self-standing butter knives, bootsholders

First thing in the morning I drove to the department
store to deliver my boots holders. My gain was so much
in JPY...

They expect another 50 odd holders from me, fine.
On return I did somcoating, as you see below. These
are overdue, by a few weeks.







In the last above you see propellar like objects.
They are to be given away free of charge to a
friend of mine... I am not paricularly keen on them.

Most of m attention this afternoon had to go to
self-standing butter knives and what follows are
the handles to be, fabricated using my milling machine.



I did manage to make some near final versions, as seen below.



I also was conscious of the mass ? production of my
boots holders,



and in order to do that with due economy I need a shear
free constraining device, and what follows is an embryonic
idea...



I will have to see if this works, and on the butter knife side
I still am confonted with issues, that is, design issues. See
below.



With these schematics A is the current idea, and yet something like
B is also attractive... Question here is this. I could let them crane
as deicted here, but then sideways stability problems sneak in.

How am I to go about them, I still do not know...
On first sight they may be looking too much like
electric tooth brushes on the cradle...
