Bulwark of Azzinoth: Set this Failure to Cataclysmic!

So day two(and three and four) began with disappoint.

Turns out the 3/8ths plywood was way too thick to just bend with steam. Upon releasing it from the jig it snapped back straight and some of the veneer tore off. That meant I had to go back to the special wood store for more special wood. Only it was new years eve and it was closed and wouldn't be open again till monday. Balls.

So instead of getting the wood together, I worked on the spikes!


Before I got to my dad's I picked up this nifty hot wire cutter that slices through foam like a hot wire through foam. It was fabulous.



Except when my hands decided to shake like Micheal J. Fox and this happens.


We also worked on the other block of foam carving out the concave curve. This was both exceedingly difficult and annoyingly time consuming. It alone took over two days of work.




So by the end of the weekend, we added some foam on top of the foam.
