Very Carefully .....................  Aug 19, 2018

I have spent so much time in the shop building these new pieces that I have just lost track of how many hours I have spent lately.   The revelations of finally looking at his drawings and trusting in his details are just now coming into focus.  No one will be more surprised than me when the pieces are finally assembled to test.  The unbalanced condition is caused by the movement of a number of levers and strings.  Just like Karl said.....  I feel like the aluminum that I am using will give us a leg up on longevity compared to the materials that Bessler had in his day, but I always reminded that wood is the ultimate composite material.

I found these quotes from Leonardo DaVinci on the internet, but I cannot be sure of their authenticity, however

“some foolish men will accuse me of being uneducated. They will say that because I did not learn from their schoolbooks, I am unqualified to express an opinion. But I would reply that my conclusions are drawn from firsthand experience, unlike the scholars who only believe what they read in books written by others” 

[i]"These scholars strut around in a pompous way, without any thoughts of their own, equipped only with the thoughts of others, and they want to stop me from having my own thoughts. And if they despise me for being an inventor, then how much more should they be despised for not being inventors but followers and reciters of the works of others."

I am watching and listening to the other Bessler research sites, and still do not see anything showing up like what I see.  The most interesting of all is its simplicity.

There are still parts to build and much to say,  but for now I am still seeking........   4
