Coating continued today. No photo here. Just suffice to
say that it took all morning.
Then, I worked on roof window frames and Chinese spoons
alternately, taking into account the Joule heating of my
milling machine.
These Chinese spoons will be will be worked on some more
tommorrow re outline and then concaved. That will give me time to
groove another windwon frame.
Today, I made 4 members like this for a full window frame.
Above is my workshop here, small, very, probably the smallest workshop
in the world at 1.7m x 2.7m. The house I am working on
is at 4m x 6m and I do intend to expand it later.
Now, even with this small structure I had to do things
rather unconventionally. I did, though, start with the foundation.
With the current larger one, I had to work on the foundation
only after the skeleton had been erected. Normally, you would
expect to work on the roof next. Well, I could not do it
with this small workshop.
In order to compensate for the small area I wanted to go higher,
and that meant that my ladder was insufficient to work
on the roof top. So, I had to start with the flooring.
How ridicuouls it is, I do know...
With the larger house I have lots and lots of other problems.
I am the only carpenter, the only mason, and all other
job handlers.
What can be done in 10 minutes if I had another helper
would take me one hour easily. My immediate task would be to
bring 2x4, 2x6 materials up to the hiehgt of 4m.
Added to their sheer mass I need to think how I might
just do that. Roping comes first to my mind. Rope around them
and pull them up?
More of an acute problem is the plywoods. They are
eqaully heavy and much more difficult to handle.
How the hell am I going to lift them to that height
so that I can fix them in place. Who is going to hold
them for me while I am fixing them? The plywood for the
ceiling base will be constantly trying for fall!
Roping again?, my current gut feeling is that in
addition to roping I will have use auxilliary metal pipes
for secure holding.
All this, I will be doing in the heat of the summer!
