From Bits to Atoms.

We moved into the temporary 3D Studio space on the Fourth Floor while the first floor space mentioned earlier is being constructed.

The 3D Studio in 3D space !!  The collaborative dream of ScottWorld!!

The week started with a great Molding & Casting demo by a local Reynolds Advanced Materials guru. Images are included below.

I started constructing a block mold container using a sheet-metal cylinder in preparation of Block Molding. (The next week, Prof said it would leak and completely redid mine using clay). Lucky me!

The end of Week 4 was the initial offering of ProfScott’s of Sunday “worship/workshop” services. Best decision I made, was to get work off for this first Sunday service.

Hallelujah! Truly, ‘saved’ my posterior!
