Pizza oven thread

Probably one of the best Youtube channels in existence. I know it's not as "organic" and "this is my real life" as it appears, but it's still a relaxing look in to a pretty fascinating world. I always jived with it because I just love doing so many things the "hard" or "old" way when it comes to food and drink.
I’m not sure if I’m understanding the question but I’ll try.
I have two peels: 1 wooden roughly 12-14” in diameter and about 3 feet long. That’s for building and putting the pizza in the oven. And 1 metal one about 10-12” round diameter and 5’ long and that’s for turning and removing from the oven
That answers my question. That's a "turning peel" and you also use it for removal, which makes sense to me.
Yeah, even though my metal peel (turning/removal) is significantly smaller and diameter than my pizza, it doesn’t flop off because the crust gets rigid in the oven

I personally have 2 peels and want more! But the two categories that I know of are the launching peel and turning peel. I have one of each. Turning peel benefit is to turn the pizza while keeping it in the oven. The launching peel can theoretically be used to rotate your pizza, but depending on the size of the oven, you would need to pull it all the way out and use your hands to rotate. I bought both peels on amazon for about $15/each. Screws usually come loose but a little Lock-Tite solved that issue. Turning peel is money when it comes to rotating.

I have been using my metal peel for both turning and removing. In the future I will probably pick up a turning peel, but what I have is working for me at the moment.

Ran across this today. That's dedication to pizza
Nice saw. Rental? Glad I won’t be listening to it.
Nope, it belongs to @mcswny . It's been here at my place since last summer.
My fingers are raw
don't refuse the gloves next time!
Wrap your fingertips with sport tape, afterwards rub some Bag Balm into your hands,
Dude mortar will totally thrash your hands, it’s a chemical thing not just the abrasion, which doesn’t help. If they’re really really bad, you can slather them with petroleum jelly and into nitrile gloves overnight. It will help. Also bag balm like @iggie says or “Working hands” cream.
They're really not that bad, it was mostly just from them being so damn cold.
Im going fishing tomorrow, so I hope they're actually thrashed after that
