In week 5 and 6, we continued building the planter boxes. Some teams are almost done with theirs, and even got to put plywood sheathing on their finished frames. Because we had the day off on Friday the 16th, some students were able to come in for an extra day of building where a lot was accomplished. In week 6, some students started cutting out pieces of sheet metal that will later be attached to the outside of the planter boxes.

This week, we continued our work from the previous week, assembling the frames of the planter boxes. Next week, a couple teams will move into putting the actual plywood siding onto the planters. After two weeks of learning how to use our tools and going over safety, we had a smooth transition into the first part of the Da Vinci Rise structure; the planter boxes that will go around the structure. We are using our new knowledge of different nailing techniques to build the planters, and we learned how to best measure and mark on the wood to aid in making the structure exact. |
