Nothing like the smell of sawdust.

Yesterday, with the help of my Dad, I started cutting out pieces for the head of R6-C9. Unfortunately I didn't get as much done as I was hoping. First we couldn't find my Dad's router. When we did, we didn't have the right router bit. By this time we only had an hour before I had to leave so I could be at work on time. But I did manage to get one whole piece cut out. And I have PICTUUUURES!!!! I'll have them up on my website by the end of the week (I hope). The next time we can get back to my Grandfather's shop, I want to try and have the wood for the head's ribs and a more detailed plan of how we'll fit everything together.

Stay tuned for more details.

The time has finally come. If the Lord is willing, me and my Dad will start cutting some pieces for the head this Tuesday. It won't be much, but it'll at least be a start. I can't wait. And I promise to have some pictures for you all.
