Kp, one tablespoon is correct.  This is a large batch of caramels and the cream tends to mute the salt, so it takes a good amount to get the salted caramel flavor I&#039;m after.  If you want to cut back, of course you can, and if you find yourself wanting more salt later, you can always sprinkle some on the finished caramels.  Skip to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6loEeypqF4&#038;t=111s&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow ugc&quot;&gt;1:51 minute mark in my full tutorial video&lt;/a&gt; to see me run through the ingredients.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This was SUCH an amazing resource as a teenager from Australia creating my &#039;muck up day&#039; uniform by altering my school uniform with fun fabrics for our last ever day of high school! The fact that this tutorial was written when I was one year old, and still is just as helpful back then is incredible! The calculator and photo instructions were amazing, if anyone&#039;s still listening... THANK YOU!!]]></description>

Jenny, I&#039;m glad to hear you enjoyed this project build!  The basket is a clever idea.  It doesn&#039;t interfere with the game folding up?  P.S. I hope you checked our all our &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.chicaandjo.com/?s=survivor&quot; rel=&quot;ugc&quot;&gt;Survivor posts&lt;/a&gt; as well!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Just finished building this with my husband.  Works great.  We made a minor change - at the top hole we added a basket to catch the ball.  We will be using this for a survivor themed birthday party this weekend!  Thanks for taking the time to document how to do this.]]></description>

Holly, I&#039;m so glad to hear you enjoyed making this Plinko board with our plans!  Your ideas for additional hardware are great.  For the carrying handle, you can choose any style you like, just be sure that the screw or bolt that attaches it to the wood is secure enough to support the weight of the full game as you carry it.  As for locking the legs down during transport (another great idea!) you could use something as simple as a &lt;a href=&quot;https://shoplowes.me/4AMMQvM&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow ugc&quot;&gt;hook and eye latch&lt;/a&gt; or even a &lt;a href=&quot;https://shoplowes.me/4ehr0H9&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow ugc&quot;&gt;swivel hasp&lt;/a&gt; which also has the benefit of being able to lock in place with a padlock or carabiner.  Hope that helps!  Let me know how it goes.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We made this and it&#039;s so cool! We wanted to add two little things to it, and I since we&#039;re not really woodworkers, I wondered about your thoughts on these. We were hoping to add a handle to on of the sides, so when folded, we could carry it horizontally. And then, to make that easier, we wanted to put a little latch or locking mechanism or something on the back to keep the back stand from swinging out in transit or storage. Any ideas on what we should look for or if those ideas would work? I was just thinking like the door or drawer handles they have at home depot/lowes, but I&#039;m not sure about the latch. We just need probably a thin metal piece we can swing in front of the back piece when it&#039;s folded up, and then swing up or down to allow it to open, but I don&#039;t even know what I&#039;d be searching for.
Thank you for the plans and the excellent tutorial video! We&#039;re really excited to use this!]]></description>
