I worked with Professor Hills on developing my design and then we met again with the design to put into a digital format so that it could be placed on the plasma cutter. Making the decision to do these steps gives me the chance to learn how to use the cutter and the digital program. This method will allow me to cut approximately 160 identical feathers that I can then refine and develop before working to place them on the frame.
I took the original frame from my previous project and worked on breaking it down by removing the top round section and crossbars. Once I got those removed, I made my measurements of where I needed to cut on the base of the frame to remove the lower section. After I removed the lower section, I went back and ground down some of the areas that were rough. Doing this cleaned up the metal which will make it work better when I weld the new section to it.
