So here is the card for the rocket oven.  For the page for this card ...



CLICK HERE to go to the rocket oven and help us with:

  - should we add five or six more points?

  - maybe expand on some of the points already made?

Ideas?  Words?  Prose?  

Here's an idea to run with... Add more pages to this ebook to cover the original deck information as well! A hardcopy version and decks delivered (by who knows!?) will then be of more educational value and cover twice the concepts. I hope you are putting some notification/invitation  to the ebook in the purple deck so the uninitiated have a clue where to find more information. Maybe you're already going to.  That's my additional 2 cents.

As to the additional points or expanding on some, fit as much as you can on any given page. Possibly costs, gains, or other valuable information that can be summed up in a sentence or small graphic.

I suspect - but haven't disassembled it to prove it - that the padding in the seat is some sort of upcycled scrap fabric - maybe natural, but quite possibly not. If there's foam in there, it has to be quality, because they're still in use 50+ years later.



What would I cover it with now? Wool isn't particularly practical for a kitchen chair - or is it? !

Here's my 2 cents.
If using a wool fabric that you don't want felted, a quick way to some padding pockets would be to cover one side with wide strips of pocket material, side by side, sew across then cut in pockets, fill and sew shut.
If you have a bunch of layers as padding, sew them all together like quilting, where it could also function as a design element.
Create a wool piece (crochet, knit, woven...?) that can be felted to an appropriate thickness to be encased in your cotton of choice.

I seem to have this problem more since our move which is where I lost my desktop and am reduced to access via a fire tablet, my Android cell phone, or the occasional laptop. If its on my end, I may have to just live with it. I brought it up in case it isn't just me, and there could be a fix on the other end.
I'm of mixed emotions that I'm Not the only one!

Just caught another glitch in the machine... Above post was made 9:08 p.m. and I get that here is posted Ranch time in Montana. I'm in WV. Not a 4 hour difference. Have your clocks already "fallen back"? I thought that was next weekend!

Code please. I'll try this.

I'm so tickled these are coming out I've already backed for a "brick!"

This is currently winning at 26, but I can only guess what this tool is ( some kind of scythe?) and Paul mentioned marketing to Gardeners. I do know the other tools and come from a gardening background like many other urbanites of my time. While I'm fondest of the last two, small handtools for close work. It seems I've owned a set all my life as I was introduced to growies by about age 4.
Everyone here casting votes is more advanced in knowledge than the average urbanite. Something to consider.

Yippee! The coveted 2nd deck!

Perfect timing on this. Thank you.

Late diagnosed female AuDHD just now understanding why her life has been such an emotional roller coaster! I knew it wasn't my fault! I've long thought of myself as strange, mostly in a good way. I knew my strengths and weaknesses. I even am self aware enough to know my triggers. I have experienced a meltdown and shutdown. How about 3 weeks 5 days late/ post term babies? They've only looked at pre term!

I can't wait to get my hands on these! I know there's no chance for Xmas this year!
