@@TheElfsmith I'd also suggest for thin sheet metal, if you want to replicate a common shape (like a bowl, pan, or pilgrim's charm), you can carve a form out of hard wood and hammer the sheet down into it, using smaller tools as you go to manage fine details if the form has any.

[@ardennielsen3761]

for large scale production, running the non concentrated beat water thru a sand stone filter would clear it up a lot. wouldn't be that hard but that requires more water to keep the sugar dissolved at or below ambient temperature. find giant sand stone bolder dig a hole in the center on it leaving a conical shape on the bottom so the water drips in one spot and prime it with several buckets of regular water so it can be fine tuned for optimal filter speed. as long as there is no bacteria in the beat water and wat crudely filtered before pouring in the sand stone trap the water should retain the sugar and pick up a few minerals on the way. when the sand stone is no longer viable it can be crushed into sand and added to clay dirt making it easier for the plant roots to disperse, by pulverizing it first. sees a cob, just eats it raw not even remotely close to ripe... because that's what dogs do, they can smell but have no sense of taste.

[@nokiademon773]

Don't push yourself and burn out. Take care of yourself HTME. Also, I'd push for a metal mortar and pestle soon as you can because a legitimate medical dental condition in the middle ages was rock shards breaking off water mills, infecting the bread and getting stuck in teeth and such causing teeth pain and teeth to sometimes crack if memory serves. I'd look into it just in case.

[@phanorkner]

It is very much a thing. Archaeologist can tell a lot about ancient cultures diets by looking at tooth wear. Cultures that ate a lot of stone ground grains are very worn because of the fine grit that always ends up in the flour.

[@Geeksmithing]

Burn out is probably a poor choice of words.

[@nickstein3129]

I certainly recall something like that. And making a mortar and pestle is much easier than a wok. You just round off an ingot, then use progressively larger rounded bludgeons to make a hole in the ingot and force it outwards. The pestle is as simple as forming the shape, then hitting the hot metal to stone or something similarly course.

Since no one at HTME will be eating stone-ground grains every day, I think the risk is minimal.

[@Entiox]

I've done a little blacksmithing, mostly making small tools and knives, but I have a few friends who are armorers, which as Adri pointed out is a much more closely related skill set.

To the smith: You can do this easily with cold forging. You need to get a big piece of wood, and chisel out a bowl, with the curve you want on the metal. oh! and you need a rounded hammer as well.

[@DianneKargBaron]

You'll also find it easier to start from the centre and hammer in concentric circles towards the outer rim. "Achievement Unlocked: Not Trash" made LOL

[@nickstein3129]

Personally, I would have plantished the bowl over a dished stump. Then up the metal on a spoke to plantish it further. Really get rid of those rough bumps. About 45 minutes of that and he would be fine.

With the corn flakes not binding well, it might have to do with not having nixtamalized the corn, which also would release more nutrients and help with the flavor. Essentially you’d be making fresh masa, or masa harina if you dried it out and made it into a powder to re-form into dough.

[@jaratt85]

The biggest problem you had with boiling the sugar beats is that you didn't clean and season your pan. You have to clean all the carbon off from the forging process and then heat it up and rub it with oil, let it cool and rinse and repeat a couple times. If not you end up with exactly what you did, a black/grey nasty disgusting tasting mess. Also ask Cody from Cody's Lab for help with that, he's made sugar from sugar beats a couple times. Something else you missed was the part of the recipe that you said that the ground it, cooked it, ground it and cooked it again and then rolled it out and it became the flakes and then they cooked those. You only ground and cooked it once which is why they were so grainy and not smooth. Alternatively you could've just ground it into finer flour, cooking the corn before grinding it also would've helped, just like how the Mexicans make corn flour aka masa for tortillas and tamales.

[@Godoftheu]

In Germany there is a spread for bread which is basically sugarbeet syrup and depending on thickness it ranges in color from black to like a dark golden brown. Goldsaft is one Brand as an example

[@crustpunkheysoos8754]

[@nickstein3129]

To the smith! In the future, try plantishing the sheet with a ballpin hammer on a dishing stump, then flip it over once you have a basic shape. Using a raised blunt spoke and a flat hammer, compress the bumps back down. Work your way from the center outward. By doing this you create a dished shape. It's actually pretty easy! I use it when making armor.

I feel like the general quality of your baked stuff could be greatly improved by either a sifter or a stone miller. It seems like the common issue is that it's wayyy too much work to grind the grain enough by hand, and the texture and quality suffers for it. It makes sense not to grind it more, it's already a grueling process, but I think it would make baking easier.

[@nilsschenkel7149]

Some kind of bowl die is immensely helpful if you try to work sheet metal into a curved shape, as it pretty much holds a constant radius and so takes a bit of the guesswork out of the forging. While there are steel ones, a T- shaped lump of lead (so you can clamp it in a vice) or the end of a log also work well, since before working the sheet metal you can just indent the desired shape into them, and they leave a smoother surface than steel dies.

If you want to make a dough from corn separate the corn into 2 portions. Sprout then dry one portion then grind and mix both portions. Boil half the now malted flour until it can absorb no more water. Let it sit until completely cool (preferably over night) mix in the rest of the dry flour with as much water and fat as is needed to make a stiff paste. Roll out sheets let them rest until they form a skin on top. Tear/cut up the sheets and roast.

[@joshuabaughn3734]

If you need a more effective grinding stone, use a Mexican Comal. The Tortilla Ladies have been using them for centuries to grind corn into tortilla flour and the Aztecs used something similar for even longer to grind food like corn, chili peppers and cocoa beans for use in cooking.

One of the easiest ways to make a forged metal bowl or pot is to cut or burn the shape you want into the end of a round of firewood then heat your sheet steel to a normal forging temperature and pound it into the form with a forming hammer or ball-peen depending on how tight the curves are. My first time doing this, I used a really beat up old chisel to carve a rough shape, a rasp to refine it and a river stone to smooth it. Second time I used a ball bearing to burn in a depression in the center of the new round then took a bowl I had made in the first mold, ground the outside nearly uniform and used it to burn the rest of the shape in. I had some luck placing it on and lighting a charcoal fire in the bowl but heating it on a fire placing it on went much quicker and since I could rotate the bowl without having to worry about spilling burning coals, it was easier to even out the burn and not have it shift to one side or the other.
