Sudachi is a small, round, green citrus fruit that is a specialty of Tokushima. It is a sour citrus, not eaten as fruit, but used as food flavoring.This is tool to squeeze the Sudachi.Drawing
1.The material used was Yakusugi-cedar given by a friend more than 10 years ago. Since it is a small block, it seems that it requires some ingenuity in cutting.
2.First, divide it into three parts for the body and legs.
3.Print out the drawing at full scale and glue it with peelable spray glue.
4.Cut with a band saw.
5.Grinding with homemade spindle sander.
6.The position to divide into the main body and the lid is marked by a homemade pencil surface gage.
7.Cut with a hand saw.
8.Grind the cut surface with a drum sander.
9.The leg part was not enough material, so it became a patch. The adhesive uses yellow glue to make it water resistant.
10.Three parts are completed.
11.Prepared hole 7mm for mounting screw chuck. The depth was 15 mm so as not to penetrate.
12.Since the screw part of the screw chuck is long and the screw comes out when turning, a spacer is inserted between the chuck and the work. The spacer is 50mm square and 6mm thick. The hole is 8mm.
13.The work is screwed into the screw chuck.
14.Mark turning points with a compass.
15.Let's turning.
16.Because it is eccentric, the rotation speed is limited to about 600 rpm.
17.Turning completed. In the center, the tip of the pilot hole looks a little.
18.Drilling 12mm for SUS pipe to discharge juice. I will regret not checking the dimensions before drilling.
19.The lid was turned with a vacuum chuck.
20.Turn down the speed and work carefully to complete turning. The center dent will insert plate made of hard material.
21.Here I checked the dimensions of the body and noticed a mistake. The counterbore part with a diameter of 60 mm had become 50 mm. Since the through hole is 12mm, the screw chuck can no longer be used. As a countermeasure, the main body was tightened with M12 bolts and gripped with a three-jaw chuck.
22.The counterbore was successfully extended to 60mm.
23.The groove processing through which the fruit juice of the main body flows is complicated, and it is troublesome to draw the rules, so I cut out the cardboard with a laser machine and made a template. This is for a groove with an inner diameter of 80mm.Template
24.This is the template for the inner 60mm section. The center hole is for positioning.
25.Marking of inner groove.
26.Outer groove marking.
27.Carve grooves with chisel.
28.Cut off the dovetail for leg-1. Cutting the work peace fixed with clamp.
29.The bit used was a blade diameter of 12 mm and a shank of 6 mm.
30.Cut the dovetail for leg-2.
31.Cut the tenon on leg-2.
32.Cut the tenon on leg-1.
33.Chamfer the entire circumference of the lid with roundover bit. Use a start pin to prevent kickback.
34.Drilling 15mm to attach the knob.
35.Make a board that sticks to the inside of the lid with a ironwood. First, turning to 50 mm diameter.
36.Cut off at a thickness of 16mm.
37.Turn it upside down.
38.Make the knob with ironwood.
39.Make a wooden V-block. Iron V-blocks hurt the edge of the drill when the drill penetrates. First, the relief part in the center of the block is processed with a 6mm bit.
40.Next, cut at 45 ° using a jig.
41.Cut the other parts in the same way.
42.When the two parts were glued together in the center, it looked like a V-block.
43.There is a risk of cracking due to insufficient strength just by bonding. Reinforce with two 8mm round bars. Drill 8mm.
44.Then hammer the round bar.
45.Sanding.
46.Making a SUS pipe to extract the juice. Hold a 12mm diameter round stick on a woodworking lathe. Then mark the holes and cuts. Using the index plate of the lathe to mark the 90-degree position.
47.Drilling 3mm pilot hole.
48.Cut to about 47mm in length.
49.Sanding with a belt sander so that the tip is at 118 degrees. The final was finished with # 240 belt.
50.It becomes a mirror surface when it is polished on a lathe.
51.Center drill, the other side.
52.Drilling 6mm.
53.Drilling 5.5mm on a wooden V-block.
54.Drilling 9mm.
55.Polished with a # 240 file.
56.This is SUS pipe for taking out fruit juice.
57.Bevel the hinge mounting part of the main body and the lid so that the shaft of the hinge does not hit.
58.Drilling a pilot hole with a hingedrill.
59.Hinges can be attached without slippage.
60.Illustrations of fruits were engraved on the lid with a laser machine. This is my first time processing a vector, but I was able to print it just like a photograph. After watch the video.
61.Painted with "Kigatame ace".
62.Adhere the SUS pipe to the body with a two-part epoxy adhesive.
63.Juice falls down through this pipe hole.
64.Also make a pot to receive the juice. The material is scrap wood of ironwood.
65.The pot dish used a junk conical cup. Cut off with a diamond cutter.
66.It was able to cut it.
