Physical Model Progress

For this week's goal in terms of the Physical Model of the CN Tower was to construct the pod , the revolving restaurant. Since the wood materials are not thick enough to make the whole pod, we cut out two circular pieces from the wood.


Using the extra piece of wood we had, the wood material of the revolving restaurant was cut out like this. 

These two pieces will then be glued together in order to make the revolving restaurant. However, we still need to make a bigger hole of these circular pieces so it can fit with the shaft of the tower. The difficult process will be making the restaurant actually revolve, which means that we will have to lathe the shaft. So far, the physical model looks like the following :
