Wednesday 7th June

Worklist:
Workshop doors
Generator room wall lights
Crane base

A full house and a fairly productive day.

Geoff gathered the various parts of the workshop sliding doors assembly including the new laser-cut doors themselves, and fitted them to the building. After discussions, further detailing elements were fabricated and added, namely the vertical door stop and the head-channel fixing brackets. All of the unpainted items were then .... painted.



Stephen had the platform board fixed upright on the trestles so that the additional wires could be soldered to the goods lighting power supply (3v). With the board laid flat, the generator room wall lights were fitted and the wiring added in parallel to the existing filament lighting. However, these being 12v, an extra resistor was required. The tiny LED's in the wall lights were only just visible below the rims of the shades, but it was enough to make it worthwhile.



The crane base had been formed from a block of hardwood and needed to be 'faced' with appropriate building materials. Laurence added plastic brickwork strips to the sides and a plaster/filler topping.



Whilst most of the session was conducted in a suitable fashion, a slightly more laid-back approach was noted post-lunch.
