Conchita, I think I did a fair amount of work
today. I had to take my wife to a nursery
in the afternoon and i took up some time.
It is fair to say that most of my time was spent
on hand-sanding the Chinese spoons. Part of my time
was also spent on machine-sanding forcknives.
See below? There are about 15 of them at the last count.
I have another 25 or so to go. If the weather holds out
for tommorrow I should be sitting out under the sun
and working on the spoons, as I did today.
I also sliced down the side pieces and they are
now about to be clamped.
I also spent a large part of this morning on the last
coating lot. They were not further coated today.
They wil be, tommorrow. Completion and delivery
so close now...
Here above and below, I keep losing sight of my pieces
in the workshop. They tend to surface unexpectedly...
Even rabits are there. They are small rabit looking
memo holders.
Today, I gained a new insight into coating
defects recovery. I now call it "Time shifted
double knifing (TSDK)", or TSK in short.
The idea is as follows.
I have been using wet sanding throughout my
coating stages. As a precursor to it it is
normal to do knfing off the defects.
However, you do not really want to lose
coating layers by sanding. Of course,
you need wet sanding and it is essential.
However, at the final stage of glossy coating
and all thanks to earlier wet sandings your
dfects are less menacing.
So, you knife them out after retrieval from
the coating shed in the morning while they are
still softissh. Leave them there.
You do the same knifing in the evening as I
did today, then you get almost perfect obliteration
of the scurrs. Anything that is left over
can be glossed out by the final gloss coating.
I will see if my instinct is right, and that is
for tommorrow.
