It was very warm, but I did the coating of
the current lot. Could not help it despite the
heat, simply because all others are lining up
in the queue!
Soon after that I took my wife to the station,
and went on to a DIY shop to buy brass pieces.
Out of which emerged the spring mechanism for
the tongs. See bellow.
Just so nicely vent, but there are subtle issues here.
Put simply, where exactly is the centre of the vend...
You obviously need fine tunings... when fixing the thing
to your tongs.
In what follows, the same piece (the spring element) is
placed on top of yesterday's tong. See the difference?
My brush hanger parts are drying after the second coating
of natural resin... I will probably coat them 5 times.
What is shown bellow are the redundant pieces
in storage. They are all birches. I will be
working on them, turing them into small things.
They are lovely, hard enough. I think I love them most,
of all those materials I have been working with.
Today's main concern of mine was this. In order to
fabricate those tongs I am mad about at the moment
I need to quantify the dimensions.
In addition, I wanted to make one final? version
for my family. This is really a precision work.
See? I have to go down to one tenth of a millimeter!
Please ignore A, and in any case B is the main thing.
The blue bar here above is the groove depth, and the
vertical bars at the bottom are the hole depth.
The horizontal red bar refers to the brass spring.
Green objects are the profiles of the nuts and bolts.
The issue here is this. What kind of thickness of the
material do I want? Am I going to cover up the
recess for the brass and the nuts and bolts?
If so, what should be the starting thickness? These
schematics, together with the vernier scale seen
above are of great help in formulating the overall
strategy and procedural constants.
Yesterday's tong, I showd it to my wife for her
preliminary comments. She did not like the rectangular
trenches, saying that washing will be messy.
So, I now plan to use a triangular bit, as shown
bellow.
I am doing my best to expalin things with pictures,
and my assumption is that not all those who care to
take a look at my loggings do not always know
what the hell I am talking about. Oh, by the way,
because I am trying to make a tong for my family use
I have singled out cherry. I just love them!
Yes, I am aware that I have not yet come around to
turning! I will do that soon...
