Two Days to Go: Sunday, Jan. 24
We spent the day making last-minute decisions about various aspects of the model and choosing the proper coordinate system. It is all getting a little complicated, and it was a pleasure to finally be outside carving snow on the practice snow block that I spent a month making. The two photos are from the start of the day. By day's end we had some nice carving done on the block, and tomorrow we will remove more weight and then see if our predictions about the center of gravity are accurate.
In the photo below the designer David Chamberlain is seated at left; Dan Schwalbe, formerly at Macalester is standing at left, I am holding the sculpture, and Rich and Beth Seeley fill out the group.
