Exploration 5 armatures






18 awg solid strange aluminum wire, 32 awg copper wire, 1/8" dowel and oil based clay.
A drill was used to twist the aluminum wire, layers of balsa wood were notched and glued to hold the joints, both armatures stood prior to clay application. The armatures worked surprisingly well, particularly for it being the first time I have ever attempted anything like this in such a short time.

I think carrying this project to the end of the semester would have made a huge difference in the quality. The amount of time given was simply not enough. The upper class man stated that the class was too slow paced, adding this project solved that issue, however, the next project adds too much and shortens the time frame too much. I will mention this in the course review as well.
