This is exactly what it’s like becoming a hobby machinist. Start off with a drill press, end up making all your own tools.

Yep I had the same experience with coffee. Started with a shitty nespresso machine, moved up to a manual machine, then semi automatic. Now I’m roasting my own beans. I would legit buy a coffee farm and make a living out of it, if I get the opportunity.

I will absolutely ask about it! Haha. Do they shed a lot? The cats I’ve had have all been decently short haired, so no fibres you could really work with.

Here’s the video by the way.

When we used to have a super sheddy dog, I always told my wife she should spin yarn out of the dog hair and then knit a sweater for the dog, but she wouldn’t do it.

I may have fallen into a rabbit hole of tutorials on this very topic (growing and spinning flax). So. Many. Traps.
