Door Part 1

You've seen my job, now see it in 3D using Autocad 2007 and some paintbrush work!:)

This is the door as you have seen in my previous post (remember the one in red primer). This is supposedly the finishing color, and fully assembled. However, this is done in a computer. In reality, some of the doors are yet to be completed. So next time if you board a ship and notice some weird device like this on a door, remember this!!=)

Anyways, here's a closer look at one of the components. It's called a toggle finger. For this type of door (weathertight), it takes four (4) toggle fingers to lock the door leaf up to the frame. Four toggle fingers and two (2) swivel plates make the whole mechanism and door known as the four dog door (why dog I don't know, and the components don't resemble a dog).

There are other components yet that are still to be drawn and modeled. These pictures are only for personal usage, not for submission to clients and such. Well, hopefully these information / pictures will be useful for you guys in the future when you board a ship.

Time to sleep!

My job..

Well well, brand new start to the site, I decided maybe its time I should write something.

Firstly, let me introduce my not-so-new ride anymore:

19" Da Bomb Tora Bora XC with the transplant of my previous 17" Diamondback components. So far, this new baby has gone thru the harshness of the KLMB Hash in Semenyih the other day, where I almost puked my guts out due to the Sausage Mcmuffin With Egg, Hash Brown and Coffee I had earlier. Never do that again!! Hope to put my ride to the test again at FRIM this weekend. Anyways , took this picture wit my phone while eating cendol n rojak in kota kemuning!

Work..most of you always wonder, "Patrick, what the do you do?Doors? you are an engineer, and you build doors?"Well, to give all of you a better picture, as of 13/10/2008, this is what I do:-

These kind of doors you see on the ship. This is supposedly the finished product, without the finishing coat. Only the red primer. More pictures:



The second last picture is not a door. Anyways, make a guess?what would you call a door that lies flat on the ground??come on..


It's a hatch!:)

That's just for ships and vessels. EV: look at my CAD work!looks simple but plenty eh!

Then there's the other type of door.Most of you might have seen these pictures thru facebook, but here we go again:



These are the blast doors, usually for the you-know-who people!:)
