And today I did......

What size is the spoon Andy, looks like one for daddy bear.

Thinking on different sizes and usage :? the 2nd pic id try to do about that size as a ladle type but remember once the main structure is made i can thin it down considerably. Especially the laminate.
The latter is probably the most technical to achieve. Its the clamping thats required which has to be even across the whole structure as it cures. I also like that i may be able to insert the concave spoon section inside the laminate before its clamped. It means its one operation and theres far less chance of something splitting or cracking as i bend it to fit it together as a 2 piece.

Loads of fun
Im looking forward to gluing up the mahogany strips tomorrow. Im envisioning there will be a bit of springiness in the finished laminate.
Ill make a teardrop shaped insert to glue it around, with any luck i might even be able to produce a working prototype from it.
Ive a sneaky trick ive suddenly thought of might help support it as is cures and allow the spoon section to be fitted prior to gluing



I was only interested in the Fat gazz, as said im not clued up with most exotic stuff outside the uk though i have spotted one or 2 in the city over the past year. One i thought was yours and one that was really tatty. It just had Chance on the tube and you could see something was or used to be before it.
No wire cutters unfortunately

Thats what you do for samples, I'm collecting the stuff, all of it. I've a room full of it all culturing away for 10-14 days at 24oC. Where there's muck there's brass or in this case stertagii a abomasal blood sucking nematode

Yeah, but HR is dealing with the human ones
