Three out of a bunch. …. update

These three tools are all, now, very sharp, ready to use.A bunch more await their turn.

The Cutting Edge

Setting up to sharpen a number of dual bevel edge carving tools. Used for fine detail carving wood blocks. This is a little different than “standard” single bevel edge sharpening. I’ll be expanding on this over the next few posts.

The Hangito tool, the most useful and important tool in woodblock printmaking. (also called the kiridashi.  It is capable of cutting intricate, flowing lines that are at the heart of Japanese printmaking. All the outlines in the print are carved with this tool.

Single Bevel, Right-Handed Japanese carving tool.

The back face of the tool has a Flat Face that may or may not be Hollow Ground (as above example)

Temporary Re-Labeling Ammo Cans … Done

Improved labeling completed. It will be easy to Re-Label / Over Label when required.  Minor change from the Small Can prototype label .. I used a 3.5” x 2.5” label for the nine remaining cans.

Ammo-Box; Labeling hack that maybe of help to you

Plastic ammo boxes have a “Textured Surface” .. These vary, but use standard moulding techniques. This textured surface can be difficult to get standard labels to adhere, even after degreasing / cleaning the plastic surfaces.  I do prefer the newer plastic cans over the original metal cans.

Standard Avery labels just don’t stick, see below. … I have these on hand.I also have this Shurtape AF 100, UL 181A-P/B-FX Listed aluminum foil HVAC tape. Appling a section of AF 100 tape to the ammo box, an Avery label will adhere to the aluminum surface of the AF 100 tape. This is about an 85% solution, so for now problem solved, easy to replace when I acquire more VHB tape, 3M VHB Tape (Very High Bond) . Update mid-next week with new graphics labels for all the cans.

Labeling the ammo cans …. Update with purpose designed label stack-up using a material that will adhere to the plastic textured plastic ammo cans.

 

Made up sets of: 3 1/2” x 2” and 4” x 2” “Sub-Labels”, VHB tape with 2.06” wide white drywall tape. This shall act as generic box labels, ammo specific labels shall be applied to the white tape.
