Today really started with this bellow, I think,
then I had to take my wife to the centre of
Kamakura...
With what is shown above, I think they will be
all connected by mini nuts and bolts by close of
the day after tommorrow...
It is exciting to see...
Above?, just as I illusated yesterday. I have not made
fresh pieces, and they are the ends of a single container
member. I think I should construct those with short
holders... They would look much better, in the end.
What will they be looking like?, mini shovels?
I think they will be...
Today, I looked arouund in my workshop, and found
so many of redundant pieces looking suitable for those.
It is just so amazing that I was about to throw them away!
The bulk of my time this afternoon was spent on these above.
What initially appeared to be an easy job turned out
to be a nightmare!
And, I should have known it! This block of wild cheery was
very slow in cutting, and I was simply assuming that
the sheer thickness of it was the reason.
Well, it was not! It is so damn hard! When normally
I can fabricate 10 pairs of chopstics, I only ended up with 4!
And, they are not yet complete! Just amazing how hard
the wild cherry is! In a way, though, it is good, because
that is how I might spend time for the next few days.
The one sitting across the rest of chopstics to be
is all but square in cross section, yet to be rounded.
You may notice that these are not paired. This is
deliberate, because their lengths are slightly
different, and their textures and colours, too.
The one on the extreme right is the (chopstics
dimension) jig. It has been made out from a failed
and therefore redundant tong member.
I have got those above, still to be coated, and those
tongs now dryig in the coating shed. And, on top of those
I still have about 50 items to go mat!
On occasions I get pessmistic, because I cannot think
of things to do for the day, but it now appears
I have a lot...
Wild cherry chopstics look fantastic! The sheer texture
is so lovely, and it makes me think I should have done this
before!
