Conchita, I have been busy all dat today...
What with this and that, as usual...
In picking pics I usually assume a story line, and
today must be chopstics day. See? what follows are
about to be coated. They are those made long time ago.
They are coated for the first time, as shown here.
Most of these will go to A's.
Here above, not only the chopstics, but you can also see
deep spoons and adult off-sets.
Today's highlight must be this. The chopstics
on the right are of oak, something I have been
wanting to achieve for such a long time by now.
Black colored pieces are thickness jigs. You
can also see the bars from which the chopstics
originated, just to the lower left area.
Here again, some more of the deep table ladles.
Above?, yes, they are the oak flats, frmo which
oak bars are to be made, to be turned into
chopstics.
The procedure is this. Above flats are sliced into
bars, and after rough sanding with the disk sander
they are subjected to further finer sanding
on the belt sander as shown here. Can you see a square
piece in black at the top? That is a stopper.
Here above, you can see my old belt sander, without a stopper.
Having one makes all the difference, into details of which
I do not want to go...
My gut-feeling conclusion is this. With the larger and
more powerful belt sander my chopstics making is now made
a lot easier. It is something I did not expect at all,
when I bought it. Can youn imagine how operational
procedures may change with new accquisitons?
All this makes me think..., it really does...
