Today was any better?
Yes, I should think so..., but only just better...
It all started from a piece of one of my templates. It looked strange...
Yes, I wanted to go back to my favourite SPs. The one I picked up
was not that familiar to me.
A precursor to this is this. Only a few days ago, I used one
of those SPs for my personal use, and I found it splendid,
with a deep cavity.
You must be reminded that even with a template you are
likely to produce variants and that is inevitable...
It must have been one of those variants I picked up.
The side profile template I picked up this morning
had such a deep cavity profile. Just why it was there, I do not
even know.
Above photo is indicative of my discovery ? this morning.
One at the top is not a template, but the one fabricated fom
such a template, with a very shallow cavity.
One in the middle is the template I am talking about
right now. It is pretty obvious that the end products
will have very deep cavities. One at the bottom is
just a top profile template.
Above are the end results of today's work. You have seen
these before, of course, and a lot more on display. However,
there is a difference.
If you fabricate as many as 20, 30 of these in a single day
you cannot get them to the coating ready stage. Well, these are,
because I only worked with six of these today.
Above?, well ...
I was sitting there in my workshop, for a good measure of time,
not knowing what to do for today. One thing I decided, though, was
I should disassemble the lathe setup, and put the whole thing
back to its usual configuration. I even removed the endmill
from my milling machine, but just before that I made one
small jig.
A chopstic is set agaist it in this photo. It is a 5 mm
jig for eating pretty in quiet office corners. The other
jig is for those 190 mm chopstics for eating out.
So, what is next? Tommorrow, there will be no
logging, as I will have to go to another of our house
in Musashino-shi, in Tokyo, for a regular maintenance
work. There will not be loggig, either, on 20th and beyond,
for a considarable period of time, as I will be
staying at our mountain cottage in Yatsugatake.
All, away from the heat!
