Giant, Chinese spoons, baby spoons

Conchita, I am being busy on the coating front.

The first pic for today is the salt/powder spoons
that wnet through the 1st imersion coating.





Short stemmed Chinese spoons as well as the egg
holders are seen here.



Some baby feeders are also being coated in some
antity.



Here, you see my table ladle, egg placers, and
long stemmed Chinese spoons. Also seen are
very small straight stemmed spoons.



Here above, you see them better, I think.



Here, some rabits and long stemmed forcs. These will be
coated as soon as nail beds have spare areas.



Here, some more baby feeders are being born.



Today's work ended with the templates for the deep
cavity table ladle, not exactly yet completed.

Conchita, I talked about computerising
my current milling machine. I am postponing comupterisaion
a while.

This is because I decided to purchase a much more
powerfull milling machine. It will set me back
a lot and I cannot afford the driver and the
step motors.

They are also very expensive...

My current thinking is this. Wood working as it is currently
practised, not just by me, but also by other poeple
around the world, and here I am talking about

non-professional workers, like me, may well change.

At the end of the day you need to computerise your
milling machine, but wood working with a milling machine
will have to prevail...

Why? Simply because you can step into a new horizon
with your milling machine. Yes, you have those who
are renowned for their craftmanship with their

extremely intricate artefacts, all made by hand.
I greatly admire their skills and worship them in awe.

However, they are dying away, sooner or later.
With your milling machine, you can approach them,
I think. I may be wrong...

They are a patient lot, aren't they? Quite adept at
repetitive processing. I am not one...

Take a case of an egg placer. You need to create 24 holes
in a tiny plate. I used my milling machine,
but it is a laborious task.

Although now shown here, think of the toast holders
with all those grooves. With my current less poweul
milling machine I cannot create a single groove

even in one go. My new mwchine will allow me to do just
that...

Oh..., I would be rambling on...

Giant, deep cavity, Chinese and infant spoons

Conchita, I did not have a full day today.
Somehow, though, I put in a fair amount of work, I think...



These are very tiny spoons for powder handing. Their
cavities are so small and the inside walls have been
left unattened. I used my diamond bit to clean the surfaces.



These have been also unattended to, neglected might
be the better word for it... These are now ready for
coating tommorrow.



There was some odd feel about holding of these short
stemmed Chinese spoons. The defects have been attended to and
these are also coating ready.



These are infant feeders, again coating ready.



Yet more infant feeders are being worked on.

I am thinking about coating. Right now some of the
large items from the last lot are drying in the shed.

That means those late comers are now stored in my
bedroom. Not only that, a lot of the last lot are
also in my bedroom, doing nothing.

I really need one or two more nail beds, so that
I do not need to waste my time, because the time
spent on coating is not that large.

It is the inspection after drying and wet sanding and
drying and inspection yet again. All these can take
place in the evenings. All these process takes up

something like two hours, but coating only needs 30
minutes, no matter how large the stock is...

Yes, more nail beds, that is what is looming over the
horizon at the moment...

Chinese spoons, ladles, giant spoons

Conchita, I will have to be in Okinawa for a few days
starting Monday next week. Logging will be stopped
for that duration.

Now, take a look at the first pic. This is a ladle,
penetration coating just done on it. You may say that the cavity
wall is too thick. It is not.

It is just the viewing angle that gives that impression.



The discs, yet again, cannot help it, because they
are undergoing the penetration coating fourth time,
to make sure they are potentially salable.



Below, you are looking at long stemmed Chinese spoons.
They are getting better, of course.



Giant spoons are also going through their 4th
penetration coating. Normally, I stop at the
thrid, but these connifers are exceptions as

they absorb a lot.



Infant feeders, just completed this afternoon.



Short stemmed Chinese spoons, very nearly complete
for coating. The only additional work is to make
the stems thinner. It makes all the difference.

What remains? Yes, ordinary spoons and aok chopstics.
Once all these are displayed for sale, what I need to do,
hopefully, is to go for a smaller number of each item.



Then comes in a stage for new designs...
Am I not being too busy!?

Chinese, giant, spoons and infant feeders

Conchita, know something? It is working!
I decided that I will work longer hours, no?
It is just a mere addition of one hour and

it makes all the difference! What you are looking at is the
part of the lot that started having coating session.
No photo here, but they went through a coatig process,

just this morning.



You can see that they are now looking better and better.
In fact, this is a mixture of two differnt lots.
Chinese spoons, short stemmed, coating 1, and

some of the earlier lot. I come on to that in a sec.



Now, this is the deep cavity spoon, coating ready.
I am happy with this. It looks OK. Initially, there
was a shadow in the cavity in order to give you

the feel of the cavity depth. It was obliterrated
when I took this photo by the flash! Whether I will
be making more of these, I am not sure.

It is a very laborious process... My selling price on
this will be high at somewthing like JPY 3,000. If
it does not sell, then I will retrieve it and use this

at home.



These are allshort stemmed Chinese spoons. Stems have
not yet been done with.



These are some of my infant feeders. Again, they are
incomplete. I have, thoug, two outside this image,
that are coating ready.

Let me summerize my current working style as per below.

1. I now work longer, by one hour, until 17:00.

(This was originally because I wanted to get myself
in line with the norm in the society at large)

2. Wet sanding and drying takes place in the evening,
instead of doing those (and drying) in the morning,
followed by coating at around lunch time.

3. Two different coatings are done almost continuously.

(This is to make the best use of my nail beds)(and I
am going to make one or two more nail beds, soon)

Consequences?

Yes, I am producing more and more end products/day.
At the moment, it is not strictly regulated, but
I will endeavour to achieve just that!

Giant spoons and Chinese spoons

Today I put my idea into practice. That is, I
deliberately sabotaged the coating on most of the
current lot and in their steadapplied

the first coating on the next lot. No photo.
I also realised that most of them are simple
forc-knives, legacy generation by their type.



3 images here of the deep cavity spoon I showed you
yesterday. I like it the way it is, except perhaps
that it is a little small.

But then, I do not want to work on kitchen
utencils. My area of work is squarely table
cutlery. Deep cavity spoons included.

Yes, this is a very weak excuse...





Most of the afternoon was spent on concaving
short stemmed Chinese spoons. There are some more
outside the photo range.

Here, I am very pleased, pleased in that having
two identical carving tools helped me to get them
done without taking operational breaks.

It is a revolution, it indeed is! In fact, I
was able to make the best use of the time left
before the operational time limit and

worked on the deep cavity thing, as shown below.



Definition is not good, but the cavity is there. There are
two problems here. One is surmountable. That is I cannot
make the cavity walls too thin, as the whole thing is

connifer. I will have to sand down the inside walls.



More of a problem is this photo.



Conchita, what you are looking at it is the carving bit
at its maximum protrusion from the chucking device.
It is not long enough to reach the bottom of the

deep cavity I have been talking about. What I will
have to do is to maximum use f this arrangement and
use the sanding cone I showed you earlier.

The cone is long enough. However, I really need
a coupler.

I will be using them when I computerise my machine tools.
I could make one for myself, but the mere thought of time
rejects me... I am busy enough, already.

On the sales front, yes, I delivered some more to shop 1.
Apparently, my pieces are selling well there. Good to hear that.
