… and an ‘after’ Satori looks like she’s half as big !

Work was fun today.. Had some out of town friends in which always makes things fun. I got home on the early side in time to see Avery and Morgan who’d come by for Yoga. Avery is just back from 4 weeks in Ghana.. she said it was awesome.

TOnight we had a great Burnign man meeting at David D’s house inBristol.. THere’s actually metal biegin cut. I cna actually see this thing coming togetther !.. Here are the large planetary gears that will make the carosel.

We also played wiht the scal e model to work out soem mechanical ideas.

Our secret weapon in building this thing is David’s water jet machine. it’s an amazing piece of technilogy.. it uses extrememly high pressure water (10,000 PSI.. squirted through a diamond nozzle) and fine garnet grit to cut through anything.. stell, grnaite, glass, foam, cloth, wood

Seriously.. anything !

David showed us some amazing things he’d made including his business cards that double as bottle openers..

and these cute tiny bicycles, 1/2 inch tall, that he cut out of stainless stell sheet.

I feel good about our progress.. we need to keep the momentum going..

Right now, my momentum is slowing.. gotta sleep. More tomorrow !
Nite all.. nite Sam !
