The steel structure I drew up and gave to the workshop yesterday had been built - hurrah! Although it was welded together and it was supposed to be bolted - I made the mistake of not relayinf this information to the metalwork guys - in other words - I forgot. Oops.
Here it is completed with timber cladding.

I then created a CNC ready drawing of some bar tops for a Coca Cola job - there was a learning process involved in this; for example making sure the drawing was at co-ordinates (0,0) so the MasterCam programe can find it (problems with working in infinite spaces), making sure its on the right sheet material bed and also saved in the right area for the programmer to find it.
For lunch I had a cheese and ham sandwich in a crusty roll that was really yummy - although I forgot I didn't have any cash and now owe Tony the sandwich man £3 for Monday. Oops!!
I did a rough costing for Richard for a company wanting SetSquare to make some sofas - so I had to mock up a drawing of roughly what it would look like, work out quantities for leather upholstery, foam etc and compare that to a price from contract furniture makers Hillcross to make a similar sofa (Verona Bench). I created a spreadsheet and emailed it to Richard to he had something to show the client - basically - it's to expensive to custom make furniture - better to contract it.
