Today, I was not able to do much.
All 22 potential pairs of hashi were tapered on the remaining two sides, as shown here.
At this stage they are not yet exactly paired. It is only when edges are rounded that they are. Once they are properly paired I cannot afford to lose pairing information until they are eventually given away. Once coating is finished they will be stored in transparent plastic sheath.
Before that stage they are provisionally kept in sorting boxes as shown below.
It will take all day tomorrow, I think, to finish off with remaining pieces and once they are all paired they will be coated immediately, as spoon making is next in the pipeline.
Spoon making is more of my thing, so I am anxious to finish with hashies, soonest.
What is below is showing the abrasive pieces that I use.
Most useful of these is the bullet shaped sanding pieces. However, these are rather too large for anything. At the smaller end they are too small. Why on earth they cannot produce intermediate sized sanding pieces I fail to understand...
