Rogier is now familiar with the technique of welding wood. When I asked him to set up the construction of the new toilet seat, he had no difficulty in selecting the right size nails, width and thickness of sheet metal, and then a good position for the wooden parts to fit nicely together. He does the nailing swiftly, the sheet flows around the wood, and there are no sharp bits sticking out.
Yet this is only the eighth joint he has welded. Does this prove that the system of Welding Wood does what it promises: offering real strength in connections between wooden parts, without the need for professional abilities?
The two interns Leonora and Petz checked it for themselves. They found the welding OK, but had several remarks on the effectiveness of the manual.
I will discuss these with the girls today and make the appropriate changes.
