Today, we cut the last major piece for the Viking ships that are found for Motiongate in Dubai. This project would have been almost impossible without the modern software and MultiCam CNC plasma cutter to do this work. Peter created more than sixty digital cutting files and hundreds of pieces were cut precisely and quickly from thick steel plate. We simply love using this awesome machine!
The Occasion Station
Imagine the Occasion Station which is in the formal garden. It has a fine wrought iron appearance, complete with an appropriately scaled gold pocket watch hung from the giant decorative bracket. Disembark at this station for seasonal and special celebrations such as birthdays, picnics, easter egg hunts, pumpkin and Christmas tree festivals and much, much more. The only way for guests to travel to this area is on the garden train of course. And in the evening hours just imagine this finely crafted station awash with magical twinkling white lights.
More than half mast
Today was a holiday for most of the crew but Norm & Matt volunteered to work on one of the masts for the Viking ships destined for Motiongate in Dubai. The mast was a tricky build with various sized pipes, plasma cut steel plates and some tubing trusses. All of it had to be carefully aligned and welded perfectly straight. For this job we needed some seasoned help and I called in my good buddy Norm from Vancouver Island. We go back with about thirty years of unusual projects. He's the guy who taught me to weld. We made great progress on our first day and almost wrapped up the first of two masts.
