I tried it out...
You can see that the stirring portion is wet from
fermented beans. I have a mixed view about this.
It does eventually what it is supposed to do, but the very
initial feel you get as you insert the thing
into the bean pot is that something is lacking.
It is the lack of mass movement of the beans. Contact
free element is OK, as you can see from this image.
I will amplify on this later with a schematic.
I had to take my wife to her regular and then I went on
to the department store for delivery, then further on to
the shop girl's flatfor another delivery.
So, yet again I did not have a lot of time. The most
important gain was these small two pronged forcs.
They are only just yet halfway to completion, but
I encountered a small problem. More on this with
the schematic
One of the by-products of these forcs-to-be was that
I was left with 4 thin pieces, long enough to be
chopstics. I have been wanting to, for such a long
time by now, to make oak chopstics. I really love oak
texture! They are at 21cm and 23cm respectively.
The very last image of today concerns the longer pair.
You can see the thickness jig, the black thing there.
Jig is painted black, because these small things often
go astray and unless painted prominently it gets
awfully difficult to find them from amongst all
other pieces in my workshop.
Anyway, on to the schematics. With the beans thing
what you could do with might be a small, not a large
fin (or a paddle), or spatula at its smallest.
With my current tool the stirring bar simply
walks into the beans. You do not get a lot of resistance,
and it is this suttle feeling of being met
with some reluctance on the part of the beans, which is
normally associated with this noble task of morning
rituals. I will make another prototype, tomorrow...
Alternatively, I could make the cross section of the bar
into something like as shown with B. I have seen
this before, somewhere...
Yes, it is the honey thing! I might try this, too...
Anyway, what upset me slightly today was the medium sized
two pronged forcs. My intention was to add side bars
to the handle. Alas!, I cannot do it with ease!
The handle part is vent! You cannot easily stick
bars there, unles the handle is flat and straight!
Trying to follow individual curvatures will be a
nightmare. If I am to realise what I want I will have
to re-design the whole thing from scratch...
Actually, I might do just that. Eventual curvatures
to be accommodated within the flat handle end+ the bars...
