I had usual chores this morning. I then ponderd over
what I might usefully do before lunch.
What follows was the answer. After all, it takes a long time
before these bootsholders-to be take their final shape.
There was a slight problem, however. Free ends of these
were crumped down OK, and lateral pressure was exerted OK,
but that meant that an arch (very small) was formed along the
laterally pressurised end.
Above was my emergency measure, two bricks to press down on
the arch. It was working OK when I had a last look. I will have
to come up with a neater solution, though...
Here aboveI am at long last on to the real situation,
a combination of what I call "black and white walnuts"
Since the relative weight of the black walnut is something like
0.6 I deliberately made the thickness of the side pieces
thicker than usual.
One on the lower right is my attempt to ctreate a template
for the arch in the handle. This was not very useful. It is
much quicker to use a real one, and I intend to keep that one
as such, i.e., a real version template...
My long awaited Broneo iron wood arrived today. I am very unhappy about this. It has, and I do not know what in the language, a whitish part all
along the wood. I will have to be choosy which part to use.
In the meantime, some more of these were made to their almost
final stage of completion.
Above, really, is the day's reward. Three beasts in stead
of two from yesterday. Today, I had an oder for three pairs
of chopsticks for kids.
Beasts will be coated when chopsticks are ready, along with
some others. I am, after all, being fairly busy!,
am I not?
Alas, though, I will be once again at our mountain cottage
in order to oversee some professional works in the garden.
My log will be stopped for a few days from this coming Sunday.
