27th March 2012
Start Time: 8.00am
Yesterday Alex said that I would be working with him today- helping him with costings and ordering.
First of all I learned how to use the MasterCam programme to send information to the CNC router; just the basic principles but I was able to set the start point (0,0) and set the route (controlling the direction of the cut).
I then compiled a spreadsheet of all the items that needed ordering for the Cisco project; changing the existing one that was separated into areas of the set into one that was categorized by items (Paint finishes, flooring etc). I then had to source and order several items, calling up different companies and finding out delivery times and having invoices sent through to Alex.
I also did some colour-matching; changing the design from a fabric clad door to a painted finish (Joel's Wool Serge "Oxford Blue" matches Dulux' "7030-R90B" - incase you wanted to know!!). It's important that colour matching is always done in daylight, as flourescent light inflluenes what your eyes see.
My last job of the day was to measure an AC unit that is going within a set to be drawn up.
