Rig Update 2

Rig Woodwork

Hey guys, quick update following our work today, all parts of the rig have been sawed off, and some sanded.

We will need to finish sanding the remainder of the pieces, giving them a good lick of paint, and finally nailing them together.

All in all we should get this done by the end of this month, which will give us ample time for testing and last minute alterations.

Fiducial Blocks

Also, we need to start looking out for balsam wood, it usually sells as 3mm or 5mm thick planks. I'm assuming that model shops would have) This is very flexible, light wood which we would be able to cut with a regular blade/penknife, sand to perfection, and finally stick fiducial and instrument images onto either side of the block.

Me and Sean had worked on balsam wood back in secondary school for a Scoops project, if secondary school kids manage to do it, we shouldn't have any major issues with it either.
