Space Keyboard

I'm currently at KASB, which stands for Kunstakademiets Arkitekskoles Bibliotek, on the Royal Danish Academy campus. I finished my paper last night/early this morning and am now printing it out to turn in today. I'm having a hard time typing with this keyboard, as it has about 10 extra keys and my muscle memory is failing me. I've resorted to my grade school, pre "MavisBeacon Teaches Typing 10" practice of pounding each key individually with my fore fingers. I'm sure I look absolutely ridiculous.

Yesterday's shop day I actually cut short on account of the paper. I waited about an hour in line for the TIG welder, and snagged Hee to do the welds for me as I would need about 6 months of in-depth training on the TIG to even be able to join two pieces of steel. It would take another 18 months to learn how to not make it look like complete and utter poop.

After the welding, which took about 15-20 minutes, I took a Scotch-Brite pad to it and cleaned it up a little bit. Hee told me not to sand, as that would cause the chair to immediately start rusting. I actually had no idea that that was true. I knew all the grimy oil on it was to prevent it from rusting, but I guess I never really put two and two together.

So now today will consist of tons of measuring, marking, and making templates for each and every 6mm rod (all 15 of them). With them, I'll easily be able to cut each rod to it's necessary length and bend it quickly. Or at least quicker than by slightly bending, then comparing, the bending, and so on. I just want all (or most) of the templates cut first so I can get an idea of what the final chair will look like before making the leap of cutting and bending actual rod.

Pictures of the process to come. As well as one of this space keyboard with 3 extra vowels.
