Industry Placement; Day Eleven

12th April 2012

I was back with Richie, and would be for the forseeable future which is good! One of the first jobs that needed doing was the steel truss needed covering in black lycra, a process that involved pulling it extremely tight, making sure there were no creases in it and stapling it into place. It was easier said than done because the truss is curved.  

Looks pretty slick!


 We then had to drill through and bolt all the hand rails down using a massive drill bit; I kept hitting my hand on the uprights because drilling through steel and MDF is a bit tough! Richie then took me into the workshop to knock up some light boxes with him.

Apparently drawing some spider lines makes things easier. 

CNC cut ply formers. 

Ta Dah!

I painted the insides of these - brilliant!
I spent most of this day painting the interiors of light boxes, but I didn't mind as I know it was a job that needed doing in haste.
