All today, after taking my wife to her regular's I was
working flat out on the portable boots holders.
After all, the delivery is due tommorrow afternoon at
the department store. A little bit blurred what follows
is the outcome, all 12 of them.
You may think it is a monotonous job, but it isn't.
Yesterday's idea of square falt pieces stuck together
before external shapes are formed did work.
I went jigsaw with the first few pieces. Problems with
jigswaing them are a few holds. It is a slow process,
because you are trying to cut two pieces at the same time.
Added to it, you tend to leave jagged cut lines, which
you can sand down easily later, but so much the better
if you had smooth cut lines in the first place.
See below.
Those on the right had been jigsawn, and those on the
left bandsawn, see the difference? It is a small discovery, but I feel that these incremental discoveries will go a long way
towards increased productivity. You may laugh at the idea,
but even in a small business like mine it does count,
b- hell!
Shown below is one I borrowed from the department
store for reference. It is a commercially
available version nd will fetch something like
5 times of the price that I charge on deliery.
Can you top that!!!
Anyway, what is shown below is one of my ideas
put into semi-practice.
This is just one of my attempts to avoid shearing of
member pieces while solidification, with pieces
mechanically tightened with a screw.
In reality, I need a much wider bedand I am thinking
about it. One way of appying pressure might be
make use of gravity.
And, that led to the following schemetics.
Here, A is just one idea of achieving a sufficiently wide bed,
with long bolts. Stacking with gravity led naturally to B.
Here, you have two differently coloured flat pieces.
You stack them with gravity and cut the resultant along
the whit lines.
You will then have a slab like C. I think this is a brilliant idea,
because you will have pattern emerging, which is
difficult to vidualise.
What will emerge will depend on the cutting angles in B.
Will I ever do that? I am not sure...
