Wooden picker knife forks, my shed!

There was no chore today and that is why I am a little
surprised to see today's images.

Frist, take a look at the following.



I now know why, there were half a dozen phone calls and
I had to deal with them with care, that is why, I think...

Anyway, these three objects, I made them today as
the prototype of my picker knife forks, and I did not like them.
They look ugly!

Oh, I know!, I then spent a lot of time, thinking of
them, in my workshop. In the end, I came up with the following shape.



There were two reasons for not liking those in the
first image. The first reason was that you do not see
what they are meant to be at a first glance.

Second reason was at the rear end of the stems, the shape
of the stem ends. It is technical, that is, it is
very difficult to form these shapes with my tools.

They all are bladed fine, but they look ugly enough!

The one in the second image, I did not object to it, and
produced a few of them, starting with a template for them.



These are the only physical output of my today's work.
They are oak. I am not blaming myself, really...

With new things, it will take a while to climb up
the learning curve! With those of today, the edges
toward the left of the image are

bladed, that is, thined down to form knife like
edges, while those towards the right are simply
pointed. Structural strength? They are all OK!

In the meantime, I still have this problem of what to do
tommorrow, but, that apart, take a look at the following.



This is a conceptual frame of my shed to be
constructed at our mountain cottage in Yatsugatake.
Forget about clumps and the intrusions and

extrusions they produce.

The main thing is that the frame structure can be
formed without too many problems. It is even conceivable
that I put some plastic sheets over the frame and

live in it!

However, more realistic issues are shown in the following.



A is a typical schematic seen from above. The red
disk is the metal pipe seen from above. Clumps are
not drawn, but they are there.

B's blue lines correspond to 2X4 planks, bolted to
one another, as shown in C. Black areas are the
nuts and bolts in the 2x4 materials.

Once these are in place, then I can happily
screw plywoods, shown in brownish lines.
Naturally, the spaces between 2x4 materials

(and the planks) will be heavily insulated
with glassfibres. Thin black lines correspond to
heavy duty screws.
