Wooden cutlery, icecream SPs, bandsaws

There was no Kamakura business today. In fact,
my wife went to Tokyo for something, a concert?

Today, really started with the next image.



What I am doing here is that I am removing a lot of polyps
on the pieces in the box on the right, and processed ones
are tossed into the box on the left.

It took me something like 90 minutes. Coating on them took up
another 90 minutes, or more of my time. They are getting there, though.



I spoke to K's shop a few days ago and she wants
icecream SPs. I have made a few of them, in the last lot,
but they are meant for my friends.

They do not differ in the top profile, but they are
slighty different in thickness. It matters not, after
all you only need a few to have your icecream.

Selling them is another story. They have to be identical.

So, I started producing the materials of the same thickness,
from the block you see above. I went for 20 pieces and the
result is shown bellow.



You can see a template at the bottom of this above image.



With the above, can you ientify those transcription lines
drawn on each of the pieces? They are then jigsawed, as you can
see in the following image.



These, I call propellers, because they look like them.
While looking like them, there are still discontinuities,
around the peripherals. I will have to remove them, tommorrow.

Propellers are fairly easy to fabricate, but rarely you find
the right sized pieces from which you can form them. The resultant
is newly created redundancies, as you see bellow.



It is ever so easy to throw these away. I do not want to!
Can you see the transcription lines being off-set to one
side of the starting pieces? This is for me to make the maximum

use of the leftovers. Quite what they will be, I do not know
at this stage.

What I am trying to convey to you is this, I think.
OK, propellers look simple and look easy to be finalised.

In reality, it is not! Cutting out one of them takes,
2 minutes, and I will have to remove discontinuties,
let alone coating of them and all other things.

Therefore, I hope you do not mind if I charge you
JPY 800 for each one of the completed propellers!
