"Put some muscle into it!"

Zipping up my overalls, I realised I forgot the packet of Gingernuts that Katie keeps telling me to take to SIT.  (P.S It's for our smoko). Ready to get the day underway I can see all of the materials on the work bench. Walking around the bench I take a good look at what the model looks like. Looking down on the bench, a whiteboard appears that Andy brought over. The first step for today was measuring out the bull and making sure the size is going to be as good as it can be.  After that, we realised that we needed a beam to support the head so that the neck can stick onto the head and it will be more stable. The way that we were going to make this happen was to weld a steel beam into rounded circles.  There were two different circles, one was going to fit inside the neck, the other into the head.  We finally accomplished that, and headed onto making the neck.  This had to have a certain measurement or else it would not fit onto the body. The way that this was going to be rounded, it was by a hand roller. With Andy pushing the tin, I had to put some muscle into rolling the hand roller.  Getting rounded, the tin had to had a few touch ups. With all the materials that we have all made so far, it is coming into place. Finishing off the day at SIT, I washed my hands and felt a tap on my shoulder.  It was Andy with a two dollar coin that he found, and handed over to me.  This will go straight to the i-Pod fund.

Your Blogger out,

PS - This time, I'm out of my overalls because I'm back at Enrich for the rest of the day.-
