This morning, I had go back to the new shop for a
minor trouble. That is under control, though.
Coating continued, of course, but apart from that
my time was spent on minor? things. The first picture
below is indicating that my brush hangers are now
coated, with natural resin. Handwasher was also
treated in the same way. I was thinking about this coating
last night. My gut feeling is that I shuld go
for polyurethane, of a different kind. I will look further
into this possibility. The main reason is that
natural resin needs a lot of drying and cure time.
What is seen below are members of saucer placers,
bought at a 100 yen shop. Main frames were grooved,
edges rounded, and sanded overall, ready for
polyurethane coating. I will need to assemble them this evening.
Here below, my rice handlers are also ready for
coating.
Here, I am back to my spheres again. What do I make of them,
sort of thing...
I am toying with a wild idea... You see cubes, right?
They were looking just like these spheres, i.e.,
whitish...
If I coat these spheres with my clear polyurethane
they will be looking brownish, and shiny until
I mat them.
I am putting a simple question to myself.
What is wrong with nice and shiny brown spheres?
A voice at my back is mumbling...
What are they meant for? Wha are they useful for?
I am also mumbling, "just for holding them for the
sake of it, what is wrong with that?" Am I going mad?
Anyway, I have now decided that with my 'My chopstics"
I will use magnets, strong magnets. In fact, I will be
using magnets for my eventual tongs, too.
One practical issue here is this. Of course, I will
be using disk magnets. However, having two of the same
magnet does not add to doubling the power.
Only 10 % increase is the most you can get, and they are
very, very expensive. So, I need counterpart soft iron
discs.
They do not sell these and I will have to produce them
myself. Above schematic is indicating practical issues.
B is showing that my endmill is trying to make the top
surface flat. It is sitting in a cavity for stability.
Jugged top is showing you the result of using
my metal bandsaw, exagerrated (sorry, mis-spelling)
, of course, with a soft iron metal bar.
I need a stable cavity to smoothe out the top and C
is indicating how it might be done.
First, I need a slab of alminium piece, and make a hole
in it, with the diam. I want and depth, of course.
Then, I need to saw it into halves.
Cut halves can now be pressurerised by the vise,
fixing the disc to be in a stable posture (hopefully...).
Actually, I may go for direct milling on the soft iron
bar, fixed with the vise. That may be easier and less
time consuming. It remains to be seen...
