JK-chan is much handier to have around the house than I am.

 

[drmana]

Did she drill the holes by hand? With just a drill bit? That is pretty hardcore.

Thank you for the chapter.

 

[Lunkli]

It's the ABC's!

Oh, I was going to add this to the credit page but I forgot. I'm expecting to receive my copy of Mitaina! vol 8 early this week. I may or may not release chapter 8 as part of the weekly releases depending on time. Getting it done for the 28th when I still don't have the book in hand now is... optimistic, given the time of year. Worst case chapter 8 will be out around mid-January - then we'll be up to date with publication.

That's pretty smart. I usually use rattlecans outside, but that sort of box-fan contraption would be very useful for spraying indoors. Thank you for the translation!

Unless the saw was really terrible, in which case she should have got another one, she went through much more work this way. If she was using a power drill, be it corded or cordless, it would have naturally made a big difference. I have a feeling woodwork isn't this mangaka's forte.

 

[thobong]

Wow there. I know she is a cutie pie, but the sight of a lady doing woodwork with tools and her big smiles at the end are incredibly beautiful!

Thanks for the new chapter.

 

[Acrelorraine]

She needs to pay more attention to her surroundings.

 

[animan095]

Oh, new character!

 

[ItsMe10293]

That expression is so good

She definitely ended up doing more work, but the point of that scene was she applied a method typically associated with plastic modeling to woodworking.

Who is Iroha?

Is that fan powerful enough that you can leave the front open without a sash/curtain and still have good suction?

 

[Korvalus]

At first this chapter weirded me out. Boxes with inbuilt air sucking, just for that? I though it was just some modelers being fastidious or that I was missing something by not airbrushing.
Then I remember those things are essentially miniature versions of the air extractor boxes some of my FLGS have for spray priming models. True, they're a bit different in design and not for the same purpose but...

It's a "better" design for fumes than the venting fan she was using the previous chapters. If you've been to a chemistry lab, you've probably seen one. It's mostly the same design as a fume hood, which is great for working with volatile chemicals and aerosols, like from spray cans and airbrushes. But since her box so small it doesn't really have the same advantage. The working area is still outside of the box and she still has to spray at the box like she was before. Without a sash you don't really take full advantage of the design since the fan is sucking a lot of air from outside of the box, instead of the air and vapors inside a mostly enclosed box. Not to say it wouldn't work as is, but it wouldn't take a lot of modification to get the most out of it. If it's big enough to fit her hands and either the can or the airbrush, she just needs to cover the entrance with something transparent, with enough clearance to allow her hands and the equipment inside the box.

called it on the airbrush problem. they're really foolproof and won't fail you, most of the time, it's a blockage problem.
