木製茶筒の試作

茶筒には様々な材質の物があるが、ブリキ缶の物が最も一般的である。高い遮光性や密閉度が茶葉を湿気や酸化から守ることに加え、軽量で充分な強度があることや、製造コストが比較的リーズナブルであることもその理由だろう。

ギフトセットなどでは写真のような様々な図柄の茶筒があるが、いざ茶筒だけ欲しいとホームセンターなどで探しても１種類置いていればいいほうで、とても選ぶような品揃えはない。インターネット通販で探せばいろいろあるけど、嵩があるから送料で結構な値段になっちゃうよね。以前ワークエクスチェンジで当地に滞在した人は、ここで作った自家製茶を保管するのに、同じデザインの安価な茶筒を入手し、違う絵柄の和紙をその表面に巻き付けて種類分けしていた。外観も綺麗にアレンジされて良いアイデアだと思うね。

ちなみに毎年春に大量に製茶する自分は、茶葉を大きなタッパーに入れて冷蔵庫で保管しているので、現状では茶筒を必要としているわけではない。にもかかわらず木製の茶筒を作ってみることになったのは、

・倒木材の活用研究 ・所持工具や設備の加工能力の検証 ・加工プロセスの研究 ・当地滞在者へ木工アイデア提供

といった理由からだ。

薪狩りに出た際にいろいろ物色したが、程良い太さのヒノキ倒木を見つけ、硬さもこれぐらいが丁度良いんじゃないかと考え、一部を切り出して工作室に運び込んだ。さらにそこからクラックや節穴などが極力少ない部分を選んで必要充分な長さを切り出した。

デコボコした表面に鉋がけをして大まかに円筒を作っていく。この時点でヒノキ独特の木目と芳香が醸し出される。両端の切断部も側面部に垂直になるよう削って調整していく。

この円筒を本体と蓋になる部分に分割切断し、印籠構造で接合出来るようにそれぞれの端部を加工していく。先ずは蓋側を一定径および深さになる���う掘り込んでいくのだが、これにはボール盤を使う。汎用ドリルビットで出来るだけ密に開孔した後、ボアビットに変えて粗仕上げしていく。この方法をとるのは、以前別の製作をした時に、ボアビットだけで切削していったら負荷が大きく、時間も多く掛かり非効率だった経験から。

本体側の端部もノミとヤスリで削りながら、蓋部と絶妙な「はめあい」になるよう調整していく。さらに蓋を填めた状態で本体との間に段差がないよう鉋で側面を削って調整する。

印籠構造が確立できたら、本体の内部をくり貫いていく。方法は蓋部と同じだが、深くて一度の切削では奥まで届かないのでボール盤の作業テーブル高さを変更し、二段階のプロセスで掘っていく。

さらにその後、ひっくり返して底部を切削する。こちらは筒の安定立ちが目的なので、周囲に脚部となる土手を残し中央を数ミリだけ掘り下げる。

ヤスリを使い、ガタなく立つよう底面脚部を摺って調整し、蓋の頭頂部も滑らかに丸みを帯びるよう削ったら、最後に外側をラッカースプレーでコーティングして完成。本当は外側だけでもじっくりサンドペーパーなどかけて磨き上げてやれば、表面の傷も凹凸も無くなり木目もより鮮明に浮き出て格段に綺麗に仕上がるが、いかんせん忙しく時間も無い中突貫で作ったから恐ろしく荒さが目立つが、今回は試作と言うことで（言い訳）。

木製の茶筒も茶葉保管性は良好とされるが、今回使用したヒノキのような材料は良くも悪くも独特の芳香を持っている。それらが茶葉に移っても全く気にしないとかむしろ歓迎だと言う場合は直接入れて保存しても良いと思うが、そうでない場合は写真のようにポリ袋に入れた物を茶筒にしまえば問題ないだろう。ちなみに今回試作した物は自家製茶50g強を入れる事が出来た。挽いたものならその何倍も入るけど、逆にそれ用にするならもっと小さく作ってもいいよね。粉末はより酸化して風味が劣化しやすいから茶筒にしまうメリットも大きいか��知れない。

okay i go back on my previous statement regarding leaks my friend just sent me this video and i DESPERATELY needed to share it

i'd just like everyone to know that when fabian gifted adaine a worm in a box it did not occur to me once that it was a literal worm until it started talking. i had no doubt in my mind that it was a fuzzy blue worm on a string in a gold box that she was going to wear like an earpiece/hearing aid.

