February Friday 27th


The Big machine is done and we're getting ready to fire it but first right now duck tape is the only accessorie we are using to guide the ball through the tunnel smoothly we also tighten the rope  A lot of tension is on the rope so much tension we split the wood in 4 spots 
Jermie is making the holder for the ball it launches the ball through the tunnel smoothly while peter and jack Make side rails to guild the chuck through 

This is the split wood under all the tension it's split into 4 spots
