The new MultiCam Western Canada office opens on Friday. That meant it was time to make a special delivery today. Grant and I loaded the truck with the sign and tools and we headed out this afternoon. When we got there I measured things up and located the studs on the wall. I then fastened the bracket to the wall and we lifted the sign into position. In about five minutes the job was done! Kelsey was all smiles as we loaded the tools back into the truck and drove away.
Lots of colour!
The shop is awash with colour as there are many large pieces in all degrees of finish. As always, they get their base coats, followed by the blended coats. This in turn is followed by the glazes and dry brushing which brings the pieces to life.
Full throttle
I spent about an hour in the shop this evening, finishing off the cutting file, plasma cutting the steel pieces and then welding up the throttle assembly for my 'MARVELOUS MACHINE'. The throttle lever is somewhat similar to the one I built for our train last year. The clunky mechanical switch will be much more dramatic than a simple on-off electrical button. On top of that it adds a whole lot of story telling detail to the piece.
