Yesterday went sideways, and there was zero time left for welding. Today I had the whole day to finish off the welding on the poop deck. The first order of business was to use our trusty Fastcut CNC Plasma to cut the skeleton pieces and centre for the ship’s wheel. It took a while to weld up the large rivet heads as end caps on the spoke handles, but once that task was finished, the wheel went together quickly. Matt attached the lath to the wheel before we welded it into place. By day’s end, I had formed and welded the balance of the pencil rod to complete the armature. Next week, the crew will tie on the lath to prepare it for the concrete skin. Just before the crew went home, Cap’n Matt manned the wheel for a pic.
