Spencer's Eagle Project
July 2008
Spencer worked with Humane Borders on his Eagle Project. Humane Borders is a nonprofit organization that maintains a network of water stations along Arizona's border to save lives. He built 30 water container holders to be donated to the group. |
Spencer divided his workers into groups and taught each group how to do a part of the project. Mr. Kittredge was in charge of cutting the wood into perfectly-sized pieces
 | 
Mr. Meiers inspects each piece of wood before it proceeds to the cutting table. |
Spencer teaches Mrs. Moreash which end of a hammer to use on the nail.
|
 |
Mr. Vullo and Nico put the finished sections together to form the box which will hold the water barrels
 | 
Spencer carefully supervises his crew. That is not Jeffrey using a power drill! |

 |
Jeff, that's some fine hammering technique there!
 | |
This picture of Mr. Vullo enforcing correct hammering techniques has been deleted. |
 | | Better get that call, Jeff, it might be the president. |
Mr. Kittredge, still busy at the saw..
| |  |
| The completed boxes go back to the painting station. Mrs. Kittredge gives them a coat with the power sprayer and then the rest of the crew hand paints them to perfection |
 |
And the award for cutest painting crew members goes to...
 |
Joey and Natalie!
 |
 |
Sorry, Augie, it was a close contest...
Well, not that close. |

You missed a spot, Brandon!

Mr. Kittredge STILL cutting wood! |
 |
Mr. Vullo demonstrates his skill at constructing a perfectly square box form
 |
 |
Mr. Meiers and Mr. Vullo drill holes
|
 |
The jig table Spencer built for the assembly crew, and Mr. Vullo still managed to make some of them crooked. Okay, maybe that was mine that was a little crooked...
|
 |
And the last two boxes are painted and...
 |
| |
We're done!! Great job, everyone! We couldn't have done it without Spencer bossing us around.. I mean without Spencer's masterful leadership!!
