This morning was the very first of our outing in the
new year, to register our gratitude at a shrine for the
mini jackpot my wife secured.
Upon return another surprise was waiting.
This is a simple trimmer I ordered a few days ago. I needed one,
at its simplest. Typically, one of these sets you back
by JPY 15000.
I bought this for a mere JPY 2980. Expensive trimmers
have a slow start curcuit built in. I do not want that,
because with my speed controller I only need
a simple carbon brush circuit, and they are cheap,
typically at6000. So, Conchita, you can see what a
bargain this is!
Not just only that! With it came a set of bits!
OK, these are cheap bits, but I can use them.
If you buy equivalent bist off the shelf
they will set you back by JPY 2500/one, easily.
Here, I have got 6 of them for free of charge!
Here above it is already in use, side by side with
another one bought years ago. Why I need a second one
is very simple.
With these there is an operational limit of 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes or so the Jourle heating makes it
unusable and you need a cooling time.
I want to use the trimmer longer and one way
od doing that is to have a second one like this!
Here above you see a template for my deep and large spoons.
Why? I realised, last year, that large spoons sell well.
Sell at something like JPY 2500, easily.
Besides, it is fun to make large and deep spoons,
and it does not cost you a lot.
I took some time off this afternoon to buy
materials. These are 45m deep and 75mm wide
at 900mm length.
I can make 4 large spoonsfrom these and they will
fetch JPY 10,000 and the material cost for those 4
is merely JPY 1200.
Of course, you do cutting and shaping and sanding
and coating and wet sanding and matt coating and
all that, but it is worth my time, or is it...?
The first of penetration coating of the latest
lot is complete and I will be doing wet sanding
this evening...
