Using an old KE transit, John, Gwen (Who shot most of these photos) and wizzard started making a radially oriented platform to build on (why stoop to the ground?) Shortly afer we started Charlie joined us as well. Everyone had a job.

John had laid out the platform in Auto-Cad. After placing 19 boards when we went to place the loast board it was off by 1/16' of an inch! Amazing on such a large structure!

Platform done, it's time to make teeth (waitin til monday for thinner wood for big arcs.)

Looking out John's kitchen, he can see progress on the platform.

Charlie took over the band saw. (He was dead set against doing it to start, but took to it FAST!)

med | big | huge

Laying out 13 teeth on the exact circle we drew on the inner circle of wood pieces. 13 is 1/4th of a circle-our first test to see if the teeth really do fit. Maybe a scosh big??? It's like 6:30 in the evening and there's a beach burn in SC we want to go to and a chance to tell people about it.

med | big | huge

Tomorow we'll test again with all 52 teeth we need for the smaller rings. If a bit long, we can adjust the size then. We're making 208 of them al togther (stacking 2 thick on each of 2 rings.) Should be a fun day!!
