00:06Gary wants to incorporate the copper strip as a decorative feature

00:09within one of the rings of the armillary sphere.

00:13So we need to find some metal now that this can sit on.

00:16Yeah.

00:18If you had something that was closer and we had to wrap it,

00:21I don't think that'd be a problem.

00:22We could just round these off and just create a feature of it, really.

00:26All right, that's a good idea, I like that.

00:30The first step is to create the three rings that will make up the sphere.

00:38This machine is known as a pyramid roller.

00:41The top wheel pinches the metal and deflects it,

00:44bending it into an arc as it passes along the wheels below

00:47and eventually into a perfect ring shape.

00:52You can really see it taking shape now, can't you?

00:56Done.

01:01That looks about right.

01:03Yeah, spot on.

01:04OK, so we're going to weld this.

01:14With the first ring finished, David has two more to make

01:17to complete the armillary sphere.

01:23That's going to work a treat.

01:25Before welding the rings together permanently,

01:28David checks the dimensions are spot on.

01:31So that's Atlas.

01:34That's there, at that sort of angle.

01:37Yep.

01:38And we need the arrow coming up.

01:42But they're all effectively at right angles to each other.

01:44Yeah.

01:44Brilliant.

01:45See you soon.

01:45Bye.

01:47Bye.

01:49Bye.
