Hello, my project is coming to an end! In this post, I will discuss what I am going to prepare for In-Depth Night. Progress Report Since the last post, what I have done is I washed an entire bike. Indeed, I scrubbed every inch of it very diligently, including the frame and tires. Video: I also started replacing the brake pads on the purple Nevada bike. Obstacles/Frustrations I would say…
Progress Report Welcome to the fifth post of this project, which I would like to preface by saying that everything is coming together! It has been a wild ride and now I will share what I have been up to these past few weeks. Once again, I’ve had two mentor meetings, each extraordinarily valuable. At the first one (really the seventh), I learned about wheel truing from my mentor. Here…
Progress Report Hello! Astonishingly, the last time I posted about my In-Depth Project was in March and now it is April! Over spring break, I have had two more (the fifth and sixth) meetings with my mentor, both extraordinarily fruitful for both of us.

Progress Report It has been a while since the last post, so here is what I have done so far. The afternoon of the same day that I posted the Introductory Post (January 28th), I had my first meeting with my mentor.

Progress Report: Hello! It has been four weeks since I last posted here, so that means I shall give you a summary of my learning these past four weeks. First, I wove a basket. Surprise! The process of weaving it is a bit of a story. In the beginning, I had been meaning to make a wastebasket out of it, but then it got too wide, so I decided to…
Progress Report Here is my progress regarding my In-Depth skill, from this past fortnight: I solely continued weaving the cedar basket that I had started (a few weeks back) with my mentor. If I am really going to be honest, I will have to say that I was not super productive this past two weeks. However, I am planning to finish this cedar-guy tomorrow or over the weekend, and then,…
