Flash Back Friday: June 9th 2009 - Day 2 of building R2-TD

Day 2 of R2. I think I've decided to name him R2-TD with the nickname Touch Down. Tonights build was again productive. I finished glueing the legs and they will be dry soon so I can put the finishing touches on them.

Then I started making the mounts where the dome will rotate from. It took a few tries to get the holes lined up but I was able to finish it with a little help from my friend Jason. Here's a picture of the parts made tonight.

We also picked up a sheet of ply wood to start on the frame. Here's Moose getting ready to cut the first pieces.

Once the frame is complete, this is what it should look like.
