First Day Project 8/25/10

For our first day we were assigned to construct something to lift a cinderblock over 12 inches off the ground. Well instantly this made me think about my Akita, Lady.

At the end of her life she had severe hip dysplasia and would often need assistance getting her to stand. I figured if I could create something to go under my 150lb puppy and lift her, I'd just stick to the same structural idea. Thus this sling was born.

             Next I did attempt the newspaper table, but it didn't really work out. Which is fine cause my first idea works just fine!
Overall, I accomplished the mission while making a piece that can lift a cinder block as far as one can physically lift it.
