IT'S ALIVE!

(Wednesday, Sept. 10)

MANNY the mammoth IS ALIVE! We were able to slice him into life out of a 4x8 slab of 3/4" plywood with the use of the CNC router yesterday. We didn't originally take into account exactly HOW we were going to get him back to the studio, so we all piled up in David's compact car with me in the backseat chilling with (sitting on top of) the assortment of animal cut outs.
     Since I'm planning on attending a wedding in Colorado (and leaving tonight sadly), I decided to attempt to help a little bit more and assemble Manny in the studio. By the time I decided this, however, both the ranch and woodshop were closed, so I was left to roughly sand the pieces by hand. Let's just say there was a reason electric sanders were invented. 

Manny, with the new extra joint on back hip.
