Today started with the coating, C3, and after that
I had some paper work to do and dashed to the town
office for some certifying documents.
All is now set for posting of the documents, tommorrow.
As a result, the time I could spend on my artstic ?
activities was very limited. In addition, I dare say
that I do not know what I am trying to achieve!
Take a look at this image, a bit blurred.
These are my renewed attempt at the chopstick containers.
They are not rounded at any of the sharper edges and corners.
This makes me think. Chopsticks are placed, pararell, in one
of the trenches. They are, altogether, not protruding from the
trench.
Then, why the hell do I need another trench shown by the
side of it? Can I not use a plain closer?, with magnets,
of course at both ends?
Better still, do I really need magnets?, which are
costly, anyway. Can I not clip out pieces from a Velcro and use them
instead?
I am attracted to this idea, because, the magnetic attraction
is only 0.15KG in force, good enough, but Velcro would be much
stronger. Of course, I will need a disk, or a square protrusion,
but, they are easy to form, anyway.
This is where in fact, I have this nagging thought. It is
a fundamental question. Do we at all need containers?
Girls wanting to eat pretty in office corners
must be bringing theirs wrapped up by something handy.
Why can they not have chopsticks in the gap spaces?
After all, with the URL of yesterday they are talking about
wrapping of the chopstics with a piece of cloth, which, to me,
is a messy business.
Girls do want to eat pretty and smart, fine, and that
means no rattling of chopsticks in the hard containers.
With yesterday's test tube containers, rattling was
not a problem. Actually, with mine of today, rattling
is not there, bacause of the contact between them.
It was not intentional, but, if you go for that sort of thing,
you need precision engineering! Do I want that?
Now, take a look at the following illustration.
B is the Velcro pieces on top of each other, and I am
asking myself if the pointed ends of my chopsticks might
just about squeeze into the gap. It is a thought, and
can only be verified in an experiment. Another thought of
mine is reflected in C. The whole thing about my
current attempts is that the end results are just too large and bulky.
With C, the rattling will not be there. On the other ahnd,
chopstics are exposed, so what, I may say. An advantage might
be that the dip there might serve as a chopstics holder.
D is the Velcro piece seen from above. What do you thinnk?
Anyway, another of today's activities was to come up with an
additional tool for removing polyps (or, blips) from my
SP like objects.
If they are found to have formed on the +ve curvature
side that is not a big issue. I can use straight and
sharp edges to remove them.
If, however, they are found deep on the concave surface,
I have to struggle. In doing that I might damage
the peripherals, with the straight edges.I need something else!
Take a look at the following pic.
This is the tool dentists use for removing dental plaques.
I bought this for something else, and for that something
else, I deliberately unsharpend the edges. I do not
rmember what I had in mind. Anyway, the edges were resharpened,
with the diamond disk.
However, that was not good enough. Illustration's A is
showing the cross-section of the useful end of it.
It is basically a triangle, for its structural strength.
I need to remove this ridge in the middle, tommorrow.
With the ridge as it is, I need to incline the
whole tool too much to my liking. It is not functioning as
as a very small knife, at all! not just yet!
