Conchita, I could not do a lot today... This is because
I had to spend time on preparation for the sales opportunity
at the department store.
All morning was spent on final inspection. Most of the afternoon
I was counting and putting price labels on my work pieces.
On top of that I had to go to M's to deliver a few minor itmes.
On my way home, though, I bought a new adhesive, as shown below.
This is rather expensive, but it is supposed to withstand the
temperatures of up to 120 centigrade. The reason for buying this
was that trimming of the soft iron pegs very much affects
the bonding that already exists, all due to Jouele heating
during the sanding down process. The way forward, though,
is to minimize the time it takes to sand down unwanted
tips by the grinder. In order to do that, I need jigs of
various sorts. So, what little time left for me this
afternoon was spent on jig making.
As shown above, I needed two different types of jigs. A is
for bonding the magnets and the soft iron pieces at the right
protrusion and recess.
B is a soft iron piece cutting jig. I want 10 mm pieces,
and these jigs are meant to help me to achive just that.
Schematically, it looks easy enough, but in reality it
is not! It is a precision work we are talking about here!
Shown above are the rsults. There are some leeways built
into these jigs.
Above? I needed to remake a baby feeder spoon for my
baby friend. Her mouth is a little too small for the
baby feeder I sent for her.
Conchita, you know something? Making one for
somebody specfic in your mind is fun! That little
baby girl who is destined to be a wooman of
stunning beauty!
I am having to decide exactly when I can depart for my
mountain cottage. My gut-feeling is that it will be
1 May. I need at least two full days for sorting out
my things to take to the cottage.It will be a lot of
physical work I expect up there. However, it will be
worth my efforts.
My web logging, once departed for the cottage, will
completely come to a halt. I just do not have the net
connection up there.
I and my mother live there only for 90 to 100 days per year
and I do not want to waste money! We do not even have a TV!
