Meeting with Richard McCabe

13th February 2012

The Model Box of the Set

Rebecca organised a meeting between myself, Richard, Laura and John to make sure everything was going in the right direction, and he could cast his professional opinion over everything. 

Richard and I met independently first, and we started by looking at the model box and compiling a list of stupid questions. Things like, 

- What are the scaff legs made of?

- How are they being fixed to the floor?

And from here we could start to build up a hardware list and everything else. 

Scaff legs were to be made of 48.8 ali scaff tube which is cheap and easy to get hold of - ask for the oldest, mankiest stuff to match the set design. To be attached to the floor using angled kee klamps. 

Hardware List

- 8 angled kee klamps

- 40 scaff clips (swivel) - to stop bars moving

- hex sets/nuts/washers / m10 x 50mm

- hex sets/nuts/washers / m8 x 60mm

- countersunk medium screw with nuts and washers

Richard and I then went through how we were going to build it, which I transferred into my technical drawings (the final ones you can see in my submission folder).
