Octo Sculpt Alpha

I have created the base housing — wood cylinder which I cut at the 3/4 mark for an opening, simple hinge screw may be permanent.

All electronics are soldered and functioning. I have left length for audio connection but I believe the transducer will sit nicely through the base hole into the glass cloche.

Everything seems to be working on the audio and tactile end.

Still need to complete the velum overlays of the handwritten sheets and decide on the location of the trigger fingerprints. Have not tested this section yet.
