the rest of the weekend

Saturday it rained all day, and rather than trying to get any construction progress on the aerial frame, i went to Town Meeting alomg with [livejournal.com profile] klingonlandlady. I wont bother with any details; Town Meetings can be boring and draining enough when you *have* an interest in the results. Watched Tim Burtons "Big Fish" on DVD saturday night. Liked it. There's only one film this summer that i am waiting for; Burtons version of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".

Sunday it was back to construction, as it was only occasionally misting for most of the day. [livejournal.com profile] sensesurfer came over, we set up the canopy in case of downpour, and [livejournal.com profile] sensesurfer did surface prep on parts i had previously sliced out on the plasma machine, and cut out sections of 4x4 steel tube stock. Meanwhile, i camped out under the canopy and welded things until my butt fell off. [not literally, of course, though i suppose if it did, well, there *was* a welder available...]

The crane bar is mostly finished now. I'll hopefully get to finish it this coming friday. Sometime this week i need to make 8 more column connectors, pick up some more Macropoxy 646, and slice out more triangles and connector caps on the CNC table.

Tonight, off to silk practice.
