Cotton Gin


This is a photo of the cotton gin that Caleb and Ben helped their cousin make for his school project. They did an amazing job! I found it fascinating that they actually used Eli Whitney's original sketches of his cotton gin from the National Archives to help in the making of it. Now they're waiting to get some cotton from the South to see if it will actually work!

Hope the gin works. It looks nice. I wonder how it will get put to use later. T
