I have had a very busy day today. First, I continued with
my coating of chopstics and a few other items.
Then came a friend from Sli Lanka, after such a
long time of not seeing each other. In addition,
I had to make a quick dash to my local contacts.
More to follow on one of the leads that came about
as a result, for days to come, I think...
Anyway, my renewed attempt at the toast placer
was popular with my local contacts. These other
objects here are here for no particular reason.
It is just that I take comfort and somehow gain stability
of mind just by looking at them on and off...
I do know why, I think. They are all elements of the
universe we live in. Spheres, tubes, even pillars and
triangular blocks.
The latter two are obviously not of the fundamental
kind, as they are more of the designoid, but pretty
much fundamental to everyday living...
Anyway, the schematic immediately below. This is a conceptual
schematic showing you how void in a wooden block is
formed. The line in red is the absolute bottom of
the void making, secured by an external stopping
mechanism. Steps are shown of boring to different
depths. You are free to choose the intervening depths.
The schematic just above is more indicative of the problem
I am facing at the moment.
The idea is this. You want to make a large area void
in a block. You also want the bottom edges to be
around.
So, you start off with a smaller diamter round headed
bit, and that is easy. However, these small diameter
bits are inefficient to remove the mass inside
the loop created by the traversing of he small diamter bit.
You need a much larger diamter bit, and tha is where
alignment problem sneeks in... Can you allign the outermost
end of the larger diameter bit exactly to
centre of the smaller diametr bit? How can you do that?
I do not really know the solution to this problem...
Suffice, perhaps, to say that that is why my work is
interesting...
Issues to be understood, issues to be solved, that kind of thing...
