Parading On!

Were getting close to finishing the framework for the giant heart. We have actually held onto it a little longer than they would have liked. I'm a little concerned that when it leaves, it's gone for good, and there will be very little we can do if something doesn't fit quite right!

This is the mid section of the heart. The big square box is what the train bridge is going to sit down into.

The cnc cut out the framework for the bridge. I also had it pocket in a track for some 1/4" pencil rod. There will be a total of 4 of these. 2 pieces will clamshell together, covering the steel rods inside.

I also got the metal structure for the bridge all welded together. We used 1" squarestock for the top.

And the last steps for the day were to glue up the pvc frame around the metal structure.
Tomorrow I will cut some gusset details, and add the small rivet heads to them.
It was a pretty long day, and I still feel like crap!
