Manufacturing the rings
We have already taken delivery of the acrylic ring for the lightbulbs to hang in, which some of you will have helped to do on Tuesday.
After some complications with the aluminium construction we made a decision to change our designs of the other rings to be made from wood. We found that this was cheaper, of a similar weight and can be done much more quickly, which is what is now happening.
Our joiner, Gerry can be seen here having just cut out the rings that will next week be used to hang rulers, pencils and drawings from.
Gerry is using a router (the yellowy coloured machine in the photo above) attached to a rotating arm to cut all the circles. This generates a lot of dust, so in the photo below he is clearing this out with a metal ruler.
