05.06.09 - Structure complete...





A few moments of panic when we realised that the fabricators had missed one piece from the CAD nets, and sent us three duplicates. By this point it is friday afternoon.

Ran to the union. Persuaded them to lend us a minibus to take our two spare sheets of plywood back to Leicester Laser. Fabricators cut the missing piece immediately at no cost to us. Another advantage of CAD/CAM is that it is quick to set up the fabrication operations. Advantage to using a local fabricator. Would be even better if it was in-house.

By the end of the day we had each section of the structure assembled and complete.
