Today is Tuesday. Since the last post, I successfully got the felt material. The factory help me to cut the 15mm thickness felt into round circles. I cut other pieces during the weekends. ( around 50 pieces)
The needle felting on the back has gone halfway now. The wooden part. I cut the biscuits joining tracks on Monday. Tuesday, I applied a hole cutter on the drilling machine to cut out the 120mm hole on the borads. (about 30 pieces). From which I got nice looking wooden wheels :) Since the max diameter is only 110 mm on the hole cutter, I have to sand the hole into 120mm, which takes time. I tried to glue the felt on the board. Tommorrow is gonna be the big glueing day. Hope everything goes well.

Production phase has reached a busiest time.
Last week I finished all the wood cutting and board gluing. And I just completed cutting the 45 degree angle meeting on all the side boards. Things are going a little bit difficult because the wood changes a lot and sometimes have a curve and I cant use the circular saw to get a perfect angle. A kind of construction was applied on the machine, to press the board to the workingg table. This way I made the angle quite nice, though it takes much more time and energy with all the screws and stuff. But things are under controll and I start the needle felting for the back in the evening. Tommorrow I am going to Halmstad to pick up natural wool felt from the factory. Busy week. I think the weekends will not be free. Though it is Chinese new year, and this will be the year of dragon. This is my year. |
