist comming full circle to the "Win-Win" in the end.

Not a mod, just a fanboy.
