Baby feeders, rice spalutas, chopstics

I did not need to go anywhere today. I did things,
but, somehow I do not feel it...

Coating continued as you can see below. These rice
handling spatulas are coming on nicely. I like them.
In two days time they will go mat, ready for shipping.



Two photos below are really showing you how my day was
spent. Shape forming is something that you might expect
taking up a lot of your time.

It used to.., but no longer. Let me correct myself immediately,
though. Shape forming in my case has been largely concave surface
creation. I am OK with this.

What takes up a lot of time is to create simple pieces of
wood from which things are shaped, either concaved, or
grooved, or whatever you want to do with them...

However, most psychologically time consuming process is
hand sanding near complete pieces.



You may not be able to see much difference between objects
above, which are coating ready, and those below, which must be
hand-sanded for the final stage of perfection.



These pieces above look quite ready for coating, but they are not!
There are rough irregularities on their surgface and you really must
sand them out, obliterate them!

If the number of pieces you are dealing with is small then
you can sit out in the sun as I did today and enjoy the last
moment immediately before coating.

That certainly gives you a joy. After all, you have spent days
before you get to that stage... Hoowever, if you have more than
30 of them, say, the whole thing suddenly becomes tedious.

That may be the way of life..., after all. People do
that sort of things as a matter-of-factly... I just wonder
if I should congratulate myself on this...



Anyway, above showing you one example of operational procudures.

This is in relation to the tip forming of chopstics. I do not want to
go into the details of these schematic inputs. CM refers to
circular motion.

The idea is this. Making the tip of a sharp end of a chopstic
nicely rounded. That may seem simple enough...

There are, however, operational procudures to follow,
so that you come to the same end prodcut quality.
Changing angles of sanding, changing sanding directions,

it is not that easy, that is what I say...

You must also move from one grain number to another.
It is not easy! A piece of good news is that those
8 odd dinosours I delivered to C's have been sold out!

That was only 10 days ago!
