When I talked to James last night, he mentioned he needed to build a simple machine project for school. After I picked him up today and we went to Panda Express for dinner we came home and started on the project. After some discussion he built a Hot Wheels Car Tester. He did all the measuring, marking out and cutting on the band saw. Then he marked the holes and drilled them with the drill press and a cordless drill. Of course he and Parker had to do a little modifying of Hot Wheels with the drills. We sacrificed two Hot Wheels to that idea. Then James finished gluing and assembling the hoist.
Next we headed into the house to test it by knocking down domino's. It worked good and we had fun making it. That led to several games of Domino's. While we were in the shop making the last adjustments I had James hold the wing to my B-36 project. This is the first time the wing tips have been on the center section, looking pretty darn big!
Here is a short video of the first domino test.
