We are busy planning the next phase of the NEBs Fun World project. That project involves putting a while new fun theme to the pub. Plans include some steampunk styled decor with a giant still as the centrepiece. It's going to be a whole lot of fun!
Made in the shade
They've almost finished installing the new boardwalk up at Cultus Lake Adventure Park. It goes around and over much of Giggle Ridge Adventure Golf. The crew did a careful and amazing job of installing the massive structure. They had to dig hundreds of holes in the golf to pour footings and the giant timber uprights. They kept the damage to an absolute minimum and when they were done we got called in to repair and add some features to the golf. While we were at it we are repainting the colourful rocks in the creek. Today we began that work.
We loaded up our tool trailer with all of the supplies and tools we would need. While the painting crew set to work on the repaints Peter started welding up the structures for the new features. The wiring crew followed close behind with the expanded lath. Tomorrow is mud day when we will trowel on the fibreglass reinforced concrete and sculpt in the detail.
The day was bright and sunny but because we were working under the new boardwalk we had it made in the shade.
Gearing up
I kept the MultiCam CNC router humming today as I cut out the six gears for the 'MARVELOUS MACHINE'. Each gear was created in two pieces which will be glued back to back which meant there were twelve detailed pieces to cut. Cutting ultra hard plastic is something I've only done twice in ten years. That dictated a slow and easy approach until I had all of the feed rates and spindle speeds down pat. The gear pieces turned out perfect and in the next days I'll start the assembly process. Once that is done we can begin installing them onto the machine. Stay tuned...
