Conchita, today effectively was lost...
I had to meet my sister in law and had to take
her to a hospital. I only had, I should imagine,
one hour for my woodworking.
First see below some of the last lot.
Table ladles, cornflake spoon, giant servers,
, adult off-sets all ready to b delivered.
If you come to think about them, this is
the first time I have had these. Naturally,
I am very pleased at my achievement.
With the new addition of my sealant polyurethane
my future pieces will be even looking better!
Here above, these are adult off-sets, and they are
bound to sell well. At K's she already bought two
of my baby off-sets for her friends, something a shop
owner is advised not to do regularly...
That means one thing, though, my baby off-sets are
attractive enough.
Below, you see a series of photos, leading up
to an experimental double layered pasta forc.
Starting from the first picture, all these
took me some 30 minutes. What I wanted here was
not the end result itself. I was more into the
procedural pitfalls.
Let me explain. I now have a very powerfull milling
machine, capable of machining even soft iron pieces.
However, how you might operate the machine is
really a matter of experience. If you make it
work harshly you will be rewarded...
So, you need steps. This above went through 3 steps.
First, through penetration down the width of
the forc.
Secondly, elongating the hole in a straight line
up to where the gap shape starts curving. You stop
your cutting process right there.
Actually, the 3rd process about to be talked about
comes after this image. As you see above, you make
proper forc grooves. Then you go back to the earlier
state and cut out the curved gap with a jigsaw. Why?
The answer is this. Cutting out the cruved slit by my
jigswa is simply too heavy on my machine.
You want to get rid of unwanted mass as much as possible,
before you go jigsaw. Conchita, I can go on and on and on
about these nitty-gritty procedural issues.
Suffice only to say that forming 3 dimensional grooves
is not a very simple matter. I am still experimnting.
Anyway, take a look at the result below.
My gut-feeling is that I might get there...
Question marks are ringing all over the place,
but I am inclined to think I will get there
eventually. I need to look at the starting thickness,
starting width, starting gap separation, mainly,
but I will get what I want.
It is altogether a different story whether anybody
wants to buy one of these stupid looking forcs...
I will buy one, for the uniquenss of it all!
