Over the past few work days, Ross has constructed boxes from recycled plywood and lumber, ripping and cutting materials to size on the table saw. Once completed and fitted with light fixtures, these will be suspended in the air illuminating plates of scintillation material below them. These will become, essentially, "fake" particle collectors (WaltArt style).Ian and Edgar have been helping to assemble and paint the light boxes.
Andrew works on another plate of scintillation material, to create the design before sand-blasting the material. He has cut his design using a box cutter and is ready for sand-blasting.
Edgar is making traction on his pyramid piece, first making a prototype of the pyramid out of scrap lumber in order to understand the dimensions of the larger piece and how the components will fit together. Eventually this piece will live atop the "brain"; however, at this point that seems like a long way off!
I have taken a flexible shaft drill to both surfaces of a plate of scintillation material. Originally I'd planned to use the sandblaster, then changed to the drill to have more control of the design. I am still digging out the tape that has worked its way into little crevices on the surface.
