There's something interesting going on here, at least I think you'll find it interesting
0:14
We're working on a staircase project like I've told you about before. You haven't actually seen anything that looks much like a stair yet, but this is a particularly
0:23
unusual part of the process. We've made some templates here. These are the metal parts that we're going to need to make the supporting structure of
0:34
the stairs. These are all the templates here. Our plan is to have these parts cut out in metal, quarter of an inch thick plate steel
0:48
We're using a service to make that happen. We've sent these people digital files, so scale vector files in full size of all these parts
1:01
They plug those files into their cutting machine and out comes the parts we need, or at least
1:07
that's what we hope. We've also done some designs here, some fancy designs
1:13
This is a prototype just made out of some scrap aluminum just to make sure that everything
1:19
is correct. This part here corresponds to this larger part. This will be at the top of the stairs
1:26
You'll see this later in future videos. The stairs will weld some pieces on here
1:32
This is what's going to support the top of it. The really interesting thing is just the quality of the work that this equipment does
1:42
This is out of aluminum. As I said, it's just a test
1:45
My son Robert has done this design on the computer. Look at how well rendered that is
1:52
This is very crisp. It's exactly the way it was designed. We're really pleased
2:00
The interesting thing is that this was cut with a machine that uses water to blast through
2:06
the metal. Water mixed with a certain abrasive compound in the water
2:12
It fires a jet of water at about 40,000 psi. This jet of water, the nozzle that produces this jet of water, is controlled by the computer
2:29
As I've discovered, there are three metal cutting type processes of this sort of computer control
2:34
There's plasma cutting, which is the coarsest. There's laser cutting. Then there's this water jet cutting
2:43
We're really pleased with the way this has turned out. Now, because the size of this corresponds with the size of our templates, we've proven
2:52
that the computer files are correct and ready to go. We're just going to tell him, yes, go ahead and do this
2:59
Then we'll get some actual quarter inch thick steel parts that we'll show you when we get
3:04
here and that you'll see during the welding process as well. Just thought you might like to see this pretty neat stuff
