Conchita, it has been a mixed day. I made a short outing
to get hold of a vital piece of wood I needed for my
table saw. Otherwise, I did my usual work.
The first photo here is showing you the blade guidance
block I bought today. It is all hand-made in my workshop!
You can also see the no-go mark in red, beyond which
I should not stick my fingers out! Two pieces nearby are
the jigs I made for handling the pieces I want cut by this
horrible looking machine.
They actually come from a salad server set I made long time
ago. One of the shops I am dealing with is shouting for
these server sets. I am not that keen, though.
Now, the schematic below is showing you the directions
in which I will have to go to protect my fingers. If I loose
any of my fingers, I will no longer be able to play the piano!
What I really need is a soft iron cover which will go over the
blade area, and with a stopper at the end. I will be making one
soon.
These table saws are so dangerous and you must protect yourself
against kickbacks, but also against anything that could happen.
So, irom protection cover must be the way forward.
The photo below, and those three objects at the bottom left
are meant for the same shop. I am not keen on them, either,
but I will have to comply with her request.
Here are my conventional chopstics, still being coated.
Here below, potential porblems. These are smaller
chopstics cases, for shorter chopstics. I had discarded
the possibility of mas-production. However!,
I talked to another shop today and she said that the prototype
was of 20cm long for 17cm long chopstics. Moreover, she said that
the chopstics length was just about right for ladies.
All this makes me think hard! I also do want to go for
smaller outfits. If she were right....
These got coated today for the first time, of 23 cm long
for 20 cm long chopstics. Either, I am totally wrong
about these specs, or it is still OK with my friends.
There is a one problem with these cases above. They are so
finely made (my credit!) that they just simpley look like
a single piece of wood, let alone having a pair of chopstics
inside them.
You can pul apart the component covers, but the irony here
is that they are direction-specific when being combined
to a single piece again.
So, I need two markers to indicate which ends need to
match which ends.
My solution was to have a small hole in the head of the soft iron
piece and an extra space around the entry hole to the magnet.
That way, you will always be able to tell immediately which end
must meet its counterpart end. The result? one single piece of
wood! No discontinuity, just nothing to indicate that it is
actually made of two seperate pieces of wood!
