Conchita, I did something potentially dangerous today!
Prior to that I managed to coat some more pieces
for delivery in early part of January.
you see those below.
This large spoon seems in good demand and
I have a few more in the making.
Baby feeders for mothers to use. They can be used for
something else once the babies are self-propelling...
Some more chopstics. They also sell well.
This is the high-light of today. Here, I am trying to
cut walnut into slices with my table saw.
Because it is such a dangerous machine to operate
I brought its RPM down from 4,000 to its 40% range.
The high whinning sound at its maximum speed is
so disturbing. However, this was a mistake.
The machine overheated soon as the thick
walnut overloaded it.
So, I had to revert to itsfull operational
speed and lived with it. Naturally, there are a few
precautionary mechanisms built into the machine.
If I loose my finger tips I will not be able to
play my piano, which is an old Steinway, brought
all the way from NY...
Anyway, the result from my agonising moments.
Actually, I am happy, because to get 21 slices
of this thickness it would have taken my
bandsaw easily something like 2 hours. Instead,
today's operation was over in 20 minutes, or even less.
Such is the power of a table saw...
Above, yes, I refined the convex surfaces of all the
remaining pieces and even managed to concave
three of them.
Concaving three can be over within the operational
limit of 30 minutes, which is good, for this size.
The only problem is that I use the same motor
to power my sanding disc, so I have to let it cool
down for 15 minutes or so. But then, I can do
something else during that time span.
I wonder if my borther has managed to take off...
Seatle is deeply covered in snow.
Conchi, as I told you earlier I will be away
from home for a few days with my brother. My
logging will be stopped for the same duration.
Oh, by the by, you must have received my greeting from
outer space!
Take care!