Canonically disabled characters in podcasts cause I feel like it

- Juno Steel - The Penumbra Podcast (visually impaired)

- Rudyard Funn - Wooden Overcoats (technically not canon but basically has every symptom of autism)

- Arthur Lester - Malevolent (visually impaired)

- Brain Jeeter - The Strange Case Of Starship Iris ( has a disability that gives him trouble breathing though I don't remember if they specify exactly what)

- Lucille Kensington - Where The Stars Fell (I believe chronic pain though I admit I haven't listened to the show. She uses a cane)

- Nicholas Waters - Archive 81 (chronic pain. He uses a cane)

- Sydney Sargent - Camp Here And There (psychosis, autism and chronic pain)

(extra fun fact all these characters are canonically queer accept Arthur though ppl are still holding out hope for him)

"Bruce Wayne can't cook to save his life." That's a load of bullshit. Listen Bruce can cook, he just doesn't have the time for it, and the fact that he hardly passes as functional human being.

You can't tell me that in all his traveling he hasn't picked up something. If he can remember miniature details for a case that was three years ago, he can remember recipes.

Listen other than Alfred, Martha Wayne was the only person who knew how to cook. Martha wasn't going to let her son become like his father it that department. She and Alfred taught Bruce everything from the correct utensils to how to properly spice meat, "BBQ spice is not for chicken Master Bruce, have some class."

That was one thing Alfred and Bruce still kept doing after his parents died, and because of this he becomes an amazing cook.

When he meant Taila, trust and believe that she went Gordon Ramsey on his ass when she taught him how to cook the meals of her homeland (that's when he fell in love with her. I refuse to believe anything else on this matter), and obviously as he traveled he gained more knowledge on different dishes. Most from his masters and some from random old ladies that he came across.

The problem comes when he desides to take over the company and become the cities regular furry problem. He just doesn't have time and this leads to his kids never finding out. They grow up knowing that Alfred cooks. They also don't know that on rare occasion that Bruce is free he would sneek into their apartments and make food that can be frozen and reheated, because just like him, his kids can hardly pass as functional.

And that's how Jason found him, one random Tuesday. There his father was, floating around in a black AC/DC t-shirt, gray slacks, sparkly pink crocs(Dick), Jason's apron (because Jason is the only kid that knows how to cook) and the Rolling Stones playing form a speaker that was definitely Tim's. Bruce only glances at him before speaking, "Go change, wash your hands, then come cut the carrots." then goes to drain the pasta, and because Jason is to stunned to speak he goes without a word.

Jason doesn't bring it up, so Bruce won't bring it up.

One thing he does do every night is make Damian, Duke, Tim and Steph's school lunch. He strongly objects to the idea of his babies eating Gotham Academy/University powder egg shit. No sir.

That's how the family found out. That was funny.

"I once saw you put salt and vinegar Lay's in bread."

"Not my finest moment."

They tell Dick. He laughs in their face until he sees his dad in his kitchen cutting onions without flinching or wiping his eyes.

"You have no soul."

"Yes I don't. Wash your hand and cut that baby marrow."

"But I don't like baby marrow." he complained as he washed his hands.

"I have no soul, right?"

Dick sticks out his tongue, he get whacked by a wooden spoon.

naur i've said some version of this before but i truly think will h2o just add water would have been far more sympathetic with a better actor. i am sorry to that man but luke mitchell's line delivery, expressions, and overall charisma are piss poor, i truly do not believe a word he is saying as will benjamin which makes the character fall completely flat. characters like zane, charlotte, hell even the villain girlies like miriam and sophie are far more sympathetic and believable precisely because their actors know how to do just that: act. even nate is a more compelling screen presence because you can tell jamie timony believes in his performance. will's actor phoned it in, and it shows
