Show & tell

This week I have been making a few things. Here is a electric motor I made on Wednesday, It is from Opitec. First I cut the pine strips and glued them in place, then I made the bearing block, then the motor by winding the copper wire windings around the bits of metal and did a few other things then wired it up to the battery then tried it.

 



Here is a spider that I made out of ready cut balsa wood.
All you have to do is sand it then assemble and glue it.
Yesterday a bit of its two front legs broke but its not really noticeable.
                                         

This is a axe I carved out of some pine wood that my friend let me take from his wood pile. I carved it with my new chisels and files mum got me and Caleb from B&Q.

That's a really cool spider that you built. I have a T-Rex robot that's made out of wood that I got at a museum in South Carolina. When my dad helps me build it I will put a picture of it on my blog.

You carved that yourself? I'm very impressed. I see people carve things with chain saws around here--bear cubs in trees and eagles nesting, but your ax is very, very good!

That is really awesome! You must be very smart and you must also have a very good mom to get you all of these neat projects!
