Schedule of works for final week

Hi all! Please find below a schedule of works for this final week.We only have FOUR DAYS to finish!

We MUST stick to this schedule this week if we are going to get this finished at TOP QUALITY.

We cant PFAFF about this week Like we kinda did last week.

I have put people into certain job areas so everyone isnt all trying to DO THE SAME JOB AT ONCE!!!

Please sitck to the area you are allocated and we will see everything happen much more quickly.

If you are in more than one area you are to help out in the other area if they are needing more hands.

It would be great to get the structure standing by Wednesday to make sure it will stay up... just incase....haha.

For those who didnt pay the $20 for steel i will need to get it off you Monday to cover costs of other things that need to be payed.

Please also remember to have $11 each to give me so we can pay for the router.

Thanks guys see you all tomorrow morning.

Next Meeting Mon 15th Sept

Hey all!!

Great work today!

Our next meeting will be Monday 15th Sept at 9am can everyone try and be there then as we will only have 4 day from then to get it finished................which means we will have to be there every day of this next week.

So this weekend the steel shoe and plate is getting cut...awesome. So all we should have to do is painting and getting it all together, POSTER Noelle please talk to Rose if you havent already she has info on what else has to go on it etc. PLEASE for those who have photos can you put them on the blog so everyone can see them.



What are your thoughts on the fabric for the roof? Do we go with the mesh? If so we need to get it cheap or free...cause it seriously can cost $40-$60 per meter or more.....no joke. So we need to have this finalised by Monday otherwise it will be too late. So if you have any ideas or know of any places that might be good check them out and get back to the group Monday and we will discuss it.

Great...thats it!!
Have a good weekend!!!

poster

this is just a trial poster to see what everyone thinks about the initial layout..ofcourse more photos need to be added and fixed up properly plus i need to write somethings about each one of us..not sure what to write yet...the quality might not be so good cause i'm working off powerpoint and when printing the quality is better if printed straight from the powerpoint not a jpeg..hope that wasnt too confusing..

anyway let me know what u guys think ..

hey

just an interesting shape
i really like this chair ..it's very similiar to our roof

maybe it could help with the chair design

Hi Everyone,

We are going to be again working on the project tomorrow 11th Sept.

If you can be there that would be great.
Let me know if you are unable to be there I understand it is hard to keep up with everything when this takes so much out of our time. BUT there is only 8 day to go on it and still ALOT to get through.
Sounds like people will be coming around 11am or midday.

Hope to see you all there
Perri

:)

I'll be down in the workshop at about 12.30

:)

Tomorrow 10th September

Hi all!

Work is going really well on the project. Got a heap done today. So well done.
We will start work on it again tomorrow at 11am after the History Lecture. Lets try and hit it hard again tomorrow so we can at least get the main structure almost finished.

RAFIA, JASON,NOELLE concentrate on getting the seat on its way.
EVERYONE ELSE will work on the main structure and the roof.

Please can those that haven't payed their total money get it to me ASAP as we need it for more materials.

Also how would you all like to have our project displayed just out side the library entrance? This its one of the free spaces and would be a good spot as it is high and can be viewed from above aswell. Let me know what you think and I can book it.

Thanks guys. See you all tomorrow.

YAY

just thought i would say hi, im finally on the blog! when im on my laptop i will put on some photos i took a few weeks ago researching the roof. x

For this week

Hey Hey!

Following the discussion we had with Anthony Worm on Friday:

- Friday at the end of the day a few of us went and bought new bolts for the main structure,they are male and female bolts so they will be identical on either side of the structure to achieve good aesthetics.
It sounds like they will be judging us on our craftsmanship and how aesthetically pleasing it will be at the end. So lets try and get 'all' the finishing touches to the highest standard we can.

- Jason M. will be replacing the spray paint with the new colour we have chosen which is the light/charcoal colour. Jason are you able to have this done by Tuesday?

- It looks like we will shape the main column as Jason G suggested to keep it aesthetically accurate. When you think about it it will be best. Good idea Jason!

So this week we need to attempt to have done/finished:

- The design for the seat.
- Shaping of the colum.
- Cut, glue and 'make good' of the main roof beam.
- Poster (at least started)
- Painting of the roof members
- Steel shoe started.
- Get more (or different) Brackets for roof members.
- Figure out how we will stretch canvas over roof.

So as suggested by Anthony Worm I have allocated people to the jobs that need to be completed by this week. He advised us that instead of all 10 of us working on the same thing at once we need to have people working on 'all' of the jobs at once. Saves time & no dodgy quick jobs at the end.

I have allocated you each to an area (no bias involved, i just thought you are suited for them).

- JUREEN, ROSE & JASON G. can you please focus of getting the Seat design finished this week. Stretch your imagination on this one Anthony DOES NOT want to see a flat 'stuck on' seat he suggested having a look at the work of furniture designers etc to create something really different and ergonomic, make it an event for some one to sit on it. You have freedom to do anything. Get the design finished come back to the group and finalise it and then get the materials materials and start constructing it as soon as possible. Try and arrange times when you can all work on it as a group.

- NOELLE, JOEL, STUART can you please focus on getting the final painting of the roof members finished (they may need a few coats). ADRIAN can you please supervise this.

- ADRAIN, RAFFIA, JASON M. and MYSELF will work on cutting, cleaning and finishing the main column and the roof beam.

- ADRIAN can you follow up the steel and welding for the 'steel shoe'

If anyone runs out of things to do I will allocate you to the other areas that need more help.
If any one has any issues let me know.These are all active roles so no one is going to be left out or not doing anything.

Thanks for those who have given me your availability times. If the rest of you can get that to me soon that would be gr8. I will then be able to see who we have for each day and work the 'schedule of works' clearly.

I suggest we have Monday off this week lets use it as a time to catch up on other units...Hey? So we will be next meeting up on Tuesday 9th September get there when you can, I will be there around 10am, everyone else come when you can.

Alright guys see you Tuesday.

Have a good rest of the weekend!!!

Thanks
Perri

Tomorrow 5th September

OK Everyone.

Tomorrow we will be again working as much as possible on the project.

I spoke with Des Walters this afternoon about the use of the router it looks like it will be free but we need the drawings in CAD for this up to scratch by tomorrow morning. Is this OK Jureen? Is it possible for you to be there with the drawings when Nolee and I are in?

Des also said there will be two options for the cutting of the timber: one is the router unfortunately the drill bit is only 42 mm and our timber is 45 mm deep and he is unsure wether it will work but he is willing to give it a go.
The other option is a jigsaw but he knows we want a near perfect cut and the jigsaw wont give us this and if this is the way we go we have to print out full scale drawings and use them as a template for the cut.
Eitherway we will need the CAD drawings and each has its own problems.

Noelle and I will be in around 9:30am tomorrow @ workshop to go and change the paint get some more primer, change the bolts and get the roof fabric (unless anyone else wants to do it??). It would be good if someone could tell me ASAP what size bolts we need. '

Also tomorrow if everyone can bring in reciepts PLEASE and each $50 as we need to pay for the router and extra materials bought.

Any questions just give me a call.

Thanks guys
Perri

Dudes!

Firstly, Ju,

If you read this soon, we need a CAD template for the main beams of the project so we can use the router in the workshop to cut to pieces for us.  We need it by 4pm today (Thurs).

Everyone,

Also,  I'm willing to come in on Saturday to keep working on this if you guys are too
