Fit new wall lighting
Crane detailing
Workshop doors
Stephen progressed the new light fittings, finally working out (with Geoff) how each building could be wired and the placement of the extra resistors where there is a 12v supply. The lighting wires are so incredibly thin that something appropriate to join them up was sought and found in the form of stripped-down parallel printer cable. It is still going to be difficult incorporating the wires inside the buildings, keeping them safe from damage, whist maintaining full accessibility to removable parts. Some soldered joints were attempted and found to be quite viable, albeit very fiddly.
The generator building was removed for the process and this view of the whole gasifier equipment became visible.
Laurence moved the crane on a bit more before having a test-run of locating it on the baseboard. After a joint discussion, a suitable location and orientation was agreed. The hill behind prevents the normal arrangement, so the support arms will need to be adjusted and possibly shortened, when they are fixed onto concrete bases, cut into the hillside.
Geoff worked on the workshop doors, fitting and painting the sliding door gear.
However, yet more time was spent on the laser cutter, finishing off previous projects and running off a few more leaves.... Stephen had been experimenting with wood dyes and the sheet of paper beside Geoff (above) was a mixture of mahogany and golden pine. A new drawing of mixed-size leaves (1500+ on an A4) had been created and cutting was started, but will have to be reviewed next week due to the excessive cutting time.
Hopefully, we'll be more motivated next week?
