Warped Titora
I would like to hear some good eitzahs from the olam on fixing a warped titora tachtona (that is bending downwards) of pshutim mehudarim?
Thank you
How about the Bais of Uleovdo?

Ink, Kosher vs. non-Kosher
We all know that there is no ancient source that requires ink to be מן המותר בפיך . Possibly, as said here before, because in the olden days ink was always מן המותר בפיך and the question was never raised. It was probably self-evident. Nowadays, no decent Rav will approve an ink which is not מן המותר בפיך . Who was the first one to raise this question? Was it raised because of animal ingredients or because of non-kosher wine?
Question to Yosef Chaim B
Thank you for commenting on my ink article. In your comment you stated: "Many poskim disagree... Many rishonim have clearly stated the use of our ingredients." Would you please be kind enough to teach us (so I can include it in the article) which Poskim and what exactly and where did they say that the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן that does not fail? We are not interested in biased פילפולים , or in those who said that דיו עשן is not being used because it fails easily or because it was not known how to make good quality דיו עשן.

We are interested to find out where and who (if any) said explicitly, based on sources, that the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן , even when there is דיו עשן of good quality that does not ...
just use plyers and bend back into shape
ReplyDeletefor gassos it is harder, you need to use presses
there is a chemical called shoestretch found at shoe repair stores.
Deleteyou spray some on to soften the leather then place it clamped between two pieces of wood that fit for 10 hours it should be flat.
for gassos i clamp it between two metal plates for 24 hours but I make it wet first to soften it
ReplyDeletePliers almost always does the trick for peshutim/mehudarim. Just be careful not to crack or break the titura. As mentioned, gasos is another matter and care must be taken since the pressure placed on the titura when clamping it can cause the bayis shel rosh to split open at the top.
