We had hit the mother of all road blocks. After threading the skin on to the framework we discovered that the tension bowed the entire thing and the central support spine we had made was not holding.
After standing for about 10 minutes with our heads in our hands, we decided to get on with it. Louise (the practical one) experimented with a fairly rudimentary alternative, which seemed to work in theory. But then again so do many things, like maths and science.
All we could do now was head back to the workshop and re-do the spine.
Sighs all round.
