At the time of writing this I am a happy man...
Today, I had all the time to myself and did a few things
I should have done earlier in addition to the normal
line of work.
Specifically, I did my paint work at long last! see bewlo a series of
photos.
This large piece above will be used as my work area.
My small mobile bench was also painted and in fact the larger
bed above could go on top of this one.
My stable doors were also freshly painted. Why stable dooors?
My workshop door consists of two doors, up and down. This is because
doors are so thick and heavy, and normal hinges cannot
take them both in one go.
Above is my show-window to have been... My wife does not allow me
to display my works in here, fearing that she might be innundated with
enquiries...
Christmas decoration has been abiding by the time...
I will light it up some time in mid Novemver. Now, here on follow
my work today on self-supporting butter knives, but
I did do other owrks, such as coating, sanding of bootsholders,
shaping of pre-prototype butter knives, etc, etc...
Som it has been a fruitul day, really...
Now, below... This is the shape I formed today. I call this my "turtle",
looking like one, no?
There is a dire problem with this one. It is self-supporting enough and the centre of gravity is, I should imagine, well behind its chest.
Notwithstanding, though, it is awfully difficult to use this
as a butter knife, as it held in your hand as it stands on
the table. However, if you flip the whole thing through
90 degrees, then it does what it is supposed to do.
That is, putting your butter on top of its head does...
Now, take a look at these schematics. My original idea was
A, the butter putting face as far as possible from the
table surface.
However, today's experiment is telling me that B is far better!
This is outrageus! I wanted a maximum separation! and yet
my experiment is demanding the other way round...
I think of two things. What is wrong with flipping the whole thing
when it is picked up...
Secondly, ... well, it is a protoype, after all, and it is
gratifying to know something is wrong at this early stage.
At least, I have something concrete to think about
What follows are for comparative viewing of these
prototypes, their side view and top (bottom?) view for your
information.
I know, though, I am probably very close to it...
An aethetically viable and practical butter putting tool
of my own design!
