This weekend was a bit slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A couple of days ago I started to learn FreeCAD<\/a>, mostly for its FEM analysis mode and to build a couple of construction plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made another part of the cable trays for our comms closet. Initially I wanted to use FreeCAD for that but at the end it was faster to do a bit of trig and sketch the cuts on paper. It’s held in place with a couple of rivets. I also added a layer of pvc to shield the cables from the metal edges. Fits like a glove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also started to build a steel support for one of the walls. We made a big opening for cables and I’m a bit uneasy about the lack of support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fun with a plasma cutter follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

After a bit of planning I set up to cut some plates bought long ago on a scrapyard<\/a>. The torch was in a very sorry state and at times felt more like gouging than cutting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
