Boil 2 cups water, dissolve half cup sugar, juice enough limes for 3/4 cup of juice or so, throw a few strips of rind in there and simmer it a few minutes then strain the rind out, cool it to room temp and pour it into molds.

isn't allowing me to post one of the gages i've did the jig grinding for:
we are in my workfield now:
Gages, Fixtures & Prototype Parts Build, complete or partial Repair Hold Close Tolerances Complete Part Inspection Fabricate, from sketch or verbal instructions Modify or Alter to customer's request To 80 millionths accuracy Electronic File Transfer
1) trigonometry (we use the triangle and work off of the Right Angle)
2) Metallurgy to understand the density of the metal to know how fast you can use a cutter (end mill made of high speed steel, or carbon, or possibly with diamond plated, could be a ceramic end mill...just so many and each uses a different speed per the type of material)
3) need to understand x-y-z (x = left to right or right to left)(y = front to back or back to front)(z = up and down)
4) need to know GD&T = everything you see on a BLUEPRINT is defined by GD&T
5) Machinist Handbooks are really the BIBLE of the Machine Shop so penny up and buy the recent $150 dollar version
6) need to know what Tolerances mean
7) need to understand the ZERO Scale that numbers run both on the Positive and Negative sides.
8) need to know what a standard Mill, Lathe, Grinder are and you will need 8,000 hours on all Machines to be qualified for your JOURNEYMAN'S CARD!!
9) find a position for Apprenticeship that will make you take classes at a Technical University.
10) THERE WILL NEVER BE A DUMB QUESTION SO ASK IT INSTEAD OF WRECKING MY MACHINE EQUIPMENT!!
there are so many more things to list, but after 20 years doing this that 10 things to consider about the Machine Shop Environment just flew off the top of my noggin..

Trump declared Wednesday that the U.S. is building a border wall in Colorado despite the fact that the Western state does not sit on the U.S-Mexico border.
"You know why we're going to win New Mexico? Because they want safety on their border. And they didn't have it," Trump said during a speech at the Shale Insight conference in Pittsburgh.
"And we’re building a wall on the border of New Mexico," he continued. "And we’re building a wall in Colorado. We’re building a beautiful wall, a big one that really works that you can’t get over, you can’t get under."
He added, "And we’re building a wall in Texas. And we’re not building a wall in Kansas, but they get the benefit of the walls we just mentioned. And Louisiana’s incredible.”
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis
Well this is awkward…Colorado doesn’t border Mexico,” Polis wrote on Facebook after the apparent misstatement by Trump.
“Good thing Colorado now offers free full day kindergarten so our kids can learn basic geography,” he added.

This is an oldschool profession and is being replaced with CNC machining in the U.S. Just so you know. Lots of machinists are salty that they are losing their worth on the job market right now.
CNC will never replace machinists. the most precise CNC machine in existence still needs its products eyeballed by a human with some sort of precision measuring device and ability to correct the frequent mistakes they make.
that...and small quantity production or even one-off/prototype will require a machinist who will work with manual tools or program the machines.

"The first cigarette of the morning is the best," Wren said. "That's the one that wakes you up. It's the only cigarette that matters."
"Well..." Sudo paused to take a puff. "What about the second and third cigarette? Those are pretty good too. And the last one's not bad either."
"Oh the last one's the worst."
"The worst?" Sudo questioned.
"The worst," he reiterated. "The last cigarette of the day is truly a dreaded thing. It's the tired cap to yet another night on this awful fucking planet. But the first? The first cigarette has hope. You can step outside and think of things like: 'Maybe it'll get better today. Maybe today I'll quit smoking. Maybe today I'll meet the girl of my dreams'. The last cigarette has no maybes. It's cold and dark and depressing, and there's no hope of quitting with it. There's no hope of anything."
"Yeah, okay," Sudo said. His face flickered with orange as Wren struggled to light another cigarette. They had been smoking all night.
"The second is alright though. Third one too. It's just that last one I don't like." Wren stared down at the floor. A cat meowed in the distance. "Hey, can you pass me another beer?"
"Sure."
The two sat for some time, contemplating which cigarette of the night would be their last. Wren hoped to at least get another five in.
"Hey I think it's happening," Sudo said. "Look."
Wren half-sat out of his chair, glancing briefly at the sky beyond the window. "Oh yeah, it's happening alright. Pass me the lighter would you?"
"How long do you think it's going to take?"
"I don't know."
"Really though, how long?" Sudo asked. "An hour, two?" The sky was quickly turning to a vibrant yellow. Wren stood up to close the curtain.
"I think less than that. Maybe just a few more lines of dialogue. I was watching the news this morning and they said it could be a matter of seconds."
"Oh. Okay." The thought of having a beer passed briefly through Sudo's head, but he had already decided that he wouldn't. It was best to stay in Allah's good graces during these final moments.
"So is there anything you want to talk about? Anything at all?" Sudo wiped the sweat from his brow. The room was getting hotter.
"No," Wren said, taking a long pull from his diminishing cigarette. "I think this is it though."
"Is it?"
"Yeah," he said, scratching at his beard. "Well, no. One more. I'll have one more. You have that lighter again?"
"Sure man. Anything." Sudo handed over the lighter, wishing it was a BIC. Why hadn't they gotten a BIC?
Wren cupped his hands over the faithful stick and took a drag, making the room glow orange for the last time, as they drifted slowly, but surely, into the sun.
