Heat eats into your work, it really does...
I meant to do things, but I was being lethargic.
Today, I wanted to do something that does not
require musles.
What follows is the result.
What you are really looking at are the lids.
The lids for the trenches. Today' work started, though,
with shortening of the mini bolts.
It took a lot of time...a lot...
But then, you cannnot avoid it, because to have
lids in place you have to have sufficient depth...
Once that piece of work was over, I was naturally very
tempted to create the lids, which took up a lot of
time, again. All of the lids were sanded down
in order to fit into individual treches, which were
of differing lengths! I think I will have to do
something revolutionary, if I am to continue with
the tong project...
Anyway those little pieces, here and there, are those,
and in order to ensure specificity they are all placed
around the mother tongs.
One of them, though, refuesd to accept the lids, as shown
bellow, not enough trench depth... I think I will use
this at home.
I still had some time left before closing the day
I went for chopstics, see bellow?
Progress is slow and this is because of my mistake
in selecting the right jig. See bellow.
With almost all of my work the starting point is the line
drawing, those reference lines along which your work is
cut by the bandsaw. The blue L shaped object is the jig
With the current lot of wild cherry, I used a larger L
as shown as B2, where, I should have used B1, and I am
having to remove extra thickness!
What is bellow? I may have shown them before, but, these
are my coating brushes. Commercially available brushes are
expensive, in view of the frequency of my coating.
At the top of what follows is the schematic, a single
chopstic, wrapped with with a piece of cotton (blue), fixed with
a rubber band (yellow).
Today, I came up with an idea, shown above as B and C. We talk about
tea spoons, fine, but those tea spoons are not exactly
used for scraping tea leaves. In fact, I believe they
are not even used wit the actual tea cups. So, what
I am proosing is a tea spoon like muddler of the shape
as shown here.
B the top profile, C the dead on profile...
They will be easy to make...
Now, above, grippers. The real issue here is this. I wear
disposable gloves for my coating work. They come at
JPY 1,000 for 100. Again, the frequency of my coating
is the problem. If I am to use a fresh pair each time
I coat that will be a lot of money. What if I replace the yellow
pieces with wooden pieces?
I think I will go for that! I do not need very firm gripps,
anyway...
