Since many of the shapes that make up the components of the diving helmet are circular in shape, I have refamiliarised myself with the lathe, and subsequently lathed several of the pieces that make up the helmet. The tranciever Recess, the two viewports on the sides of the helmet, and part of the exhaust valve.

I have begun with these basic shapes but hope to begin to make the bonnet soon. The rhino drawings should help me to create a former which I can use to help me make the bonnet's shape.

Rhino Week
This week, to get my head around how I am going to make the diving helmet, I made a model in rhino from plans I bought from ebay. This model has helped me to break down the helmet into its component parts. This way I can make a clear plan of action with regards to how I will make the helmet, and how long each piece should take.
