TORT making attempt

[whero]

Just make sure you go by the book...

This is the style that I have found (from that celluloid acetate link)....
That fiesta is a little pink, I know.

I got those guards pre-reliced from : Fenderparts & Pickguards (Yuma, AZ) on Reverb.

Warmoth Tort is somewhat similar - not a bad Tort.

Nice - yeah i am thinking of something like that - i saw that pic (link) earlier - i may use that as the base and work in reverse, using that as the top side possibly (assuming they're fairly transparent) ...found some neat products at 2am while i couldn't sleep. Might just do some experimenting and see what happens

Eff that, I'm requesting a replica of that vase!

Checked with the 'artist in residence'. Said vase is packed up in basement storage. At some point she decided though she gave it to me, she didn't like it on display anymore and put it in the 'archives'.

I'd rock a ravioli pattern too, but I don't wanna start a whole point-counterpoint.

as mentioned, it isn't Ravioli.
It is TORT however... Tortellini that is...

(EDIT: I see its already been mentioned..)

Ain't nothing like the real thing.

Melty IS ridiculous, but people use a lot of questionable words. When people say no fuss no muss, what exactly is "muss"? Spic and Span are both highly suspect. Melty is fairly innocuous in comparison.

I was going to say stop making a ginormous deal of this, but fortunately I took the time to look it up and sure enough it's a real word in Merriam-Websters.

I’m wondering if pouring into a mould might be effective to give depth?

For those who have not see them in person, the Spitfire torts have DIMENSION. The light hits each vein differently. Most modern torts are like a flat photograph.
Do any of you remember the "photo-flame" finishes? How do you think those compare to a real '50 Gibson Sunburst?

Pretty similar case...

BTW, I love the poured-epoxy idea...

A friend of mine once joked to me that tort looks like pepperoni. Maybe I should make a pickguard with pepperoni-impregnated resin.

Bummer. As the owner of the piece, you should veto the decision. At least put it in the garage or music room!

Mjt fiesta and reranch shoreline gold.

The reason I ask, is because I have a C.V. P-bass with a fiesta red finish. But it looks more
‘Coral’, definitely a ‘pinkish’ hue. On a dark stage it looks almost blood red.
I bought it as a clearance item, I only paid $165 for it. I know they sold it so cheap, because
of the color. Most fiesta reds’ I’ve seen have a ‘yellow’ to them.

We gotta brush you up on your Italian!
Those a rigatoni’s
These are ziti...

Pretty sure those are penne, the ones with ridges are penne rigata. Ziti is larger without the slanted cut.
Edit: Sorry, I see this has been commented on. My ex is a pretty good cook so accuracy was required with her. See how the training lingers on?

 

[BOOG]

That's penne but I like that too!

Those are not ziti... Those are penne.

now hold the F#@% on one godang minute !!!

yeah the others already put me through the ringer. Was a long day and I get them mixed up but I’m past the point of caring. What stood out was the example pic of “baked ziti” using tortiglioni which, to me is more like rigatoni. For whatever reason, I have always mixed up penne and ziti and I’m second generation half Italian and my wife is second gen full blooded Italian. So yeah...

 

[Bass4ThePublic]

Hey if you can make it look like this, you have my money!

 

[5StringBlues]

I think if you're saying "I like my cheese all melty on my baked ziti" it's fine,

 

[Watchootognbout]

Tort.
Leo got it right.

I can taste it from here. For me, cook it to about 125 degrees.
