Generously salt and pepper both sides of your pork loin steaks. You could also sprinkle them with: Ground fennel Garlic powder Onion powder Ground cumin Cover a baking or roasting pan with foil so that it's easier to clean up. Set the seasoned pork loin steaks on the foil and place the pan under the broiler. Broil the steaks for 6 to 8 minutes. Keep in mind that thinner steaks will cook quicker while thicker steaks may take longer. If your steaks are more than 112in (3.8cm) thick, consider broiling them 4 to 5in (10 to 13cm) away from the heat source. This will prevent the outside from burning before the inside has a chance to cook. Carefully use tongs to flip the pork loin steaks over on the baking pan. Place the steaks back under the broiler and continue to broil them for another 6 to 8 minutes or until the steaks are golden brown. Remember to wear oven mitts and use caution when pulling the baking pan out of the oven. Once the pork loin steaks have browned on both sides, remove the pan and check the internal temperature of the steaks. The steaks should be between 145 and 160F (63 and 71C) before you let them rest. Let them rest for 5 minutes before you serve them. Resting the steaks helps relax the muscle so the juices evenly distribute.

SUMMARY: Turn on the broiler and season the pork loin steaks. Broil the first side of the steaks. Turn the steaks and broil the bottom sides. Rest the steaks before you serve them.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Although the resin is hard, it isn't completely dried yet. Don't touch the plastic covering or the cracked area while it cures. Let it sit undisturbed for at least 6-12 hours before removing the plastic wrap. Some resins require air to set. Check the directions on the packaging, and if necessary, remove the plastic wrap before letting it cure. Start sanding with a rough grit sandpaper to remove larger bumps and imperfections in the resin. Then, switch to a finer grit to smooth the resin to match the board. Once the resin is smooth, wipe away the debris and make sure the edges of the resin are flush with the rest of the board. You may need to sand the edges of the resin a bit more to ensure that it lays flat against the board and isn't wavy or bumpy. Be careful not to over-sand with the rough grit sandpaper. Once the major bumps are flattened, switch to a smooth grit to prevent divots from forming in the resin. If you're worried about your board cracking in the same place, cut a sheet of fiberglass in a circle slightly larger than the crack, and cover the crack with the sheet. Then, use a brush to apply a thin layer of resin over the fiberglass sheet. If you have a long crack in your board, cut a few smaller circles and line them up along the crack to cover the entire length. Once the resin has cured overnight, use a fine grit sandpaper to smooth the resin overtop of the fiberglass. Continue sanding until the resin is smooth with the surface of the board. Only use fine grit sandpaper over the fiberglass. A rougher grit may remove too much resin and could expose part of the fiberglass.

SUMMARY: Let the resin dry completely overnight. Sand off excess resin until it is flush with the board. Add a layer of fiberglass and resin for added strength. Cure and sand the resin again if you added a fiberglass layer.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use plywood, particle board, or MDF to create a base for the scratching post. Buy a piece that's 2 ft by 4 ft by in (.61 m by 1.2 m by 1.27 cm) or cut it to the correct measurements using a table saw. Exercise caution when cutting to ensure no one gets hurt. Try to pick a natural, non-treated wood. Avoid wood treated with chemicals, as these may be harmful to cats. Your carpet should be at least 3 ft (.92 m) by 5 ft (1.5 m) to ensure you have enough to wrap around the base and staple it tightly. Use an X-acto knife and a ruler to ensure you have a neat, straight line. Choose a stiff carpet, such as Berber, for a longer lasting post. Flip the carpet upside down and lay the base in the middle of the carpet. Draw a line straight out from each side of the base to the end of the carpet so you have squares extending from the corners. Draw a straight line in (1.9 cm) from the corner of the base that intersects the squares you made. Cut across the straight line first, then cut along the lines you made extending from the corners. Staple the carpet to the bottom of the base on one side, putting staples in every 2 in (5 cm) using a inch (1.3 cm) crown stapler. Pull the carpet tight and staple it on the bottom of the opposite side, putting staples in every 2 in (5 cm). Repeat on the remaining two sides, making sure to staple all the way to edge so your corners are flush.

SUMMARY:
Cut or buy the base wood. Cut the base carpet to size. Cut notches for the corners. Cover the base in carpet.
