FX Update in Progress
Lots going on, lots left to do!
The vacuum former is stalled; currently needs wiring work for the electrical aspect, as well as supporting bars and/or a heat-containing lid. Also frames for holding plastic, which may be as simple as 2x2 squares in different dimensions.
The blood pump is also stalled, but ready to be mounted and powered. I have pneumatic gear, but am probably lacking limit switches to control it.
Phil and Yvonne continue to perfect their teeth work, progressing through the grinding and finishing stages, and improving their skills at molding and casting.
Robin went out to the Corner Shoppe and found a very nice, old, crufty pair of horns that I'll be modifying to fit onto Elmo. That will save me a lot of sculpt work!
I've been continuing on the Demon sculpt, Nathan's Elmo, and it's almost ready for mold-making! I'll be making the mold for it this coming weekend, ready or not. When I make this mold, I'll probably mold other random things, too.
I'll also be making a plaster (or plastic!) positive of my lifecast mold this coming week or weekend, so I can start the backup demon sculpt.
I set Phil and Debra to work preparing the rings of the vortex tunnel -- nearly a hundred holes drilled and eye-bolts prepped and inserted. Next up: welding the eyebolts into place and making the wire cable assemblies.
We also talked a bit about some radical vortex bridge designs that I need to do some design follow-up on this week.
Jean did some follow-up work on the burner, and it's beautiful! Next up, she may attack the andirons for the fireplace if I don't side-track her into making the cage circles for the vortex tunnel/bridge.
Maria, an talented and cheerful new volunteer, has been to the lab twice now (once with her sister and friend) and is sculpting skulls to be molded and formed as decorations for the fireplace, bookshelves, and other such furniture.
Speaking of the fireplace, Joe is going to (soon, I hope) fire up his nifty CNC wood router and make some decorative pieces for the face of that. Exciting!
The onsite crew also did a bunch of hefting and shifting this previous weekend, with more to come next weekend -- moving the Creepshow materials to the lodge! Things are going full-speed ahead now, with both onsite and offset crews active.
