Fresh set of snack beds

It is not that nothing has been taking place. Take a look at the following photo.



A new set of materials are being set up, trying to fabricate another 20 or so snack beds. Actually, I will be buying more walnut to cope with the potential demand.

This time round I will be in for more precise fabrication and that means more precise "chigiri" cutting and that in turn means more robust cutting jig. Up until now, I have been trying every avenue, trying to cut down on the number of jig parts changing.

I have now given up my hope in that area and in its stead I am going for two base plates arrangement. Using a single base plate and rotating an aluminum holder is too complicated, mainly due to the interference from the milling machine column.

So, two separate base plates, as you see below. Can you see that aluminum pieces are perpendicular to each other?




and next one is simulation with my actual cutting disc in place. Here, it is.



Coating of previous lot has been going on. Each bed is subjected to 10 times of wet sanding, as you see here below.



I am quite a bit obsessed with elaborate coating. Normally, even those products sold at department stores are rarely coated more than 5 times. In my case it is 10 times. Yes, I am a perfectionist. It is just one of those things.



In the meantime, though, different things are being made. In particular, infant feeders. Here are some examples. These two will be given to my friends.




Above are at various stages of fabrication.

On another front, show room arrangements for my products are under way at the furniture making factory. I will carry some photos of this tomorrow.
