The eyes have it

The Skallywag Bay Adventure Park will have the coolest mountain in the middle. Monkey Rock will look over as the highest point in the park. It first lived only in my imagination. Then I sketched the ideas on paper.

Next came the study model to guide the rock builders.

Then the rock guys at Rock Werx started the build.  They've been at it over month and worked their way up from the bottom. Of late they have been working on the top portion. Today I received some pictures of progress.

Robot on the move

With the MultiCam lectern now pretty much done I've turned my attention to the router robot. We fabricated the table/base portion last week. Now it is on to the fun bits.

The first task is to weld up a steel frame and then laminate all of the pretty pieces around it. As with pretty much all of our creations the detailed planning is to design as we build. We made good progress. By tomorrow he should have his arms in place.

Still laughing

Years ago when we worked on the MultiCam office project we had to mesh our colors with an interior designer who was also working on the project. Our tastes and vision for the project didn't always agree. There were many rounds of negotiation and many changes as we proceeded. When we did the robot desk we painted the hoses a very bright lime metallic green as a joke. The owner of the office loved them and they remain that color to this day. The designer wasn't pleased.

Today as we painted up the MultiCam lectern for the trade show display the story of the office was again told with a smile. It was decided to paint the new hoses bright green in keeping with tradition - just for fun.
