So me went home... and started shaping that piece of wood Dad brought back from the factory. Mum tried to help, but was limited by the fact that I have no concrete design drawn up as a guideline. My design was in the head, stuck there. The models I've done so far out of clay and foam were all in bits and pieces, so much fragmented that I can't seem to get a picture of what I want on paper. So it started with just a side profile of the spoon that I managed to squeeze out sometime ago (but was not of proportion).
The kitchen 'workshop'.... If there is something I discovered in sem 2, it's that my house is a workshop in disguise...
Tools for the day... The clamp was borrowed from the uncle at the clothing store, thanks to mum who helped me asked for it. The sewing machine table in the kitchen was strong and sturdy enough to withstand the weight and force.
Bought a small but super powerful tool that left the table with many shreds of wood. Dunno what's it called... the coping saw was pretty useful too. Mum guided me along the usage of all the tools, helping me with the wood saw and giving some tips about how not to break the saw...
Random picture of Ann who came into the kitchen. She just had a haircut, for Xiu to seeeee~ XD Recently the kid has been getting rashes all over the face... Ting's wondering if it's measles, but the fever had subsided a few days ago before the red spots start appearing more on the forehead and there aren't spots appearing anywhere else. Mum took all of Ann's towels and toys for a wash...
The spoon... can't get a good picture of it with my chui camera in the night lighting. Within 4 hours, the basic shape was almost done cut out and I spent the rest of the time sanding the edges smooth. It wasn't good, the straw handle too thin, and the bowl of the spoon still needs some adjustments. I'll be doing another one later today, hopefully my arm can tahan... I finally have a full model to guide me in the technical drawings... At least there's some direction now...
