As you know from my last blog post, my shuttlecock isn’t working very well.
I have now decided that I will make another shuttlecock, keeping in mind the things I can improve on.
I was shocked how hard it is to make the feathers in a circle.
I hope the second shuttlecock turns out well.
Stay tuned for the upcoming!
After hours of carving and sanding, I got the cork part of the shuttlecock. I then layered it with 3 layers of foam. After that, I put another three layers of foam on the flat side and glued on some feathers. It was surprising hard to get it right!
After that, I put another three layers of foam on the flat side and glued on some feathers.
At that point I tested it by throwing it up; it went perfectly well.
According to my plan, I was going to string it and tighten it, like teeth braces.
I did and tested it, I was devastated, it barely worked this time.
I cut the feathers vertically, and currently is sitting on my worktable.
Stay tuned for the next blog!
