It's a bird, it's a plane... no it's Phoebe!

Grant & Phoebe have been excitedly planning a visit to the Vancouver Fan Expo this coming weekend. This meant Phoebe needed a cool costume. She of course was more than capable of creating her own and opted for a steampunk design. A long coat, vest and top hat made up the bulk of the costume. The mask was scratch built by Phoebe from paper mâché and sculpting epoxy. Grandma sewed up the head harness to keep the mask comfortably in position under the watchful eye of Phoebe.

Round and round we go

One of the things we often do is cut large pieces of steel into small bits and then weld them back together again in all sorts of interesting shapes. Today’s project was to weld the pre-cut I-beams into a giant circular beam which will hold up the roof of the biggest tower in the Copper Crown suite. We’ll soon be welding up a second large circular beam for the North Star suite as well as a bunch of other cool structural steel.
