The final day

The quest continues but with this being the last day we are going to do the most that we have ever done before. As the foil takes longer and longer. The airbrushing time runs out. And with no idea with what we are going to paint it like Plus our airbrush skill limited it is really going to be the hardest challenge yet. If we leave the airbrushing too late it will be a challenge to complete it because we can't rush it since if we do a bad job then fish might no even bite it.  And that would be a waste of all our hard work into this project. To find out what happens read my blog next week.

The beginning of the foil.

For the last 17 weeks Matt and I have been slaving away in the art bay, making lures. 
Recently we have just accomplished glueing them together.  
Next we face a challenging part that we have never done before.  
The foil! 
 This will involve glue, netting and tin foil. This will really push us to our limits. 
The outcome will be great but will we even finish it in time?
 To find out keep following  my blog and read what happens next.

Can you see the scales?

Glue!!

 For the past few weeks Matt and I have been stuck on bending the wire to fit our lures. It is really hard because you have to make it the right length otherwise it will bend when a fish is on it. For some reason, today was a good day for both of us because we accomplished a lot by together getting 3 lures glued together and clamped. I figured out that Matt is on a time limit because in two weeks he is going to France and Spain. So we REALLY have to be switched on and working hard out nonstop.

Hard words to pronounce

Clouds, did you know that there is more than one cloud types. Different cloud types mean different weather. Each type  of cloud has a different name and different weather they will bring to us. In the morning above us was Cirrus which means high icy clouds. I the distant I could see Stratus which is a thin layer of cloud that usually brings light rain.  There are some really weird names such as Cumulonimbus, Stratocumulus, Altocumulus and Cumulus. 

Chess

Today I challenge Reid, he lost most of his pieces early in the battle and with my Queen in the battle field he stood no chance, so check mate soon followed.

2nd To Top

Today I challenged Bruno. I lost my queen in the early stages of the battle, fought back well but it wasn't enough to win the game so Bruno won top spot on the leader board. It wasn't long until I asked for a rematch. Killing his pawns for the early lead. Then Bruno gave some piece's away for free which meant I was dominating the match. He fought back with his knight, queen and a few pawns. But it was no challenge for my queen, 2 rooks, 2 knights a bishop and some pawns. So I bet him reclaiming top spot. Bruno really wanted top spot so he challenged me again but we ran out of time to finish the game. So I am still in first, Bruno's in 2nd, Charlie in 3rd, Liam in fourth, Matt S in 5th and Luca in sixth.

Real bubbly drink

Dry Ice is dangerous because if it gets on your skin it burns in a cold way. Charlie got some on his hand and he said it hurts a lot. Thats why we had safety glasses  and gloves but it somehow got through Charlie's glove. We put water in a glass, then we put food colouring in  so we had some colour. Then we added some dry ice,  and steam started coming of it straight away. When we added dishwashing liquid it started bubbling - bubbles come flowing over the side in the colour of the food colouring.

THIS IS MY ONE

 I asked Katie if we could put water and dry ice in a container then put a balloon over the top.  The balloon started to blow up. We also blew up a normal balloon and dropped them both from the same height. Can you guess which balloon landed first  - the one we blew up with steam or the one we blew up with our breath?  If you guessed the one with steam then you are correct.

Finger Careful

You might be wondering why I put FINGER CAREFUL as the title?  Well we used 45 minutes rasping a job that an electrical sanders could do in ten minutes. Although we did have to be careful of our fingers because it was connected to the drill. We sanded it so well that it has a shape of the lures. Next week we plan to place the wire in the middle and tinfoil it.

This is me sanding my lure.
