As difficult as Spencer's Eagle project has been so far, we realized on Saturday that up until now it has been a piece of cake! Nine of us spent 6 hours trying to calculate, design, and assemble the final instrument for the project. We are so grateful to Brother Nielsen and Brother Chatwin who, with their expertise, made it happen!
Brother Chatwin, above, is Spencer's Teacher's quorum advisor. I still can't believe the effort and time these two Brothers contributed on Saturday. Brother Nielsen hosted us in his workshop and provided lunch for everyone, too (grilled hamburgers...yum!).
The end was the fun part. All the boys were playing around with the assembled pipes and making some great music and unique sounds!
The pipes almost sounded like a didgeridoo (try to spell that!).
Ta DA! The (almost) finished product! Brother Nielsen's grandson was the official tester. We discovered that you could make a better sound using flip flops to force the air through the pipes. Now we are just inches away from being able to deliver the instruments to the museum. Good job, Spencer!
This project has turned out to be amazing!!! I can't wait to see it in person one day. Great job Spencer!...and all those who have helped you.
