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!!!

Hi All!!!

If you can let me know ASAP that would be great.

Thanks

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
