Support for Australian Manufacturing to Come Back

5/5/2020

0 Comments

 
“The Boiler Shop” is re sharing this post by Weld Australia titled;
The Demise of Australian Manufacturing & the Impact of COVID-19
In this article by Weld Australia a historical account is given how manufacturing has played a key role for providing employment opportunities for many Australian workers in throughout previous generations. 
Picture
​The article talks about the golden years of the manufacturing sector as it contributed to 25% of the employed workforce. Due to so called efficiencies and the streamlining of our labour forces, decisions were made to slowly shift our manufacturing skills off shore in the 1970’s and by 1980 the total number of Australians employed in the manufacturing sector had been reduced to 19%. Fast forward to today and we are down to a dismal 5.4%of the Australian Workforce.
​
Comments are also made that even though the COVID-19 pandemic is a disaster we hope that on the other side there may be a silver lining on the horizon for Australian manufacturing.

Visit my website and discover dxf digital files that you can download and fabricate. Some of my designs enhance traditional wrought iron architectural work. I have a range of other items which I intend to digitize and introduce and make available to download later in 2020.

I have previously designed, fabricated and assembled many functional items which you can see via my gallery link on my web page. Some of my design work has ended up in places such as Toronto, Milwaukee, Ottawa & Sydney. It is satisfying knowing that some of my designs are in use in different corners of the globe.

Fabrication Training – Bisect an Arc

29/4/2020

0 Comments

 
Glen Jones from theboilershop.com.au demonstrates with the use of a pair of dividers and a straight edge how to bisect an arc. This fabrication Training bisect a given angle video was made to assist metal fabricators in the workplace with fabrication training tips and advice. You can also view one of me other Fabrication Training videos from the list below.
Fabrication Training - - Bisect a horizontal line
Fabrication Training - - Bisect a given angle
Fabrication Training - - Find 90° up from a horizontal line
Tungsten preparation and circuit selection for tig welding different metals
Fabrication Training - Quick twist in metal square bar
Fabrication tips - Cleaning Mirror finish Stainless Steel After Laser Cutting
I made this pipe fitting video for my workplace
These marking out skills are geometric construction techniques which are a dying art for the metal fabrication trade. Glen believes these skills should be upheld and maintained by all metal fabricators. It doesn’t matter whether you are a sheet metal worker, a platter, boilermaker, fabricator or an iron worker. These geometric construction techniques should be passionately pursued to maintain the intellectual knowledge when it comes to marking out on sheet plate surfaces.
Geometric development and marking out skills are not just required by metal fabricators on the shop floor but are also a valuable tool which can be used by programmers and CNC operators who operate CNC cutting equipment such as Laser cutters, Plasma Cutters & water jet cutters.
The best programmers and operators of CNC cutting equipment are fabricators from the shop floor who have learnt CAD skills and can use their intellectual trade knowledge to push design limits to the edge.
With the outbreak of the COVID19 virus and the impact on the fabrication industry let’s create Onshoring by up skilling our fabrication workforce. All of the basic fabrication skills need to be brought back into fabrication training, let us create the foundation and then move into understanding CAD systems and CNC programing. The greater the knowledge and skills that tradesman can become equipped with the greater chance we have to “MAKE THE FABRICATION TRADE GREAT AGAIN”.

Digital Tool for Engineering Traceability

11/4/2020

0 Comments

 
I recently made this video for my workplace. You may find this video useful if you are working in the Fabrication trade or related engineering trades.
There may also be a use for such a tool in many engineering workshops where it is required to capture evidence for traceability recording.

Engineering Traceability
The GoPro mounted to dial indicator assists with capturing evidence for identifying that the correct work sequence is being followed. The camera can be mounted above workers so it is not intrusive or can be used up close so specific evidence can be captured.
The GoPro mounted to dial indicator can capture video or can take time lapse still photos over a set period. The advantage of time lapse photos is that less hard drive space will be required than if the go pro was recording video. This is the same if storing to a cloud as opposed to physical hard drive.
Take note that the GoPro Hero 8 can live stream so these images can be sent straight to the cloud as the engineering work is taking place.
Additional use for such a tool is that once the images are captured the digital files can be reviewed to improve sequence of tasks, this will provide ways to streamline the manufacturing process. Training videos can also be produced to reflect required in house changes & improvements to production.

This training video was made in house by North Metro TAFE lecturing staff. The GoPro mount to the magnetic base of a dial indicator was made to assist Fabrication & Welding staff with their training delivery. The magnetic base is useful for attaching a GoPro camera to various types of fixed plant machinery and gives an up close perspective that can be discussed in class. The advantages of such a tool can provide a close view of cutting and mechanical movements of machinery which assist students in understanding cutting and bending processes.

The GoPro mounted to dial indicator also assists in regard to safe work practises on specific machinery through classroom discussion around potential issues such as crushing & pinch points before the live work takes place.

Free dxf Download

Glen Jones from theboilershop.com.au is looking at giving away free cnc files for laser cutting. This offer is until the end of January 2020 only. To see what the items are and get access to the free dxf files, read below and watch the video.

Free dxf Download continued..

On the 1st of February 2020 I will launch my new design range of laser cut wrought iron features. I am looking for metal work enthusiast who would be willing to download and cut out Small weld in Features SF11 & or SF12 for free. This offer is only for the month of January 2020. You can see what SF11 and SF12 look like and their function in the attached video.

I would be grateful if

After you have downloaded and cut the parts out I would grateful for any feedback that could be shared with me, GOOD or BAD, as this will help me improve my system and provide the best possible service for future products that I make available. For those willing to give additional quality feedback with great photos and comments I would consider creating a relationship where I could provide you with free additional downloads of products that I design and make available for the return of quality marketing material that I can use.
It would assist me greatly if I was made aware of any problems that you find with the dxf download process before the launch date of 1st of February 2020.

Background of The Boiler Shop

​These unique designs are only available from theboilershop.com.au and have been created by Glen jones to enhance traditional wrought iron architectural work. I have a range of other items which I intend to digitize and introduce and make available to download later in 2020.
I have previously designed, fabricated and assembled many functional cool items which you can see via my gallery link on my web page. It excites me when I know that some of my design work has ended up in places such as Toronto, Milwaukee, Ottawa & Sydney. I am now in the process of making all of my created work downloadable into CNC files and I look forward to witnessing my design work appear across the globe.
