Cable Car Progress


The cable care frame is made from 2-inch schedule 40 irrigation pipe. Why? It's easy to work with, is almost impossible to break and comes with lots of interesting connection joints (which makes my life much easier - I know the joints will line up....)


Here we see the walls going on the frame. Since the garage where I'm constructing the car slopes, I'm "floating" the walls. They will be levelled when I install the replica in the La Entrada school hall.


Lower walls on the frame. Making progress....
