Breakthrough

So today we made a breakthrough with our frame idea.

The idea is that we make four stands to hold the main bar.


For the frame structure we'll be using copper piping (which our material sourcers got from the scrap yard).





We also started to think about health and safety and how we could make the ends of the partitionings safer. So we filed them down and folded some edges inwards.

However, we're still thinking of placing a guard around the top, to perhaps make it even more safe.


By the end of the day we had placed on the lead weights, bolts and nuts onto all the partitionings and experimented with how many weights were needed on each partitioning depending on their height. 
(Although this is likely to be altered once we actually have all the partitionings on to the frame)
