This is the last day before end of this week. Parts milling was finished by 7PM which is about 80 hours since we started with the Tencellity Tower project. Elements were also varnished for better colour shade and waterproof features. At 8.30PM the assembly was still under maximum, involving almost all possible hands we have.

This morning started with heavy rainsfalls outside - weather forecast is not being friendlier either: rain will be present with stronger winds by friday

Theo surfing the milling machine: at some point extra weight of Theo was needed to keep the stock of plywood in its place

Waiting of the remaining last pieces to be milled; in background - Gabriel varnishing the elements

Alessio supervising the last elements being milled

The remains of the processed plywood were just too stylish to not include them in this blog

First three cells being joined together with next three cells

Look upwards already looks quite infinite - but so far it is 6 out of 20 cells
