Plates

platerender

We took a little time today to draw up a quick DXF in Illustrator and get some quotes for laser / waterjet cut steel plates to act as truss bases for a client. Even though the project would have been cheaper (than commercially available parts) the client did not wish to proceed for a number of factors. An excellent design and study none the less which will be useful down the track…

The above was a 3D render in Illustrator.

Trusst Me

Not even the pouring rain is putting the dampener on big shows (at least the indoor ones!)

Last evening or so has been spent helping One20Productions rig and program a large lightshow.

Work has included fabricating new platter mounts to allow the effects lighting to sit securely on the new truss.

We’ll also be working on fabricating our own steel bases in future as it will be a considerable cost saving for our clients versus buying and shipping from elsewhere.

News

stencil That’s right folks – our new WordPress site is up and running.

And our new waterjet cut stencil is here which means we’re busy building things here in the workshop.

Be sure to look around the rest of the site if you haven’t done so already and watch our business unfold…

Projects

Wherever there’s sawdust there’s something being made…

The last few weeks have been mad as we extend the storage capabilities of our pallet racks to better allow access to our stock – all this in between in launching this new site, our regular daily rounds and even filing some old tax returns!

The Time Has Come…

Welcome to the new home of Factotum Industries.

After almost 7 years with my former employer I have made the move to operate my own independent company so that I may make my varied skills and resources available to the wider market.

July 1st 2009 will see the launch of what I think will be the greatest evolution in my business plans to date – I look forward to sharing the journey with all of you.

Please be sure to check out the expanding News & Projects pages (along with the others) to begin to understand the scope of this new enterprise.
