Week 3 - Dead Ant !

Week 3 saw a big jump in progress and looks - now its starting to lokk like its down to bare frame
A little to go yet but getting there
And its a bit dirty still so there's big hints going round about the water blaster again !

A pictures worth a 1000 words so look at these

And the wheel is off and gone to the tyre fixer to get fixed !
The girls were so patient in getting the tyre off but we got there

This week they learnt a whole lot of new terminology apart from the usual "TOOL WORDS"

Words like curclips, gear puller, gearbox linkage, reciprocating saw, all added to the vocabulary mix when we wanted something done but it was great fun and they were here at school this morning at 7:30 - in old clothes - ready to "attack" the mower before school

We definitely have some budding engineers, mechanics and designers in this group and its going to get better !

 We discussed drilling out the rusty screws and tried but the screws were too hard and the new steel drill just "tickled it !"



 Some of the girls said they would rather do the taking apart of the mower than the painting so we swapped people round to the new jobs
 motor cover with its first coat of paint
 Dead ant impersonation with a wheel off !
This is what we wanted to get to - the chain and sprocket so we can see where the motor is going to go
