Day 1 and 2

The project has begun!

In class we received blueprints and a Manila folder which we would be using as materials to construct the bridge.
   

For the first day we were to use our exacto knife to cut out strips of the folder in order to create bars for the truss bridge.Unfortunately due to my clumsiness my partner and I found ourselves able to make few bars on the first day.

To deal with this problem, I brought a straight edge cutter the second day and work progressed much quicker.

   


For the second day of class we managed to create several bars along with the beginnings of a tube to sustain the truss. Though our progress had been slow the first day, we have caught up this day and will likely move on to the actual setup by tomorrow. Wish me luck!
