With a little help from my friends 2

I have no background in design and my drawing teacher in 3rd grade asked me to quit after one lesson. I never tried again :D 

But to take our ideas and make it into reality I need lots of help. 

Enter Hari who owns and runs one of the best laser cutting and press brake workshops in town. He is very patient too. 

He takes my ideas and makes it into a CAD drawing. 

This drawing is used in CNC machines, laser cutting machines to create a part that can then be folded or welded into a greater whole. 

It calls for consideration of how much load the part will be subject to. How smoothly does it have to move. What has to fit into it. Long story short, it has to be robust, precisely built and move without friction without rattling around. A smooth squat needs every part to feel balanced and move smoothly. 

And we achieve this with a lot of help! Laser cutting, folding, grinding, polishing, welding and cleaning up the welds. There's a lot of work while ensuring the initial part works as intended. 

Takeaway

We make things to help clients move better. How it works trumps how it looks. But I realise that when you try and produce the simplest part possible to do the job, it winds up looking neat too!
