Gearing up!

Well, sorry about the disappearance, we got locked out of our account. It is now fixed. Anyway, we are in full gear for the Lake Orion Flower Fair. It should be a great opportunity for us to get our name out there. We will have the Medium treb on hand to do some non-weighted, dry fires. We will also have our mini-trebs on hand for sale. If you are interested in buying one or seeing them in action stop by. Check an earlier post for our booth's position.
The mini-treb's first run went well. We completed 26 and they work very well. A whiffle ball will go about 20 some feet while a marble will go about 30 some feet. The distance can be increases if you can find more dense material to put in the box (we used rocks). After things get calmed down on the mini-treb construction and the Large treb construction gets going, we will look at doing other designs for the mini-trebs.
Speaking of the large treb, the construction is moving along. We have some of the lumber and we are close to ordering the rest. It's my fault that we don't have everything ready to go. I have been working on Sketchup and I still have some work to do. I expect to have it ready before next week. That includes the measurements for the CW, the measurements for the axle and the measurements for the lumber. I'll check back in later this week with some more updates.
