Seems that the hardtack went over well. Alexis came home with a new list of items for the next project: 2x4 board (about 3 feet long); metal tube, open at both ends, 5 mm through the tube; whittling equipment; small lead balls (about 5 mm diameter); precision mettallurgy tools; something called a "flintlock mechanism", and gunpowder. Most of these things we were able to get at Michael's, though I had to go to the internet for the flintlock. Surpisingly, the gunpowder was easy. I actually got that as a free gift when I attended a local Tea Party Patriots gathering.
Again, I'm kicking myself for not asking what the ultimate goal was for these items. Perhaps some kind of tent? I really need to pay more attention to my children's schoolwork. Take an interest in their projects.
