The ‘Taishu’ variety of Japanese persimmon is definitely worth trying! 😋

Homemade pizza with shredded cabbage for today’s lunch.
Having some balls of #MagicBreadDough in the freezer makes baking pizza a doddle!

Today's #DIY #WoodWorking project at the Yama-no-Furusatomura’s crafty hut!
I actually bought the cabinet on the auction site mercari, so today’s DIY was kitting the cabinet out with a speaker, wirings, a Perspex panel for a topside jack, installing a jack panel by drilling a hole in the rear panel, and installing a faux leather handle on the side of the cabinet. I think it turned out beautifully! 👍

Chilled soba noodles for breakfast this cool autumn morning in Tokyo.
I was surprised to see that a serving of soba gave me 12.7 grams of protein, so that with the glass of whole soy milk, hitashimame soy beans, and a pot of yoghurt I was well over my protein target of 20 grams per meal.
TIL soba trumps udon in terms of protein!

Baked sea urchin, fresh oysters, and fried fish cake for tonight’s seaside camp feast in Miyagi prefecture, #Japan.
Perhaps the ultimate in the little known art of no-cook camping. 😁
Chilled soba #noodles with some satsuma-age fish cakes for lunch today.
A good way to use up my ‘hitashimame’ marinade as a good ‘enuff soba dipping sauce!

@felis_catus_domesticus@toot.community Yes, I used the drill press to do pilot holes the last time I was there. Didn’t bother with countersinking though, as my wood was soft pine. I remember now how just working at a slow pace, trying not to botch the job felt super tranquil. Very zen, as a matter of fact! 😊

A glass of non-alcoholic beer with a shot of black coffee makes a great match with the stir fry!

Chilled pasta with ratatouille and a fried egg for lunch today. My secret sauce is to use plenty of freshly ground black pepper on the pasta.
Pepper goes so well with chilled capellini!

@felis_catus_domesticus@toot.community Thanks for the tip. Luckily I have a lot of off cuts from my previous DIY project so I’ll practice my Japanese saw moves with those scrap pieces.
In Tokyo, there’s a municipally operated camp site cum woodwork workshop where they let you use all kinds of nifty electric tools for a nominal fee. So I could try my luck with a bandsaw or something, but it would be nice to have basic hand saw skills too! 😊
Replying to
@felis_catus_domesticus@toot.community Yes. For me, this wood working shop run by the Tokyo municipal government is the best deal I’ve found. Only 500 yen a day, with a free run of the power tools, with advice when needed from the old lumberjack who babysits the DIY’ers, and the price even includes free screws, thinners and glue.
So far, I’ve made these two pieces there…

My latest #DIY project - a guitar stand, inspired by #Dutch artist Gerrit Rietveld’s ‘crate furniture’ series!
Unfortunately, my local home center won’t do diagonal cuts… so I’ve had to fall back to doing-it-myself with a saw. Jeez, this DIY lark ain’t as simple as it looks! 😭

Chilled udon noodles topped with molokhia, natto, and furikake of dried sardines + dried sakura shrimp for today’s lunch.

@felis_catus_domesticus@toot.community Thanks for the tip. Hmm… sort of like Allen screws, but square! I’ll keep my eye out for them. I did find on my previous DIY projects that unless I put a good amount of downward pressure on the drill driver, the drill bit _would_ disengage from the screw heads!
Straight-from-the-pot style ‘kamaage’ udon #noodles with #natto, #seaweed and #katsuobushi dip for today’s lunch.
I use the natto sauce to flavour the whole thing, but substitute the mustard with wasabi, to get a bit of a yudofu vibe going. It’s cheap and easy to put together, and super healthy too! 👍

@felis_catus_domesticus@toot.community the onsen stool is a useful item for sure! Great for sitting close to the ground, or floor.
That reminds me, I also made this stool for my PC desk too. It’s a bit heavy but works great.👍

@felis_catus_domesticus@toot.community My favourite IKEA chair uses this bent wood technique. Not something for a DIY’er to try at home though I expect!

@felis_catus_domesticus@toot.community Ah! I knew there must be an easier path! 😂
If I don’t get super skilled at precision Japanese hand saw wielding, I do have a 45° cut fall back position…. although I suspect this will probably require the use of glue as well as screws to withstand the weight of a guitar.🎸
