I have had a busy day...
By the way I realise that there are frequent mis-spellings
with my texts. Can't help it... I only have halh an hour or so
to finish off the day with those.
I do not really want to go back to them and
have a look myself to make them tidier. People do that
regularly, I suppose, if you are, for instance,
making speeches...
My other things should be without faults. They can be
accessed by reversing the log order. They are all
clustered at the right start of this particular web log.
Anyway, today started with coating as usual. It is
pleasing to see the build up of my coatings.
Below? I cut out two pieces from my Borneo iron wood
so that I can use my bandsaw to slice them further into
side bars for my butter knives.
I then moved on to making existing pieces as flat as
I can. Two images below bear that out.
What next? was my own question and while waiting for
my wife to do the parcel I transcribed my template
onto the next lot as seen below.
I never really got to do anything more with them. All
because I wanted to buy some more of the clumps I use
with my butter knives.
Grey clumnps seen below are the new purchases. In addition,
I bought a pipe clump, which you will see below.
What is below relates to operational constraints,
starting from the clumping dynamics leading to shears.
A is the current arrangement. This schematic is showing you
two discs squeezing the knife. One of these, A1 is fixed and
does no harm.
A2 is the culprit. It is a single disc, pressed inwards
by the rotation of the tightening screw. The problem is
that it is in direct contact with the knife.
As you tighten the screw the torque produced slides
up the side bar as indicated. There is no way
you can counter-balance this dynamical motion,
even by having the same set-up at the other end.
What you really need is to to dicouple the disc
contact from the side bar. This would be very
remotely akin to having an optical coupling
(and de-coupling) component in electronic
circuits.
The schematic B is showing you the way forward.
There is an additional disc, which will act as
a mechanical de-coupling device.
Disc 3 does rotate, but disc 2 does not. It is simply
pressed forward from behind.
Most of serious clumping devices do have these
inherent in their design. What follows, which I bought
this afternoon, is no exception.
I have yet to try this out in practise, but
I am seriously hoping that the shearing problem will vanish
with this device.
This is solidly made and makes use of a sturdy water
pipe. I think I will use this initi th my bootsholders.
