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

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”.

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.

“MAKE THE FABRICATION TRADE GREAT AGAIN”.

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.

In this Blog Glen Jones from www.theboilershop.com.au shows off one of his latest digital downloads for Laser Cutting. Enhance gates and fence panels.

This is one of the laser cutting dxf digital downloads that I am offering via my web site www.theboilershop.com.au Small Weld in features SF11 & SF12 are designs which I have created to help people enhance traditional wrought iron gates and fence panels. These designs are drafted and created  using CAD software. I provide assembly videos, pdf sketch for dimensions, Cut list for laser cutting. To access this information follow these steps.

1. go to www.theboilershop.com.au
2. click on the drop down menu and find SF11 or SF12
3. The next page provides all options for each design
