Swallowed by a Whale - Session 6 - Day 2

Tuesday was our first full day of building this week. Slowly the basic structures for the three parts of the whale have begun to emerge as we tinker and troubleshoot, make mistakes and learn from them! Today some tinkerers also learned to use new tools, such as the band saw:
