Nyt og gammelt -- Something New and Something Old

     Måske kan du huske Pentominoerne fra juleferien. Nu er der kommet en ny brik til, af et helt andet materiale end træ.

Maybe you remember the Pentominoes from the Christmas holiday? We have a new piece. And it's not made of wood.

     Her er den sammen med de 11 andre.
Together with the eleven other pieces.

     Og her er den helt alene. Hvordan er den mon lavet? Prøv at gætte det.

And all by itself. Anyone dare to guess how it was made. Make a guess now

Så kommer løsningen.

     Her er brikken i gang med at blive printet ud. Et lokalt bibliotek havde snigpremiere på deres 3D printer, og Uglemor og de tre mindste Ugleunger var henne og kigge. Det var morsomt, men for pokker, hvor gik det langsomt. Brikken her, der består af fem moduler på 1 x 1 cm tog 35 minutter! Og den er oven i købet hul.

Here's the piece in the printing process. A local library had a sneak preview on their 3D printers to be installed later on. MotherOwl and the youngest Owlets were there. It was fun, but gosh it's slow. This small piece, made form 5 modules each 1 cm x 1 cm took all of 35 minutes. And it's even hollow.

     Som modvægt til alt dette moderne, tog vi så hen til en nærliggende arbejdende smedje fra 1920'erne. Der så vi, hvordan man fremstillede hestesko. Ugleungerne fik endog lov til at slå på det gloende jern. Her er det Spirillen, der får lov.

Then we needed something old. An old, working smithy nearby was open for visitors. It's from the 1920ies, but still in working order. The Owlets saw how horse shoes were made, and even had a go on striking the red hot iron. Here's Marsupilami ready for work.
