Week of 10/21 - 10/25

This week I began by cutting out two circles that would stop the ball from rolling out of the bottom when they were being put into the screw. I attached them to the bottom of the screw and they work nicely.

I also began working on how actually to get the ball into the screw, so I just cut out a hole in the pipe and it seems to work well so far. Cutting the PVC pipe was pretty annoying but in the end, it was fine even if I cut off a little more material than I wanted.

After getting that done, I had to work on actually attaching the pipe to the board, so I cut a tiny piece that would bridge the gap on the bottom and glue those pieces together. I tested rolling the ball on the bridge as well as testing the bottom of the pipe and both seem to work well.
