Alright! It has been a long time since my last post. I even had to look at the last post to see where i was at prior to grinding through a massive paper at Wintec. That is now over so i have been getting back on my feet which oddly started with cleaning my room! Seems very odd however all i have had time for is the project and work so to do something for myself was nice.
Anywho onto the balloon. Still having issues with my machine and the machine i was going to borrow fell through so in the next week or so i might have some new ballooning gear such as a new machine. Hopefully i can get a head that fits my table. Hopefully after that happens i will be able to start practicing.
As mentioned in my last post i purchased a tank which is really dirty so this weekend i am going to polish it up and make it look a little nicer. I also received my buckles and tape so once i have a machine that runs right i will start sewing some tank straps.
In other news i might be in the hunt for a new cutting table to finish off the last panels. Hopefully this wont be the case as i only have about two days of cutting left until the next phase. Lastly i have a purchased a hot knife to cut tape and rope. It seals the ends and stops fraying. I have decided to save money by borrowing a folder and swapped from nylon to polyester thread (with pre-wound bobbins). Once i am at a machine that works i will be away laughing until the first mechanical or mental dysfunction.
