news: project 360 - and the wheels start spinning

……well in truth, the first test pieces for how I would imagine the children's work could be exhibited are sort of spinning, in both design and in a forward direction. I've started to build a prototype of the 'flick-book viewer' one that can be easily built from cheap and easily worked materials quickly. The first task was to create the central spindle on which the sequence of frames will be attached within a form of presentation box. I've calculated on trying to use mostly card with only the main axel of wood and the individual spokes for each image card made from kebab sticks. The internal cylinder is the tube you find clingfilm of silver foil rolled around and a little paint goes a long way!

The holes for the image spokes are set at 2,5mm
 in from the outer edge. The diameter of the spokes
3mm.

Now with alittle bit of colour……
The flange diameter is 83mm and the central axel 15mm - a little wider then I
originally imagined but it was all I had at hand at the time. 

I've built two barrels on the one axel, combined length
390mm with each 'Kebab Stick' measuring 200mm.
