First thing in the morning I took my wife to her
regular gathering with friends in Kamakura.
The rest of today was spent mainly on 8 spoons,
plus one bean curd smasher, and cutting out
pieces for the eventual brush hunger.
I took hots of those, but, somehow my system is
not taking my orders and resuses to transfer
those images to my hard disk...
So, I start with what follows.
This is how my mind is developping at the moment,
after the brain storiming session a few days ago.
Unfortunately, however, the main schematic B is
no longer in tune with what I drew a few minutes
ago. So, I go verbally from now.
Up until now, the starng thickness of the pieces
was 15 mm, and I now want to switch to 10 mm,
saving a lot of material.
Also, up until now I made 5 mm depth holes and
5 mm deep trenches to accommodate the plate prings.
Now, I just want to fix the plate prings
without making trenches.
This idea is shown as schematic B above. Naturally,
I want to over up the exposed plate spring and the
nuts fixing them to the handle.
The shaded red block is the cover and there is a
hidden trench in its upper portion, in order
to accommodate the protrusion, by the plate and
mini bolts and nuts. This would be so much easier to
work on. Any discontinuities arising from bonding
the cover can be sanded won, fairly easily.
Spoons' outer shape is ready and tommorrow I will
be creating concaves surfaces in all of them.
I will then be making the 1st coating on them on Saturday...
Sunday is likely to be taken up by BBQ, and no
logging is expected.
