Week 10

As planned on Monday, Marcel and I went to the open lab from 1 to 5 pm. Shaolin was unavailable but he gave us a heads up. In open lab, we smoothened out the circles that were the tires, using sandpaper.

We went on to glue the tires together; 4 by 4. We utilized clamps to help them dry and hold evenly.

After the tires dried, we cut holes through the center of the tires so then can go into the axle. We utilized a cordless drill to make this cut easy and uniform. The drill was tricky to use at first, that'swhy I 've uploaded a link to a video on how to use a cordless drill, in the tutorial bar.

With our bike finished, we had to take it back with us so we took down the tired to wrap the frame in plastic bags, as it was raining.
