it's real easy.  You wash it in hot soap and mild water.  Rinse.  Put on medium heat.  Rub vegtable oil on the wok with a clean paper towel.  Then wipe with a clean paper town.  Heat wok wfor a few minutes, then cool.  Don't wash your wok afterwards, just rinse and clean with plastic pads, then reseason.  w00t!

Take it out with a clean finger or the corner of a piece of material...;

Heat will also help break up oil.  Look at a grease-ridden frying pan after washing it with cold water and soap.  Then look at it after you have to wash it again in hot water.

get a small washcloth , dampen it with water, put it in the microwave for a couple of seconds, dont make it to hott just enough to be steamy, put it on the bump, remember not to hot where you cant take it. seriously the next day it will be way smaller

Remove the tyre and inner tube. \n\nSaw through the rim. Take a large mallet and gradually bash away until the rim is one long straight piece.\n\nJob done - but I can't think why you'd want to do this ....

Toss it in the microwave for 30 seconds.  The end will peel up a bit.

In most cases, the trick could be accomplished simply by misdirection, a basic tool of the stage magician. Namely, the performer draws the audience's attention away from the spoon during the brief moment while he is actually bending it with his hands. The typical bend, where the bowl meets the handle, requires relatively little force. Another possible method is to use a metal spoon that has been previously doctored so that a simple flick will cause it to bend. This can be done, for instance, by repeatedly bending the spoon at the desired spot, until the metal cracks and weakens. One other method is to grip together two halves of an already-broken spoon, and then slowly relax the grip - giving the impression the spoon is bending in the middle before finally splitting into two halves.

Look into a product called Alumaloy. It's like welding that you can do with an ordinary propane torch. They claim its stronger than steel and will bond to any kind of metal.

There should be a pop out snap button on the right side about 18 inches or so down. pop that out and use a quarter inch rod about 10 inches long and slowly go in horizontally until you touch the spindle shaft. Now hold slight in-ward pressure while slowly turning the spindle/grinding wheel by "HAND ONLY" You should feel the rod fall into one of the spindle locking holes. Use Caution and make sure you turn off your main power before you proceed !! P.S. Try to visually center the spindle with this hole for easier access to the spindle lock holes.

Use the biaxial bending provisions for columns.  If you want to make the math easy, give it a small unit axial load.  You used to have to do this in steel, too.

Remove the "but cap" and trim back the handle to expose the blank and cut it with a hack saw or fine tooth saw so as not to crack the blank. You can go to WWW.mudhole.com they sell fishing rod blanks and stuff to make and build rod
