Day 1 building hubs

Today we learned about hubs and took apart (and successfully reassembled) 4 different hub types. There are 13 of us in the class, including two guys from Alaska, one from Missouri and one from North Carolina, but most are from the California/Oregon areas. The cone style hubs pictured were the first thing we did today and will be used for the wheels we will build tomorrow. We were promised that the wheel building process would be de-mystified, and that it is really a process oriented procedure (which should be good for me!)

The classroom is well equipped and we share a workbench with our partner in all the hands on procedures.
