One of the careers I considered in my early twenties was architect. I even took one year at BCIT learning the trade. I decided I didn't like the technical aspects of the business. I didn't want to spend my years at a desk and I discovered I best loved to draw freehand. Since then I have designed many buildings, art directed many projects, most often putting a creative twist on plans drawn by others. It's a fun job! Today's project was the final version for a store/restaurant/house in Squamish. The client came with a plan in hand. My job was to fancy it up. This is going to be a very fun project!
Fancy brackets for ?
We love our new MultiCam CNC plasma cutter. All of a sudden we can cut metal of all thicknesses precisely and quickly. Complex shapes are no problem at all. That means some things I've been putting off are now possible. One such project is for the house... and will require twelve of these handy rigs. Any guesses what this thing is? Tomorrow evening I'll post a picture of them installed... Take a guess.
One track mind
Jenessa has been working hard on the train models and they are now nearing completion of the sculpting process. Doing the models has allowed us and the train chassis builder to work out many details regarding placement of the mechanical components. The model will also serve us well as we begin sculpting the real thing.
