Write problem/project Goal
to make the hangers of the spagetti bridge and figure out where to attach them.

My First Task
i will look at other types of hangers and then try and make a design for this project on the spaggetti hangers.

Summary of actual work over first weekend
what i did was exactly what i said i looked at hangers for bridges and then i started a 3d design but also made a scetch in my journal.

Week1 Narrative
during the week i made a scetch in my journal of the hanger i designed it had 4 pieces of spaghetti bound togthor attached to another set to make it longer. in 123d i made a cylinder by going undfer primitives clicking cylinder and then stretchin it out to form a cylinder and then i did this 8 times to make the equivelent of 8 pieces of spaghetti then i did the same thing and put a hole through most of it to make a rubberband and i did this 4 times.

My Second Task
i will test the spaghetti to make sure they do not have cracks in it,also i will finish asswmbling my design.

Summary of actual work over second weekend
this is what i said i would do because i tested a box and a half of spaghetti and then i did finish my design for my idea of the hanger but it will not be the final design.

Week2 Narrative
over the weekend i tested a box and a half of spaghetti by pulling them at the ends at the same time and tested each one individually. this is done to ensure that no weak peices are used in the bridge. As a result of doing this by hand i got the idea to have a machine do it by having something flat clamp down on the spaghetti and then pull at a certain amount of force until it equalled 30 pounds of force on the strand since that is what an individual peice of spaghetti can hold. then i finished my design by puuting all the pieces togethor so it was 4 sspaghtti pieces held togthor by a rubberband and there were two of these and they were attached at the end to increase the length.

My Third task
i plan to come up with a plan to make kits and instructions to get other people to make the hangers like we want them to.

Summary of actual work over third weekend
what i did was what i said i would using the final design i came up with a way to get people to mass produce the hangers so that we will not have to it will be using a picture and directions like building a model car. i also thought about how to improve the attachments but the way we came up with was the best so we will stick with that.

Week3 Narrative
over the weekend i made a 3d drawing of the final design to use as the instruction manual for people to see and assemble the spaghetti to match the picture like the instructions to making a model car. to do this i made 5 poles to represent spaghetti they were 10cm by 170cm. I attached one on to the end of another lengthwise to increase the length, and i did this twice, then the other piece was in the middle and i attched them so that they were the same length lon the sides and the middle piece was in the middle of the length.

My Fourth task
in the final week i plan to get people to buil the hangers and then if there is timne to attach them to the arc.

Summary of actual work over fourth weekend
what i planned was different because we were not ready to build alot of hangers so i continued to work on the kit, nothing was made by the people since it was not time and with nothing made there was nothing to put togethor.

Week4 Narrative
over the wekend i put the finalizing touches on the kit such as putting in spare peices and decided thet the peices can just be put togethor using superglue since it will be stronger. then i started working on the team page to get that done with the kit mostly done it is ready for the next group when they use it or they can just change the image that they want people to build.
