What did you do to / in your garage / shop today?

Hydrogen Peroxide and UV is also used to whiten old ivory piano keys - but you need to use "industrial strength" peroxide, not the watered down stuff from the drug store.

This is what you use with the Retr0Bright process. It will turn your hands white if you don't wear gloves, and burn your eyes and nostrils if you don't have good ventilation. It's a thick cream so it stays put on the walls. Hairdressers use it too.

The fact that its a cream probably helps. I had to keep a paper towel on top of the keys and spray it with the sprayer with the liquid peroxide in it every couple of hours. And yea, it took about 2 days per run, I think I did 10-12 keys at a time.
 
It does look good. I found myself scrolling up to see where you lived in case it was close by! BTW what are these handle looking things? Is that how you get pulled pork?

The are called bear claws, thats what I use to separate and shred/pull the meat when it's still to hot to hand pull.

These are one of my favorite kitchen tools. I got a set that are stainless claws with nylon handles. They make shredding chicken, roast, or anything else take a fraction of the time it used to take me.

Edit: These aren't the exact ones I have, but similar.
 
Done, started with 30lbs of meat and ended with 16lbs not bad.View attachment 708827

Here is a shot of the pan and a butt.

Hate to say it but it's pretty dang good!!!!!!!

Hey John, please don't 'hate' to say it. That is all you and you could be laughing at all of us that want a sandwich.
I make my own crock pot Chile Verde from those pork logs that we get from Costco. Burritos for days.
Next out of the freezer is some home made spaghetti sauce.

We smoke a lot of shoulders for parties and such, people love it and I can’t think of a cheaper way to feed a lot of people. That being said, after the daughter’s graduation and shredding 5 shoulders with claws I bought one of these. I can now have a shoulder shredded in less than a minute.

I may need to grab one of those for the few occasions I do large batches of meat. For most of my cooking, the claws are perfect. But that could have saved me LOTS of time & effort on multiple occasions.
