Well..., with rain and clouds and all that you may
think it has been a dull day despite it being Sunday.
It may well look that way, given those (dull?) images below,
but to my mind it was not, with so many things I need to
get done. To put it in a nutshell I have been busy.
Let us take a look at the first.
These are all oak pieces, cut to the size I want, all
52 of them. Granted there are undulations on their surfaces, but nonetheless they form the core (literally) of my next butch.
Yes, these are the centre pieces of my butter knives. I will
need to make at least hapf of the length as flat as possible
so that side bars can be cemented bang on. That is for tommorrow.
With any luck I might find some redundant materials for the
egg placers and my fork-kinfe minies. Fork-knife thing is new
to the furniture factory, and to a lessor extent those
egg holers. I made oval shaped holders for them, but from now on
I will insist on squares. Oh, not for the ease of fabication,
for God's sake! Square shaped objects are a lot easier to stack,
that is why...
I already probably did talk about my newly arrived
Borneo iron wood. As you can see most of the surfaces
look whitish, not the part I want to use.
These whitish parts are so soft and do not warrant
my energy and time. What would you do then? Yes, cut
them into pieces and discard faulty ones.
These pieces are more or less OK with me. I need to cut them
into shorter pieces, of course, so that they can be
fixed to the knife stems.
Some, as above, have been cut. Even these are not even and
I will need to use my belt sander to make them as flat as
I can.
It will be a few days before all these components are
ready and cemented for further work. I do look for the
time I can spend shaping them into their finalities...
A couple of other things I need to do soon include
further purchase of Borneo iron wood from a nearby
DIY shop, Coating of my wood deck, chopping of
tires into manageable pieces, destruction of car
batteries so that I can mould the lead contents inside
for recycling purposes, chopping off some of the trees
in the garden in time for the new year.
Also, setting up my X'mass illumination and above all
and most urgently completion and delivery of bootsholders
to the department store.
I think I am busy, I really do!
