I had a full day, very nearly...
You cannot just go on doing the same thing
day in and day out. So, I tried something new.
Here, below, I am trying to make a series of holes
with my milling machine.
It is all experimental and the material used is
one next to useless, that is, something from
one of those conifer things, I think.
The idea is there, though. This might just become an
egg holder, with the egg held sideways on top of
the thicket of the pegs you see on the right.
These pegs are also left-overs from my earlier work.
Here, pegs are in place. With this mini project I had
foreseen three problems.
1. Peg density
2. Peg positioning
3. Peg resilience to external forces
There is not much I can do wth 1. The base plate is
limited in area, unless I opt for thinner pegs.
Peg positioning was surrisingly easy. No details
here.
The last item on the agenda turned out to be real enough.
Mind you, peg have simply been struck into the holes.
The protrusion above the base plate is kept at 20 mm,
uniform over the area. So, you want a concave made into
the thicket of the pegs.
Use any one of your sanding things and you find that
pegs cannot resist the forces and they are rendered useless.
I will come on to that with the last image for today.
A lot of time was spent on bringing the dinosaurs-to-be to
something akin in appearance to dinosaurs. The point here is
that the population is growing. That is the main thing.
I counted them and there are 25 here. I need to have close to
60 of them, as Chirstmas gifts. It will take a few more days,
boring you to hell with the imagees. My apologies...
Above?, yes, just released from clumping effected yesterday,
ready to be worked on.
With a lot like this in front of me I can do a few things.
Play idle, just keep on smoking, doing nothing, not
wanting to get on with them, just looking at them ...
If you cannot find reasons for not doing anything about them
(because it is going to be a lot of hard work!), then you
resign yourself to your fate and get on with it, like I did today.
So, after a session lasting 90 minutes or so I had these
sitting in front of me...
I must be going mad with dinosaurs, too. I have an additional
lot of them at the far back, also just released from the clump.
I simply remembered that I had three different lots being
clumped for today (or days after...). I rushed up to my
computer room where clumpings take place, and sure enough!
I had another lot!
I hate my life, I really do! My ideal life msut be where I can
create a dozen different things each day. Will I ever have that
pot of luck? I am not sure...
Anyway, have a look at above. Pegs have been pulled out
and replanted into the holes after applying the adhesive
If they can stand up to the sort of forces tommorrow,
I might be feeling a little happier...
I bet somebody is going to use it as a soap placer, though...
It damn is an egg placer, an egg placer!, for God's sake!
